    New at FerrariStore.com and only 200 Euros.

    "The close collaboration with the Ferrari Pit Crew has resulted in the creation of this extraordinary chronograph, which has a marked sporting soul.
    The watch is produced in limited edition of only 1500 pieces all over the world!
    The crown and the buttons are made of aluminium and titanium, while the strap, made of black rubber, gives pleasant sensations by the touch.
    The Scuderia Ferrari logo represented in the middle of the red dial catches the eye. It also appears on the bottom, while the Ferrari logo is imprinted on the steel buckle.
    The special packaging is created exclusively for this limited edition and reproduces a particular of the engine of Ferrari F430, the enchanting V8-engined berlinetta.
    Marked out by the wonderful design, the Pit Crew Watch is equipped with box and warranty valid for 24 months from the purchase date.
    Technical information:
    Titanium bezel with IPS treatment

    Cheaper than the GP above!

    I dunno how "comfortable" rubber is against the wrist...any diver's among us?
    Pretty common on dive watches........

    Rubber bands are just fine. They are comfortable and very durable.

    It looks like this watch is an automatic, which is great. It always amazes me that GP, Panerai, etc., can charge 5K for an automatic when the real cost is a couple of hundred bucks.

    What's the old saying...."For $12.95 you can get a Timex at the drugstore, anything past that is 'jewelry'"......

    Truthfully I rarely put a wristwatch on anymore as my cute lil' cellphone tells me what time it is.....LOL!

    It won't do lap times though......

    I think the movement is a quartz movement...

    The movement is a quartz G10.211, which is actually a pretty good caliber.
    That movement is in quite a few chronograph models in upwards of $1000

    I prefer mine - G-P F360GT pit crew edition. 1 of 14 worldwide. Leather *and* rubber bracelets. Cost to me - $0. Value? Priceless!

    (how *did* you think I picked this nickname???)

    I do, but unfortunately, am unable to post as computer at home is flaking out....

    It's pretty much the same as the other G-P 360GT watches (which had been advertised in several of the national Ferrari mags at the time - 2002, 2003), but with a gray prancing horse in place of the yellow S/F shield. And special engraving on the back w/ our names and "Pit Crew" beneath. The watches are registered in G-P's database under each of our names (rather than the usual s/n). And even the box it came in is a work of art - high gloss bright red finish w/ large S/F shield on top, and the softest leather lining you ever felt. Very nice. Heck, the box alone is worth at least half the price of admission!

    As I mentioned, they gave us both the rubber and black leather w/ red stitching straps, but I've since bought the titanium bracelet, as I knew the leather wouldn't last that long (a year at best) even though it looks GREAT, and the rubber isn't so comfortable. Besides, the ti bracelet really gives it the "look".

    Pretty cool stuff.

    I called to see if I could order three more. They are sold out and will not have any more available- "limited edition" I was told. Question is, do I keep the one I am getting for myself or give it as a gift? I bet they there will be some showing up on E Bay as soon as they deliver.

    If anyone bought one and is willing to let it go for MSRP because they changed their mind, I think I'll buy one. I just can't afford to pay over 200 Euro being in high school in all ;).
