Is the car/Ferrari theme a must have?

Tough to beat a Seiko SRP (aka "the Turtle") for a daily beater...approx $325.

Not at all. But, I think its pretty 'neat', reasonably priced and likely decent quality, so jumped on it. Did check out the Seiko, Pulsar & Bulova models at our local horologist and the Ferrari watch falls into the sweet-spot $-wise for me. Plus, I'll have a nice Ferrari model car to gather dust (or give my grandson).

My local horologist tells me that only the higher end watches ($3K and above) don't start life in China. While the watch may have a Swiss or Japanese movement, the case is most likely Chinese with only the final finish (if even that much) put on in the 'home' country. He (and brother & brother's wife) are an interesting trio. They are Japanese-American born here in 1st years of WW2. Cannot have been easy for his family. Hope they last as long as I do as are all in their late 70s and are great to deal with.

My two (2) Ferrari's arrived. Just what I was looking for as a 'beater' watch. The model is very nice. Must weight 2-3 pounds. A good gift for my 13yr-old grandson.
