Since We're Talking About Grails...

I am on a business trip in Paris. I had one day, today, to explore and I found a watch I have always wanted. Being a Ferrari Tifoso all of my life and a guy who works in the motorsport world this to me is one of the quintessential motorsport watches. I honestly never thought I would own one but the dollar is strong and I couldn't resist. It is filthy and the crystal is scratched. All of the functions work but it needs a good bath. I will post more pictures of it when I get it back from the spa but I couldn't resist posting an iPhone photo taken in the light of my hotel room's bedside lamp. Ref: 1158s Third My old eyes are having a hard time reading the serial number without a loupe but it is something like 240977. The case back is beautiful with a nice clear mark and it weighs a ton. I can't wait to wear it to IMS in May and get my picture taken with Mario.
