Some friends of mine have recently come into possession of a watch which we can't identify.
There are no manufacturer names or symbols that we can see, other than Ferrari. I'm told the strap is a replacement, and that the original was blue leather with metal links, in a similar style to the one now fitted.
It looks pretty old and well used.. Unfortunately we can't identify it on Google, none of the watches that come up look like it.
So, I'm hoping one of you watch enthusiasts may be able to help.
It may just be a knock-off or it might be something rare, does anyone recognise it?

Putting it simple, it’s junk. Worth positing just for the offset day/date hands though - impressive!

Has the crown been lost or can you just never change the time?

Seems to have a recessed crown not visible in other pictures. I haven't seen the watch myself, my friends live overseas and sent me these pictures to try and identify it.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, but are you basing your answer on knowledge, do you know the manufacturer etc., or just that it's in poor condition.
Some of the utter crap that some people pay good money for makes it worth asking the question.

The fact that it’s engraved with the words “unt per hour” on the tachymètre would make me suspicious for starters.

It’s a very very cheap Chinese watch with a Ferrari logo on it, nothing to do with Ferrari and. It even a ‘replica’ as it’s not a replica of anything.
From cheap case materials and cheap plating to a dial with non functioning hands that aren’t even central to the parts they’re supposed to be, it’s worthless.

Well it ain't no Hublot, that's for sure. It is clearly not a quality fined item.

Ok, thanks for the info, I'll pass on the good news to him laugh

I think it actually belongs to a friend of his and I believe he got given it, so no loss. In fact I don't think any of them care, but were curious.

Thanks again for the help.
