Please can someone help?!

Hi, i'm sorry to just barge in and all but i was wondering if anyone could help.

My boyfriend is a biker although he doesn't have a ducati. (He has a blade). He's seen a breil watch...

http://www.britishwatchcompany.com/p...oducts_id/3556

... and i want to buy it him for xmas. Now when he saw it he jokingly said "i've not got a ducati though so i can't have it!". So i wanted to buy him the watch and a model of a ducati (not being quite rich enough to buy the real thing! )

So my question is... what model do i buy? Does the watch relate to a certain ducati? And where can i get one?

If anyone can help it'd be really appreciated

Most Ducati stores sell the Breil watches so might be worth popping down and seeing what they can do.

As for the models well as Steve says Minichamps make the most accurate models but the choice is down to you or him, could be a 916 all the way up to the Desmosedici, again see if you can find a decent model shop near you good ones sell minichamps

Well how nice is that, the watch will not be for any pecific Ducati model and really the choice is open. The older generation may look to the 996/998 as the iconic Ducati, the 999 being the new version and the Flagship of the Ducati range. Most can be seen on E bay ( under Ducati ) or in some of the modelling shops, you can pay anything from £5-- £25 depending on size and quality. 4D

Breil sponser the Ducati GP team so it had better be one of their bikes.I've listed some links to models on ebay which would be a match.

You could try a Ducati dealer as they sometimes sell models but generally any Ducati moto GP bike will fit the bill

What about one of these instead of a model.
