Car / Racing inspired watches?

[pbirkett]

Thinking of treating myself to a watch, and quite like the ones I've seen with a racing theme / car theme. Under £100 or at least not much more than that.

Been looking on ebay, noticed some De-Tomaso ones, and I've seen the odd nice citizen watch too for the price. Some nice TAG ones but they are way more than I can justify!

Any ideas?

All the watch Guru's hang out in the watch forum here:

Shall I ask a Mod to move your thread?

Too late I already did.

The most famous car racing watch would be the TAG Monaco - just a lot out of your price range!

Next stop: Seiko - Formula 1 sponsors. Do some nice modern watches. Price? £99 to you Sir.

for not many notes over a £100 you can get the wave ceptor from Casio which is quite nice.

i'm looking at getting one myself just because i quite like the look of it

Williams sell a team branded watch for under £100. But it's not one of the much better quality Oris team models. In fact I've got no idea who makes it! Looks ok for the price though.

Oh yes, and that Lotus one is lovely....

I just had the Lotus watch for my birthday and I'm over the moon with it, present from the other half which adds more value than anything.

Have to wait just a little longer for my Monaco.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these Lotus watches from? They don't seem to be available from the lotus website anymore.

She got mine from a website called hanger111 apparently. They were a bit tardy with delivery, missed my birthday by three days but other than that they seemed fine.

The Lotus watch is a limited edition of 2000. Not listed on the Lotus website any more so may have all been sold?

long story but I ended up with two Lotus Watches, 1 I use and the other totally unsed, boxed etc, email me if interested
