Lexus isF Watches

[Big Rat]

Now I know there are one or two on here who have a vast knowledge on this subject @Flytvr and @Mark G to name but two.

My self er no but I do know what a sundial looks like.

So apparently Lexus did a run of watches in 2008 for the release of the car and were given to valued employees etc and presumably good customers @Flytvr go to the back of the que 😂

Anyway the original design is believed to be this style in the second two pics and the others presumably are just sort of novelty items I guess, Christmas stocking list anyone.

I do love a good accessory, I like the top one, the middle one I've seen on eBay, £29.99 and I think might melt above 25 degrees. The last one looks nicely made but not my style. Let horology experts Mark and Dav give their opinions....

[Grey One]

I've seen the first two on eBay and in a dealers.  To my eye they just look quite cheap and tacky, mind you given they are quite cheap to buy no harm in getting one if you like that kind of thing.  I guess if a quality watch marque did an 'F' watch it would be quite desirable, but I don't find many of the car derived watches that appealing.

[Mark G]

The first one pictured looks ok for a day to day use I suppose, at the end of the day though it will be a relatively cheap quartz watch, each to their own though.

Is it expensive ?

[Mark G]

Depends on what you call expensive @Big Rat around $16,000 US so in the great scheme of things no.

However this sold for $5.5 million US in 2010

@Mark G That's very nice but I'm thinking when I'm down in a mud filled ditch in the depths of winter and its hoofing down with rain I'd be better off with something just a little less expensive 😃

I love a good watch, rich man's hobby though 🙁

[Big Rat]

@Rusty Crobar The thing is Russ even when they are rich they don't always have taste in watches, shame used to like Public Enemy.

I agree, I've got a little collection of watches in a safe and i'm certainly no rich man

Well I do have 5 watches myself and I'm certainly not a rich man, dispite the rumours 😑. All of mine are under £250 but you can get some nice pieces if you shop around.

Totally agree.  I have a citizen eco drive that was fairly cheap but i wear regularly and have a Rolex i wear every day.  I went through a phase of buying tags and breitlings that never see the light of day and it's a shame really, nice watches should be worn!!!!!

 

Looking back, don't think i would buy any more dear ones as they really are a work of art and i love my Rolex Oyster so much i wouldn't wear them
