Gave up on F1 a long time ago, but think you'll be paying a premium as these are collectable now Seiko/Honda is dead.

Christopher Ward all the way I think.

I have the top one bought it two years ago and paid full whack £425 but wear it every day never miss a beat love it and get a lot of people asking about it.

Sorry, but my thoughts are that it looks a bit cheap & tacky.

The CW is nicer.

I have the second of the two pictured, but with the bracelet, not the urethane strap. I paid £268 from a discount wholesalers in Edinburgh a year ago (retail £350 normally). Its a good everyday watch, but a little heavy, so I now wish I had bought it with the urethane strap - I can get one, for about £60 I believe.
I now wish that I had bought the Oris Williams F1 watch instead. Mainly because they are automatic (as is the CW). The old versions are being sold off by Goldsmiths at a 20 - 50% discount as the 2009 versions are in the stores now (and less attractive inmho).

The Christopher Ward one for me all the way definitely!

If you can stretch the budget a little and still want an F1 inspired watch, this is what I would go for (and I am on the look out)

Have you checked Goldsmiths? They've got an Oris sale on at the moment.

Not keen on the first one, but the others are all very nice.

If your buying from the goldsmiths sale, dont forget to use quidco for the extra 17% off like i did
