I have been looking for one of these for ages.
I have found one on Ebay but on close inspection it looks a mess.

Blimey, is that how much they go for now?!?
Perhaps I'd better get a new battery put in mine and get it advertised then!

I was just about to post the same listing as I knew there'd be interest!
No way would I buy it for that price, I mean I want one, but from what I've read they're not particularly good time pieces, especially for the price.
How about this one for £1300?

What did they cost when new?
The comment in the description: A high precision quartz movement, a three-dial 1/10th of a second stopwatch timing system (up to one hour), and a calendar mechanism promote sophistication. The stainless steel casing completes the technical flowing profile of the watch, and is finished with an etched logo of Lotus Design on the rear of the case. This is equally complemented by a comfortable and durable high-density resin adjustable strap with a stainless steel buckle.
Are they sure?

It was £175. I got one.
Here's my summary:
Looks great. I love it it - but if you were going to buy one....(for that inflated price...)
The straps are very poor and split after less than a year of wear. Hard to find replacements. I bought 3 just in case. I no longer wear it daily.
Mine did not remain water resistant for long (good to see some nice similarities with my car).
It's a fairly standard mechanism ie Casio inside.
It doesn't have particularly scratch resistant glass and the orange bezel is easily marked.
The marque and the 'type1' are what gives it it's value. It's not a true 'timepiece' and it certainly isn't the watch version of the bike!
