Not sure if this has made an appearance on here or not.
I'm trying to figure out what all those stars on the watch and box are supposed to represent.
I'm guessing maybe this?
3 – Verstappen has won his third world championship.
6 – He seized the title in the Qatar sprint race with 6 Grands Prix remaining, equalling the record from 2002.
I thought it meant RB racing has six constructor championship wins
Yeah, you're probably right. I was thinking specifically about Max. Only two of the constructor's championships came with Max.
Seems to be as much of a RB racing watch as it is a Max watch, celebrating "world champions"
Makes way more sense.
Although the Stars looks more military than motorsport. I would've preferred a different graphic. Maybe Trophies or the Laurel Leaf motif.
It seems this watch was given to all the Red Bull Racing employees, so it was probably never sold to the public. This is a post by a RBR team member in a TH group in facebook:

It'll be hot item on the collectors market one day for sure. I guess that means there's 1257 members on the RedBull F1 team? Seems like a lot, so guessing perhaps extras were made? Now wondering about the significance of the number 1257. Hmmm.
In this answer to a fb group member, this RBR employee says that Max kept the first 50 watches for his family and friends, so probably RBR team has less than 1257 members… but he doesn’t explain the meaning of the number 1257. Maybe leading laps in 2023?
“Gifted by Max” that infers he paid for them, I wonder if he did.
Unlikely that he did, although my understanding of the word “Gifted” is that you’ve given something to someone, not necessarily anything you paid money for.
If TAG gave them 1257 watches, no wonder they need to put the prices up. That's what £1.5m at retail! 😲
