For finishing 2nd at Indy Team Lotus picked up $44,200 of which Jim's share would have been quite good. But he also won the FIA World Championship that year and that's what the watch's inscription celebrates (with about half the prize income over the whole year!). I suspect it's a gift purchased and engraved new.

Having been an area organiser for the Team Lotus supporters club (when they really were Lotus unlike today I might be able to get these questions relayed to Dick Scammell.
