I think they can hardly claim Felipe's RM is not a sports watch.
Felipe is pretty much the only driver who wears a watch while racing, the others just put theirs on for the podium ceremonies.
Ok, it's not a stainless watch, it ain't a cheapo, but it delivers what it says on the box.
And our beloved Heuer's weren't exactly cheap giveaways in their time either (although still a VERY different level than where RM is at today...).

I only know about Sir Jackie for the Daytona.

: And Other Lessons From The Italian Grand Prix .

: The posting loses credibility with the statement that the Rolex
: Daytona was the most iconic racing watch of the 1960s. Tell me
: exactly how many of these Rolexes we saw on the wrists of the
: 1960s racers?

: Of course, based on our own observations and searches of photo
: databases, we know that the racers were wearing Heuers more than
: any other brand, including Rolex.
