Even better, 24hr run on 2/2/92 it was won by Nismo with R91CP piloted by Hasemi/Hoshino/Suzuki.
Three watches presented for the drivers each year or are there more?
& wondering why "1992" is so popular vs every other available year  |
The winners of each class as well as the car owners and crew chiefs would get a watch. I think back then there were 4 classes racing. Each team had 2-3 drivers. So in each years race, maybe 16 watches total or less would be presented.
Most likely the 92 watch was copied at some point and not knowing its significance, the fakers just kept running with it.
