Icon20 GMT 2 comment from Gentleman's Gazette

Hi fellow TRFers. Here is a snippet of review/comment from Gentleman's Gazette Top 100 watches. With regards to GMT 2 ( and using a photo of a BLNR ) Here is what they say: "There are some issues that make it inadvisable to wear in sports conditions..."

I asked for their feedback in to what exactly it is referring to as inadvisable and has not come back to me yet.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

On the Rugby pitch? Not safe - don't wear it. But unless they clarify that statement, I say they're full of crap.

They're proabably talking about the PCLs.

These scared and frightened people crack me up. What a sad way to live life, constantly afraid their very robust watch might get a scratch or something.

I just do not understand that mentality. Reminds me how, in the 1950's people would actually keep their living room furniture covered in clear plastic. The bubble-wrap mentality.

Probably wouldn't wear it running with the bulls in Pamploma unless I was very fast - which I'm not:-)
