  1. Have the same watch!! Also with the white detail. Love it!!
  2. Building a collection!!! Cool!!
  3. That paint scheme is.........SEXY as hell...... Nah, not Porsche - will go nicely with a blue URUS
  4. I feel a bit for GvA. He tried his level best to get away on one of the climbs yesterday. Lasted for only a few seconds. A few years back he was much, much stronger relative to the avg guy in the bunch. Now he is the avg guy in the bunch. MANY, MANY riders much stronger than him.
  5. The view from the top of the climb just before you drop towards Weltevede is amazing in the late afternoon!! At the BLACK SHEEP sign post.
  6. Weltevrede road just outside Prince Albert. Magical...
  7. Priceless!! Well done on a stunning converrsion. Tissot makes a range of beautiful pocket watches, but I can't find a practical way to carry/wear it, a jean pant pocket seems so wrong. So sad since the design of a pocket watch absolutely appeals to me!!
  8. Trying to win an Oscar in front of the TV cameras....
  9. Don't know the area at all. But most medium end watch shops stocks Tissot, so they should be able to help. I take mine to a high end shop in Bedfordview (Shermer) that only stock Tag and up, no Tissot. They are extremely helpful to send it to Tissot.
  10. I'm not a skilled as you are!!! So I only change the battery on my Polar - all other watches I leave to the watchmakers I think a service is a good idea - they normally change out all the fine o-rings, seals, etc, etc to make sure it is water proof.
  11. I have a small Tissot collection.... I would suggest to get it changed at a shop that stocks Tissot. Some (cheaper) shops does not know how to close the back properly. Higher end shops will send it to Tissot JHB to get the battery replaced and then you also get a "mini service". It will set you back about R700. Which is quite expensive for a battery. The upside to this option is that they return the watch in a little Tissot watch case, which is very nice and handy!!
  12. VDP, did the same to Stuyven after the finish line. Classy!!
  13. Although we've seen a fatigued MVDP blow up ala the UK Worlds... But, we are witnessing an era of cycling talent that we haven't seen in a loooong time. Super super, super exciting!!
  14. Nah, although I love Wout, his temperament, and the way he is developing into a great allrounder, he had his win last year . MVDP for the win!!!!!
  15. CH 206, still there!!
  16. DSTv stepped up... MSR live from 10h30-18h30...
  17. I see DSTv has ditched this too. Up to last year, they were quite good covering most races and certainly all the single day races. F.......K
  18. In parallel to all this - we are going to see another clash of the TITANS at Flanders and Roubaix.
  19. Wonder what Nino is thinking now? MVDP's attack in Siena is the exact same attack he used on Nino I think 2 year's back in a WC race - VDP won of course. VDP is now 2 years stronger.... and Nino.... I can't wait for the WC events.
  20. Funny, when I switched to RAI 430, they had a game show on?
  21. Sealant works perfectly for those "slow punctures" Saved me a ton of money in tubes over the years.
  22. Giant also had some great options in this size, but became very scarce last year.
  23. Ideally you need to core to be removeable. I've successfully added sealant into road tubes with a non removable core.
  24. Where do I find the details to this? Does it run off data?
  25. Jy kan dit weer se, seriously???
