My Race Day Watch

Hi fellas,

It’s Race Weekend … baby!

People asked me what is the watch that’s on my banner and avatar, plus the weasel @GingerBubba was begging to know more about this timepiece, so I am proudly bringing you this review;

The TW Steel VR46 Yamaha Valentino Rossi Watch

I bought this watch 3 ½ years ago when it was first released. The one watch that I wear on every MotoGP race weekend to support my beloved racer, the great Valentino Rossi (second only to King Rainey). In 2014, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP has announced a new partnership between TW Steel, Yamaha Factory Racing and VR|46 bring the fan this timepiece.

Valentino Rossi only made one mistake. 

 

Yamaha's are for pussies :)

 

At least it doesn't actually say Yamaha on it, so that's a plus :)

Oh ... Shit ... My first race bike was a Yamaha TZ250 :daffy:

Didn't know that I was a pussy ?!?

I actually like Honda better than Yamaha ... but Rossi still King.

Yes sir, Honda rules the roost. 

I'm just busting your balls. But Yamaha is my two-wheeled GM :)

And also yes, there will never be another Rossi.

"The Kentucky Kid" ... God bless his soul.

Bringing the MotoGP World Championship back for America in 2006.

I'm wondering why Tissot did it in blue ... that wasn't his color !?! .... Should have been red white and blue.

That is red, white and blue, the blue bias would be my pick  - they did various combinations, plus the Ducati one.

Think him and Colin brought extra fun to the paddock.

I admire you for wearing that, but I gotta say....

Lewis Hamilton is the one Formula 1 driver I've ever hated. With a passion. Can't stand the arrogant little punk. 

 

I'm sticking with Ferrari.

Yeah, this blue one is more my speed, too. I like this one, and I may have to source one somewhere, somehow.

That is a fecking monstrosity! Awful, awful watch. Horrid!

On the plus side, Rossi is a legend, I'm with you on that point. A friend of the forum too - 'cos he's the goat! My dog is even named after him - true story! Love a bit of Rossi. The battles with Gibernau, amongst others, were sublime. Jerez for example. Boom!

Although he's not the same guy he was - I think the Marco Simoncelli thing fucked him up too much - but to me he'll always be the best.

PS. Shit watch.

Now THAT is nice. One of these days I'll get one of those, too.  I like the black face with the blue and orange stripes version.
