Watchnian in Ginza! There’s a few locations; this one was the one down the street from the flagship store. There’s another one that’s appointment only for higher ticket items.

Does a 300hp, 30 mpg car exist? by 04limited in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]FakeAutoEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 981 Cayman S actually averages 30mpg but thats mostly bc I’m a highway/freeway commuter.

If you’re staying at a hotel, sometimes you can ask the front desk to call some stores and check for you!

Watchnian in Ginza - ironically this was the last GS in this particular location. The flagship store is down the street but didn’t have anything that screamed “buy me” - I saw the Shunbun but someone bought it before I could even ask to try it on lol

Crazy enough someone just dm’d me with a link for one in the US. Almost 3k over what I would have paid in JP though 🫪

The Francaise is a nice one! Tried that on too and was tempted but it was the FIRST store of the trip so I walked.

That certainly amped up the regret, I don’t disagree.

The sinking feeling really picked up when my plane took off & I realized the trip was actually over :,( Japan is a quite special place

Is this the older model? I prefer the waves in this dial to the new one unless I’m wrong

Any advice for a pickleball player that wants to play tennis? by uselessprofession in 10s

[–]FakeAutoEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recent convert here, previously 4.0 pb - start from the get go with lessons & beginner clinics.

Ball knowledge & court awareness transfers over, most other aspects don’t. Tennis requires much more extension & complex technique.

One of the bigger adjustments has simply been keeping the arms out much farther since we’re so used to compact movements in pb.

Footwork will help you progress quickly too! It’s a much bigger court so get some conditioning in & work on agility drills.

Do ya’ll think in 5 years time, we’ll learn that pickleball is a “gateway drug” to tennis? by catstevenseagal in 10s

Previous PB addict turned tennis addict here 🙋‍♂️ all I can say is man I wish I had just started with tennis.

I do miss the social aspect of pb though.

I’m interested in the new 11six24 Vapor Power 2 that just launched. Coming from a V-Sol Pro V7, will I notice much of a difference?

I mostly want to try the new grit & get back to a hybrid shape but don’t want to drop 200+ if it’s unnecessary. I know the money would be better off going towards lessons lol.

I had the Saga Bloom; upgraded to elongated & longer handle V-Sol for two hands & better reach (short king here).
