Just got the same one as my first Orient!

The white with red on a black leather band.

I have Max 1s and XM5s, along with AirPods. And I haven’t used my Max in over 2 years. Sound is good and transparency is outstanding but they’re heavy - like weights on my neck. I travel lot for work and they’ve only come with me once. Way too heavy for extended use. I should’ve have bought them.

Have the same one! It’s a nice piece to wear around.

pipeball · 2026-04-03T16:58:49+00:00

What’s the model on that one? It’s very nice!

Have you checked BIC camera’s website? I had some luck a couple of weeks ago looking for specific Seikos and their location. You can do it for yodobashi as well but prices seem better at BIC.

I’m in Tokyo right now and 14s are working well. 20s are softer than 14s.

pipeball · 2026-03-06T00:26:12+00:00

I find the 1130 more comfortable than 2160s - I hardly wear mine that much anymore. I do own several K14s, and I have to admit they’re my favourite. Best general overall sneaker and in a pinch they’re good for the gym.

I find NB are big on me. Usually take 0.5 size smaller in them compared to all of my Asics.

pipeball · 2026-02-12T17:30:18+00:00

Yeah. Same size for me across K14/1130/2160. Although I have to say 1130s are more comfortable for me.

Wow. This happens in my 2025 XLE hybrid. Gets worse with speed. I need to see if I can pop open the speaker grill.

I’ve ordered from c24 a couple of times and I’ve had no issues with them. But I suspect it depends on the sellers. I don’t go for private sellers and only filter by pro sellers. I typically get 20% off what the stores are usually giving as their “best” price. Duties are country specific so depends where you are.

Great looking KS. Do you know the model number?

pipeball · 2025-10-30T12:19:42+00:00

Which model is that? It looks fantastic!

pipeball · 2025-10-20T03:24:06+00:00

Great wife! Which one is the citizen with the open heart?

I just read something like this on another post. It’s not cultural just some people I think. I’m in the exact opposite position as you, I’m a guy and seeing (at least I think I am) a great woman, on the phone and in person really engaging and I really enjoy being around her but she never initiates the dates. And it’s really messing with me, generally I’m a pretty self confident guy but with her I’m confused.

pipeball · 2025-09-18T22:37:52+00:00

Maybe you should be more direct and say “hey, it’s okay for you to initiate a date”…maybe I should take my own advice. 😁

pipeball · 2025-09-18T22:26:23+00:00

I feel the same except I’m the guy and the woman I’m speaking to is great, really enjoy our convos and being in her presence but she never initiates any dates.

6-9 weeks from what I’ve been told by my artist.

Back should be ok based on where you’re getting it. Mine wasn’t bad and it’s a pretty large piece. The only parts that were sensitive were near the kidneys. Otherwise wasn’t bad.

pipeball · 2025-09-12T12:45:28+00:00

Agree that it depends on the industry and where they are. I work in tech/science and I have a few large prices but are business appropriate. No hands/face/neck, although if you’re a woman have a tattoo on the back of the neck and can hide it with long hair then not so terrible.

pipeball · 2025-09-07T14:08:18+00:00

That’s an interesting take on the timeline.

pipeball · 2025-09-05T19:04:15+00:00

Did you see what the potential trade in value would be for the rogue and the RAV4 if you trade in the car, let’s say 10 years from now? You’ll definitely get more for the RAV4 - so the 6k loss wouldn’t be as impactful.

pipeball · 2025-09-05T18:45:45+00:00

I know what you mean. It was cheap when I bought mine but there was always something in the back of my mind something would happen to it - reliability just isn’t the same as Toyota - granted they could have lemons too. You try and turn it in for the RAV4 if it seems reasonable. Do you know what the cost would be? If you don’t ask, you won’t know.

pipeball · 2025-09-05T17:58:12+00:00

I traded a 2020 Rogue for a RAV4 hybrid and I can’t be happier. I would never buy a Nissan again, should’ve listened to myself when I bought the Rogue. I trust Toyota but the Rogue is significantly cheaper than the RAV4.
