Please, tell us names of those pens and watches. But I can see that left pen in the first photo is some Montblanc Starwalker.

An attempt to impose a historical context on some things I've accumulated simply because I like them. It starts to break down in the 1950s, which means I now have no alternative but to buy a Parker 51, Rolex etc etc ... :rolleyes:

The first picture is a MB Starwalker, Sensa Black & Gold FP and an Omega X-33. The second picture is a set of Dunhill AD2000's (RB & FP) and a Breitling Colt.

I've posted these before in their own thread, but they're appropriate here, so I'll toss 'em in. Bexley BX701 with my Timex special. Nikon FM2n with T-Max 400.

RichardS,

 

What can you tell me about the Waterman lever-filler fountain pen and the p/watch with the half-hunter case in that first photo of yours (in the quote) on this page? They look like such a beautiful set!

Thought I should contribute something...

Shangas, the Waterman is a '52' model in black hard rubber. This was one of Waterman's most successful pens ever, and there are still thousands around. There were a large number of variants, and this particular one has two 9ct gold bands. The nib is a fine semiflex, and one of the nicest writing pens in my collection.

 

The Waltham half-hunter is rolled gold - but nice and thick! - and dates from around the same period: 1910s - 20s. Waltham was an American watchmaking company, producing large quantities of good-quality everyday pocket (and wrist-) watches. They weren't, for the most part, in the same league as the Swiss makers, but excellent value and very robust. I think both objects represent a golden era of American manufacturing - producing products with real integrity for Everyman that had once only been the preserve of the privileged. It still keeps pretty good time!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
