Eons ago I put a scan of poor photographic quality of a pen and watch of mine in this thread. There were some requests for a better photo of the watch (an old pocket watch with pierced silver champleve dial). I had to beg off because I had no better way to picture the watch. Well, I finally got a digital camera (Canon SD1400 IS point and shoot that I'm just learning to operate), so here 'tis. After despairing of finding this old thread, I found it pinned to the top of the index (I posted a new thread, which I'll try to delete). :headsmack: This pic is not so hot, a hand held quickie with poor lighting and composition, and I'm disappointed with the resolution, given the supposed 14 megapixel frame size (original), but it's way better than previous. So, without further ado (if the Photobucket enforced shrinkage is sufficient not to blow up the FPN server) ...

Nice watch! Is it keywind? Is it for the blind too?

It's the real deal, a silver pocket watch by Richard Colton of London, c.1705. It's missing its outer pair case and has a couple other condition problems, but the pierced silver dial is on of the finest around, IMO.

Dear HSW,

 

Looks like you have a really impressive FP and watch-collection.

(looks like a Daytona gold-steel?)

 

Thanks you so much for sharing.

 

Kind regards,

Thanks KJY; yes, that's my steel and gold Daytona of about 15 years (before I realized that all steel was more desirable)

Strange isn't it? I really like this brand too and also watch that market. Steel-models are more expensive than the gold-steel versions second hand. Or at least there is a lot depreciation of gold(-steel)models in comparison where the steelmodels (talking about sportcategory) are only getting a higher value.

The most you can ask of a watch is that it holds its value, my gold/steel Daytona has at least done that, so she's a keeper. The pens in the bundle, though, have mostly appreciated in value.....very interesting.

      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
