I need a Black J that will look good with my patent leather dress slaps (flops).

I wear an 1883 Elgin (key-wind, key-set) regardless of which pens I carry. Sterling silver chain with a shepherd's-crook buttonhole attachment.

My trusty fossil. The best watch i've ever owned, I've never seen one that better captures my tastes.

I wear my 10 year old Armitron (a $30 Timex equivalent) with one spring bar pocket torn out and drilled through for a length of music wire, with a 25 year old stainless clasp band (the clasp on which is just about worn out). Sure wish I could afford something fancy -- maybe someday I can get my granddad's old railroad watch fixed...

I've got my Seiko quartz watch on (dunno what model, it's a dress watch). I would prefer a mechanical, but get tired of winding it every day. The copper Estie J would be the appropriate match for this.

I still wear a watch most of the time - a $10 Casio from Walmart! I'll probably keep wearing it, but with a cell phone in my pocket I feel sort of silly with it. Someday, I'll likely sell a Breitlling Navitimer and GMT Rolex that sit idle and neglected.

This duty occurs to my own mind, now that I am trevelling beyond the term of fifty-eight years, . . . I am now more free . . . . " Cellini

BC, that's a nicely done pic. The pen really seems to match the watch. Well done.

I have one watch, a Ladies Seiko 5. I wear it everyday, so no matter the pen that is its mate.

IMO, the Citizens Eco-Drive may be The Perfect watch.

 

Mine is the full titanium chronometer, never needs a battery or winding, accurate to 15 sec or less a month and you don't even have

to reset the calendar on leap years (perpetual calendar). Not to mention uber-robust.

      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..

      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

      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
