A novice try... My, I belive, pre-war Tissot with nylonstrap. And one of the rare ASKA. fine nib. Elegance and simplicity... to my liking. :)

This thread is all stunning. These are Pen World ready pictures if you couple them with short stories IMHO.

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I just started collecting FP's (two years ago) and I have chosen to focus on just one brand.

My preferred supplier (no affiliation just a very happy customer):

Such lovely combinations! I have only one inexpensive watch and it in no way pairs well with any pens! :embarrassed_smile: This thread makes me want a nice vintage watch... I might have to start looking now.

Four of my favourite 'things'.....

 

Macbook Pro

Omega SeaMaster Professional - automatic

Pelikan M805. EF nib

MB 146 Platinum. EF nib.

 

All are used daily - I never take the watch off, the two pens I carry around with at work all day, and the MBP is my day to day workhorse. Also have a Macbook Air, but that doesn't get as much use.

I have that same Bond Blue Omega. It really is a great watch. It's just very light compared to my Breitling.

very good pictures esp the Lange and RO, such nice watches and the snowcaps lurking in the background adds a nice touch!

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing

      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
