Can one make a bad construction with that watch/pen combination? I've just drooled all over my work clothes.....http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0030.gifhttp://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0030.gifhttp://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0030.gifhttp://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0030.gifhttp://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love0030.gif

Thanks David. Caught the watch bug thanks to my father in law. I have a small wrist, and prefer diameter under 40mm. I am surprised how thin this watch wear on my wrist. Like you, I also prefer clean looking dial. Life is busy and complicated enough, it is best to keep the watch simple looking :-)

Not fountain pens, but I hope you all will forgive me.

I don't own a FP yet ( :embarrassed_smile: ), but i'm looking for something that will go with my vintage Alpina, and my new Speedmaster.

Any suggestions guys?

Gorgeous Speedy! Copycat, how about a VP in either black lacquer or kasuri finish? It matches the metal and monochrome theme of the Speedy, plus it uses buttons also (like a chronograph).

HDoug, i'm actually looking for something in that colour theme (the one to the left), but the VP's are not spot on. I think a bit more classic looking FP is right for me.

Nice shot by the way.

      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

      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
