In fact, it's already been commented on when I was filling out some feedback at my daughter's school open day. The headmaster approved!

Thanks, I do enjoy my watches. The Speedmaster is a very nice part of my collection:

Congratulations!

Considering I also have both the blue M800 and Speedmaster, I'd say you have great taste. I may be biased, though. :D

Beautiful pen. I really like the blue striped pattern. I know nothing about watches though. Enjoy the pen!

Beautiful pen! The M800 is at the top of my list of pens to acquire... however, a watch like that is still a few years down the road. Wow! very nice.

Thanks, I'm afraid my pen collection comes second to my watch habit...

My new M800 with a fine nib. Very pleased so far...

This is a sign! I've been looking for a Pelikan M800 for a while. I too have an Omega Speedmaster Prof. I need to get one now.

Actually <yesterday> my new Red Tortoise 101 arrived (fine nib) from a very well-known personage out west, from whom I have previously bought another Pelikan. It is gorgeous and there <is> a tad of give in the nib, so although it is a (semi-) "nail" by Bo Bo's standards, there <is> some line variation available; but, by gosh, it is very smooth -- perhaps the smoothest fresh nib I have ever purchased? Thank you, Rick!

OK, Gordon, you impatient thing, you! :)

 

There looks like there is a scratch on the cap of the jade 101; but it is not so -- it is simply a mark in the celluloid. So there you have my three "specials"...take no notice of dust specks -- there are some on the pens.

 

I'm sorry that I am not much of a photographer of pens: the lighting is far-from-adequate, I know.

Wow! That is a fantastic trio of pens. Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations.

 

 

OrangeSport. Congratulations on your new and beautiful M800.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
