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!

They make a great pair!

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.

      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
