panerai153 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I wonder if this is one made by our own Mikellum? He made a few of these, not sure if he sold any outside of our forum. I got a couple of them from him as gifts. Here are mine, very similar although none of mine have the hands attached to the dial. These were from several dials that I sent him a to use for his project. I don't think these pens are easy to make and require a lot of time. I'm not sure what his health status is now, but you might try contacting him to see if he has any left. He did have and Ebay store, but I haven't checked there in a while. Here are mine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 They are very nice, and the photos don't do them justice in the least!! They are well made, heavy and beautiful as well. Ands you are right, the lume is still there on some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Gents, for those that don't know him, Mikellem has been a long time member and makes amazing pens. If you're a collector I'm sure you'll appreciate his workmanship and the sales will help him a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has or had and Ebay store, I can't find it, thought I had it in my favorite sellers, but must not have kept it. If you or anyone else remembers the address, it would be nice to let all of our members have it. Not sure how often Mike checks in here, but if he does, maybe he could post a link. Also I know that he sold direct and gave members here a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhya Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 These are definitely collectors items. I would also like to have the contact details of Mikellem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 He is a member here, I believe that you can send him a PM. Not sure how much he visits the forum these days, but that's the only contact info I have for him. As I said above, he had an Ebay store buit I couldn't locate it yesterday. I thought I had it in my favorite sellers list, but I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks I might just try to contact him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Here is and update: Mike's Ebay store name is penzrus Unfortunately, there is nothing listed and there doesn't seem to have been any activity for a while. I do know that Mike was very ill and in the hospital for quite a long time. I believe the best way to get in touch with him would be by PM. Sorry I can't be of more help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rower Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Id be up for one of these as well. What did they used to run cost wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi guys, Sorry I have not spending any time here lately. My health is holding well at the moment. I am spending a lot of time getting properties I own sold so my kids do not have to handle the business end. I owned and managed my properties for over 30 years. I finally turned everything over to a management company due to my health. As far the the pens go.... I only made about 10 pcs. with Genuine Rolex Dials. Panerai153 sent me some dials so I gifted him a few pens. These pens are of the highest quality. The cost to make this pen with my labor is over $425. It takes about 25 hours of labor for each pen. I will NOT be making any more due to costs to high, too time consuming to make. If anyone is interested, please get with me. I actually was planning on not putting them up for sale because in 10 years I honestly think they will be worth $2500 usd. Nice checking in again..... Happy 2015 for all of us.. mikellem I do believe one day these will be very rare due the my dials are genuine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi Mike, Glad to see that you are feeling well. Haven't heard from you in a while. Now all the guys who are interested in pens can get their penfomation directly from you. Have a great week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero_Dave Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Mike, great to hear from you again. Very glad your still with us too. Guys I have to say, if you can get one of Mike's pens, DO IT. I was lucky enough to hook-up with Mike back in late 2013. I received my Gator Jawbone pen and I was amazed at the quality of it. Mike, I still use your pen, Everyday! Thank-you again for making such a wonderful writing instrument, but more like a true 'Work-of-Art' I'd love to get one your watch pens. It would be a treasured item to own. Take care Mike and stay in-touch! Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanystar Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Helloooo Mike M.!!!! How are you? I was looking at Andrew's FB page the other day and thought about you. I searched online and found the discussion about your health. I didn't see all the details, but saw that you went through a tough battle. Hope you're feeling better these days. Blake and I still live in the old neighborhood, around the corner from our old place. I see Gloria and Christine from time to time. My contact info. Is still the same. Take care, Joan Beautiful pens, by the way. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
