AllergyDoc Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Wore my Ralph Lauren grey suit with my YM Rolesium dial watch and a Montblanc Agatha Christy ball point pen to church today. If you know Montblanc's Writers Series pens, this was the 2nd to be released. The 1st was the Hemingway. I have that set, as well. They're worth at least $1,000 now. Well, if they're unused they're worth that. I've included one of my many colorful Jerry Garcia ties. I catch heat from members for the wild colors, but I like them. Life's too short to be boring! Here's a shot of the watch and Omas Galileo fountain pen. Made from a rod of solid celluloid. Limited edition. It needs servicing. Here is the watch next with a Le Grande ball point pen. Too bad I don't have the platinum model. A wristie: This watch was a surprise, sent to me by a member whom I thought was just sending an extra gen divers extension for my Sea Dweller. The box arrived with the tape cut open. I thought, "Oh no! Someone swiped the part!" Instead I find a lovely Milgauss. What a guy! (Ignore the fingerprints.)

Raijor Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 You sir are a man of great taste and a great talent for mixing the colors and patterns .... .... back when I used to wear a suit for business on a daily basis I enjoyed mixing it up with the conservative suit and wild tie.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Funny, I was just discussing colorful ties, Garcia's "The Bird" specifically, with Ryy the other night... one of my favorites... Love the Yachtie with that attire... nice ensemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yep, Yachtie is one of those watches that I learned to appreciate when I got one. I never liked it initially, but it's really dressy and pretty watch "in the flesh". Nice pics. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronology1066 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great combination, it is one of the nicest things about a suit, mix and match. I still love a plain suit with a Liberty tie and a Lewin shirt as a daily option. HTe hard part is to select the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Oooh, you are a pen collector? NICE. I have a Waterman Edson FP (blue barrel) and a Pelikan Souveran 800 rollerball, black barrel with silver trim. I love my pens. I also have 6 rep pens, they're not bad for the $ but the real deal is so much more satisfying. You have excellent taste in clothing and accessories too. Great to see someone dress up appropriately for church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, almost 15 years later, the only fountain pens that still write well are Parker and Montblanc. The Omas pens were mechanically poor and need a lot of maintenance. The Edson was the last FP I purchased, and will likely be the last. Now I'll get a roller ball over a FP. Thanks for the comments, guys.

rek001 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yes, the one on the left I have. It doesn't write well anymore? Mine writes very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I misspoke. Of my older FP's, the Parkers and MB's still write well. The Edson was purchased a year or so ago and writes perfectly. Great feeder system for the ink. I'm using it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
