i have so far a small collection but i am very addicted to fountain pens

Hi! Nice stuff! Thanks for the tour!

The ST Dupont & the Omega (#6 from the bottom) look like a WONDERFUL match!!

 

I think it's time to start matching watches with pens...

Hi,

 

You have a beautiful collection of pens and watches.

 

As you can tell from my screen name, I collect watches, too, and am just starting to collect pens.

 

Here's my latest watch acquisition. Now, I guess I'll have to find a pen to complement it.

Ok,so i don't have a great watch collection. But at least i can show off what i do have. I currently have 10 watches.Of these 10,2 are Citizen Eco-drive models,a Luminox Field officers watch,a Seiko diver,two Elgins from the 50's,a Citizen from the 80's and these three.Nothing high end but at least they tell the time decently

 

And certainly nothing to compare with the fine watches from FPN members.

 

Here are a few of mine:

 

A Hamilton GMT with Omas Paragon HT:

An Omega Seamaster with Omas Roma:

And a Citizen Elegance (looks like the spitting image of a Patek Philippe) with an Omas Arco Brown celluloid:

You may all laugh now :lol:

Maybe next time though,this post should be put in Chatter.To me thats it's appropriate place.

I obviously need to get some photos of my pens and watches. I have a Rolex 50th Anniversary Submariner (with the green bezel), a Citizen Eco-Drive, 2 Seiko diver's watches and a Seiko automatic from 1975. Most of my pens are not of the same caliber as my watches. I've got a Parker, an Estie (that needs a little work), a Hero and a pair of Watermans. I'm going to have to think how to coordinate them with the watches.

Nice collection. Always nice to see another Panerai.

And, btw, beautiful pictures.

Hi Jim,

 

There is nothing wrong with your watch collection at all. You have an eclectic, competent, stylish, and functional collection. Each of your watches has a unique look and purpose. Very, very nice.

 

And your Omas pen collection is to die for. Your Omas' are simply some of the most elegantly beautiful pens in the world today!

 

Kind regards,

I always wanted a titanium pen to go with my titanium Citizen's watch.
