Let's see your watch and fountain pen photos

[GirchyGirchy]

It's a Swatch Body & Soul Automatic from the Irony collection. They may have had some other similar ones of that model with the same name, not sure. It was also sold with a black leather band, which I also have.

 

I think they quit making them a few years ago, so they're not on their website...I had to order mine from the Swatch store in Chicago last November.

Thank you GirchyGirchy! I'm going to see if I can find one on eBay then... I was looking for a Seiko SNA311 but I definately like this Swatch more!

[GirchyGirchy]

You're welcome! But I'd try that store in Chicago first...the woman was very helpful, and even took the correct amount of links out for me after telling her my wrist size. I paid $125 for the one with the steel bracelet, and I think the black leather band version is $115 or so.

 

I don't wear it too often - I work in a manufacturing plant so I never know what I'll be getting into on any given day. But so far it's been reliable and keeps time pretty well. I worried about being able to tell what time it was at first, but haven't had a problem with that.

 

Here's the back of it, BTW:

I'd love meeting this kind woman of yours in Chicago, but I live in France, I don't think that will be possible for me

 

125$ is really a good price for this watch!!

I asked her at the time how often they mail out watches, and she says they do it very often, even internationally. I didn't pick mine up in the store, I called and had her ship it to me. So there's still a chance!

18k YG Omega Deville handwound, and Montblanc 149

Here's one that I'm fond of. It's a Seiko SNL017 (maybe SNL015?) Sportura. I absolutely loved that watch, but then due to an accident in shipping back to have it refurb'd, it's somewhere in Watch Heaven. I ended up replacing it with several nice pieces (A Citizen Cal. 2100 and a very nice Bulova quartz), but I'd swap them out without question if I could have my Sportura back.

 

The Flame that is pictured is my workhorse, and it nearly perfectly matched the orange hands.

 

If any of you WIS-types ever run across one of these for a good price, please let me know. I'm looking for one.

Haven't had a chance to get creative with this one yet...don't know that I have a pen that will pair up nicely with it.

 

Guess I'd better get crackin' on that...

Whoa, nice stuff everyone! I bypassed this thread because I'm not much of a watch guy. 'Course I could just look at the pens ;-)

 

Here's a small contribution using some silvery stuff I have with me at the moment.

I'm playing with a new flash set-up, so please bear with me. Here's my new Seiko monster with a Signum Nova:

This is a great topic, but I can see that it is going to wind up costing me a fortune. My dad gave me a 1970's Omega that I'm having restored, as well as an old Bulova/Caravelle pocket watch that belonged to my grandfather.
