Let's see your watch and fountain pen photos

[jamesh]

 

The number on the case is actually the serial number of the case while the one on the movement is for the watch. Your watch movement was only made it seems for two years. It is a 21 jewel 538 movement and was made in 1939.

That's really cool, thanks for the information.

What about some pen and ink video?

 

I've recently become a fountain pen and ink fan, and I had a little fun imagining what it would be like if my Noodler's Dragon's Napalm ink came to life:

 

 

To get the ink drop up close I used a 100 mm macro lens for some of the shots.

 

All of this is live action - no CG or animation is used.

 

I hope the purists don't object - some science tricks were used to add...unusual character to the ink for this clip.

Any vintage Zenith watch people on here ?

[farmdogfan]

I have got an old zenith pocketwatch, the only thing i know about it is that it was my grandfathers

 

 

and inside

 

 

 

And also the inside

 

 

 

The first pen is a Mb gs 142, the second a danish made MB 2 bandless and the last is a celluloid MB 146.

I can add that it keeps time nicely.

Very nice. That serial number puts it after about 1910 IIRC and before WWI. Is the case also branded Zenith?

[farmdogfan]

The inside of the cover that is seen in the third picture has zenith written on it.

Great. So it is not a recase or movement sold alone to a jewelry store.

[Harlequin]

Is Zenith considered a really good brand?

Yes. They were and are a well reputed maker of top quality watches.

Is the case Silver? The boxed 0800 and the mark below it, might be an 80% silver hallmark.
