What Watches do you wear with your MBs?

[adyf]

Rolex Oyster Datejust with copper dial. Wear it daily, it's not pen brand specific.

[BillZ]

Rolex Stainless Oyster that I got for my Birthday in 1976! I was 31. Got the MD for my BD in 2007. I was 62. Every 31 years I get something cool.

Vintage pen, vintage watch - nothing later than about 1970.

 

Like this 1956 Omega.

Well for my days at the ambulance I wear either an Omega Planet Ocean, a Breitling or my Rado.

For work at dispatch or just at home and formal stuff I wear either my Omega James Bond Limited Edition or my Omega Hour Vision.

At the ambulance I don't carry any fountainpens but at dispatch I do carry and use them.

This afternoon I got my first MB, a 146 and I am wearing this watch, a Seiko Sumo :

Umm, does my cellphone count? I have a Bulova but I never wear it since it is gold. I drool over a PP pocket watch but it is waay out of my league.

Rolex Datejust, silver dial, roman markers. I think it works well w/ mb plt 146, my Faulkner, and my Fitz. I love this watch!

[Bisquitlips]

This one! Goes perfectly!

Rolex Datejust, white dial,stainless steel and Roman numerals - had that well before the#146.

When dressed formally (ie for dinner) I often wear my 1970's Omega Constellation in rose gold.

The Rolex is my preferred every day wear but I recently purchased a #144 RLT automatic which goes well with a Nato strap.

This watch is of English construction and with a Swiss movement-not at all bad at the price.

I posted earlier about my Fortis Cosmonaut Diver. Here it is along with my Rolex Explorer II. Both were gifts after I returned from combat deployments. Now I defer additional watches and buy pens. I mean, shoot, I can carry a bunch of pens, but can only wear one watch a day! I wear the Fortis more for all the time wear, and the Explorer gets worn on the few light/office days.

This thread is the exact reason I will never purchase a Mont Blanc pen. Thank you.

OK what do you mean? Is it because MB people also loves watches? or we actually match our pens with watch like people match their shirt with their pants?

My favorite...with Pelikan or MB

[henrico]

My everyday pen is a Tissot like goodguy's. Nothing special otherwise except for the black digital Columbia I wear for sports.

Right on! More MB's for us!

We are having some fun. There are many similar "what watch and pen" and/or more trivial messages in Writer's Instruments, Chatter, and quite frankly, some of the other "Big 4" forums. (If you aren't one of us, you are a ...) The OP kept this one in-house because of judgmental people like you.

 

If you haven't used a sampling of MB fountain pens, or use MB from a variety of decades of quality pen production, don't post here, but please put your opinion in another venue where the mainstream is more accepting. I'm thinking your experience with MBs is absolutely nil, and you are showing that inexperience and your enormous culpability to be swayed by [unfortunately] popular opinion.

 

Oh, by the way, your personal statement states you want to collect MBs from the 1940-1960s era. I guess you need to revise that, huh?
