Yeah, Rolex for watches, Montblanc for pens, blah blah blah - stereotype galore!

Rebel · 16 May 2011, 10:24 PM

I have and use both/every single day.

jamesbondOO7 · 16 May 2011, 10:34 PM

I don't really like them, but it is all I have.

2careless · 16 May 2011, 10:42 PM

All blacks!!!

Some of mine..

jamesbondOO7 · 16 May 2011, 10:43 PM

I see....I guess you like pens?

2careless · 16 May 2011, 10:46 PM

Yup. I only got 3 watches and over 100 pens

A good nib helps me write better

TopNotchChach · 17 May 2011, 02:01 AM

2careless,

nice! can you shed some info on two pens, starting from the right going left... the 1st and the 4th in your pic:

thanks! i really like the 4th

2careless · 17 May 2011, 07:21 AM

The rightmost one is a Lamy 2000 I got from www.pengallery.com, and the 4th right is a Pilot Vanishing Point Matte Black I got from www.richardspen.com.

The Lamy 2000 is a classic modern design that is simple and elegant, while the Vanishing Point is a most functional design for writing with fountain pens.

Note that there are a lot of other dealers who sell these pens, just that for the Lamy I found them cheapest in Pen Gallery and I got my VP grinded to a lovely stubbed italic by Richard without waiting for 8 weeks.

BTW, I cannot find the VP matte black in Pilot's Japanese catalog so this look like a special edition for the US market.

TopNotchChach · 17 May 2011, 07:36 AM

^ very cool! hope i didnt bug! I'm searching for them now.
hmmm...pre-bday gift!

Im really into rollerballs. I really like the design of that Pilot. wondering if they make one that is a rollerball.

TopNotchChach · 17 May 2011, 07:37 AM

Can someone recommend me a good store that might those two pens above, in los angeles

Shangas · 17 May 2011, 04:06 PM

I am a member of both sites...but I only own a montblanc.

Maybe I should get a Rolex...or leave here.

2careless · 17 May 2011, 04:54 PM

Just remember that when you wear a Rolex, there are always people saying "those Rolex wearers blah blah blah"...
I wear my watch with pride. Period.

swatty · 17 May 2011, 06:41 PM

Great thread Kai.

And you have a very very nice collection.

I have two MB's. I use one every day.

BarkMaster · 18 May 2011, 12:11 PM

I got myself a Mont Blanc to "mark" an occasion.

I think it goes rather well with my barked beauty.

blackmsport · 18 May 2011, 02:14 PM

The thread title should be

Rolex owners only use Mont Blac Pens, drive German cars mainly BMW and wear designers clothes

we have good taste

Should read "Rolex owners only use Montblanc pens, drive German cars, shoot Leica and wear designer clothes ...".

Then, I don't qualify

Check out Fountain Pen Hospital in New York...they sell over the internet and have an online catalogue!!!

As for MontBlanc pens they make a quality product but I do own fountain pens from companies such as Parker, Conklin, Platinum, Faber-Castell, Pilot and Sheaffer!!!

edbsbc78 · 25 May 2011, 11:24 AM

2careless, that is a great collection! I envy you.

Cheers

Wow! I have a few Rolex watches, keep a Jaguar in the garage and really enjoy the Waterman pens, among others laying on the desk. Different strokes, I guess.

isherlock · 27 June 2011, 07:57 AM

Montblanc is not the most expensive in the pen world, and neither is Rolex in the watch world. but they are the most recognizable due to extremely successful marketing and stellar quality. Those I know who use the "bundle" usually started off with just a rolex, then they thought hey, i wear a rolex now and i can't use the free plastic pens from my banker/insurance agent, so they start searching for a "high end pen" and most sources would direct to Montblanc. Just as if one started looking into the luxury watches, their first purchase is usually a rolex or an Omega. then as they read a lot more on watches opened their eyes in the world of Patek, AP, VC, etc... the very same for the pen world. I think the most important is to find the pen you write well with, then with the looks you fancy. Personally I find most montblancs are poorly balanced, best writing experience are Pelikan but I prefer heavier pens, so I use mostly St Dupont and Michel Perchin
