Re: Omega Watch & ?? Pen

In Response To: Omega Watch & ?? Pen ()

I normally use a gold plated Aurora ballpoint for work. I got it when I was thirteen for my Confirmation and it sat in its box for over twenty years because I couldn't get refills for it. On my more extravagant days, I use a Parker Duofold Fountain Pen with a broad nib because my handwriting needs all the help it can get.
I don't use my Fisher Space pen too often. I love the look of it (very 1960s), but I find that you have to press a little harder with this pen to get an even ink flow. Perhaps it's to do with the liquified rubber ink they use.
I carry a spare Perraz ballpoint in my bag for days when I forget to bring a pen with me. It's an anodised red, but again, the ink flow is (sorry, gang, I cannot think of any other phrase) nothing to write home about.
Lately, I've had my eye on a Pelikan M800 Souverain fountain pen. Looks great, but it costs a bomb.
And let's face it, watches are an expensive enough hobby as it is.
