along with watches I also seem to collect pens, apart from Mont Blanc I have a number of Rotring which I feel are similar to B&O, technically proven with great design.

Any others with a pen habit ? we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

Me! Mark. I love a good pen. Diablo de Cartier Double C All Over Ballpoint. It's a beautiful writing instrument. I also love hotel pens - some are really comfortable to write with.

I picked the Cartier because of how it felt in my hand and a bonus it goes well with my watch :-) I picked it up over a faber castell octogon shaped petit pen in silver.

Decided to treat myself to my first decent watch and currently favourite on my list is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 39mm stainless steel with blue face 40th anniversary limited edition.  Any thoughts from the watch connoisseurs as to whether or not this is a sensible choice?

Thepuma, it is a great choice. Classy design, top quality and finishing, comfortable. The only alternative to Royal Oak is Patek Philippe 5711

Here's my everyday watch.

Its a Rolex Explorer 2 - and apparently is a Steve McQueen special, whatever that is and worth a bit to a collector - certainly more than my late father in law paid for it🙂

 

Looks a bit gold in the pic but its stainless steel (must be reflections of something else I guess)

Lovely.

Quite sought after, and prices at around 10-20K depending on what mark and condition.
