In London at breakfast with a Moleskine, MB 146 Traveler, and a 16710 Coke.

Please try other journals rather than Moleskin. I mean, I am a huge Moleskin fan and appreciate their history but Clairfontaine paper, for instance, is just soooo much better.

Watching the clock at work with the President on a Hirsch London strap for the winter. Writing with the Visconti Millionaire today. One of my favorite pens lately. Been using Rhodia paper at work for a while now.

Can't find anyone to take a picture of me and haven't found a way to show the watch (left wrist), pen (right hand), journal (desk) and my face in a selfie so you'll have to take my word for it.

Watch: SD4K
Pen: Visconti Opera Cherry Blossom
Journal: Moleskin (trying to rush through it to the Rhodia that's on deck)

I am resurrecting this thread.

Most of you have a face. All of you likely have a Rolex or other nice timepiece and all of you should have a lovely writing instrument!

Let us see the combination!

Hello Mr. Bisquit!

It’s been a a while. I hope all is well with the surgery. That was years ago but just the same! Here I am with my Omas titanium Paragon playing the grease monkey working on my Viper in the garage. Took a break and thought I should post. Cheers Sir!

PS you’ll be pleased. Just put in for my first Yard-O-Led yesterday! A Victorian Grand with a broad nib! Needless to say, I’m foaming at the mouth to get that pen. Also put in for a Faber Castell Macassar oblique broad nib. Will post more once they arrive.

Lifted from the internet but a good pic of the pen. I’m relentlessly excited! Have to wait until Wednesday for it to come in though.

The surgery went fine! And thanks!

Nice shot and lovely toys! You should love the YOL I have 5 of them. All good ones! And the Faber Castells are superb!

The 2009 was a very overlooked model. I still have mine.

Hello
Mr. Bisquetlips-

I am sorry that members are hesitant to show their face on a public forum.
I think that it has to do with preserving and protecting one's privacy in this day and age.

And some of us have neither a face that doesn't break a camera or a Rolex.

No big deal.

P226R, P229, P320. Sold my West German 228, and 226 to a close friend. Never liked the rolled slides, prefer the milled.
