Two "deal" pens, one I bought. None that I use.

And the watch I wear every day.

Thanks John. You have an admirable collection there. I lose pens so fast, I always just go with half a dozen $3 Japanese ballpoints in my bag for work trips, and still prefer a paper pad to an iphone for making notes.

Oh I HATE taking notes on an electronic device. I carry a pen and paper with me everywhere! And thank you for the compliment good sir!

Can anyone recommend a good MB fountain pen? Have a friend getting married and the wife and I are thinking of getting her a MB fountain pen, but don't know much about them.

If you want brand then go Montblanc, if you want brand and a great pen, buy Montblanc limited editions(yes the quality really is, in most cases, that much better.) If you want a great writer and a really nice pen but a touch more obscure, I suggest you talk to Bisquitlips (Richard) over in the pens and writing instruments section of the forum. I like my Delta, Visconti, and most of all my Yard-O-Led pens but he has some of everything and can really point you in the right direction.

Yep, nice pen but I don't care for the Kennedys so I haven't been able to bring myself to get one.

This would be a great option too and a really nice pen from a great company that no longer exists (they died last year.)
