Thank you. I see some similarities between fountain pens and watches. They are both elegantly complex as they are simple.

I also collect pens, but I never thought of matching them with my watch dial and bezel

If you really want to match it. My suggestion would be Montblanc Writers Edition "George Shaw"

Anyone know of a good Pelikan dealer to deal with on line? No retailers in my area that I know of.

Hey everyone. I like the idea of matching the watch-pen. With Father's Day coming up... give me a few ideas.

What Mont Blanc pen would pair well with a Rolex BLNR?

Thanks, guys.

The Hulk with probably the most versatile of pens, the Montblanc Solitaire in White (Midsize).
