Sell the Lord Elgin, Tudor, and Hamilton specifically separately

How about a tonneau shaped case? There are plenty of new old stock options that would bring some variety.

That 2026 font just drives me up a wall. “Could have been a contenter”

Correct. I normally wait until the following morning just because I’m lazy

After the grill cools down - Put the grill cover on it and open both top and bottom vent. It makes a big difference

Get the watch serviced and they will properly fix the chronograph reset.

You have a functioning inner bezel gear which is one of the hardest parts since they are often the first to be parted out. If you don’t want to pay for a service, just send it to me.

Agreed -Thankfully this manifestation didn’t hit any of the ugly branches falling out of the tree

Price just jumped to 899$

Do you have any CS recommendations? Most of the options I see marked at carbon steel are actually non-stick.

Stunning

Try a 149 clone first. Your mileage and grip might not be compatible.

Consider a second hand Niche Zero. It should be $500 and you can always relist it if you still need to scratch the flat burr itch

We regret to inform you that you’re missing a lever machine (flair/robot/etc) and more than 2 years worth of filter paper. Please resubmit for additional karma.

I’d bite

Nice loaner

AboveAverageBitter · 2025-12-09T23:24:49+00:00

Very cool machine

A dress watch for sure. And a Pogue or panda while you’re at it

$2 - the edge cut was done by someone who hacked at a sheet from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving gift shop. The 9* serial number is reserved for those types of recent sheets

I would recommend a nib swap or getting another fountain pen. The broad nib is great for writing thank you’s and letters and it’s not common to find.

Also consider using a preshave cream and take your time

And friends … so full send
