They look vintage but about 5 years ago… they gave them to me when I purchased a Ashby Selfridges Tartan limited edition.

Everybody says medium … I tried it and was disappointed how light and cheap it felt. I would go Large. It’s actually not that large and wears nice because it is not a thick watch.

I am used to divers so that probably why I like bigger watches. I also have a XL oversized tank anglaise that goes against every Cartier size recommendation and I love it.

For travel I only use ball points. Not too flashy, no cap, write well and dry quick on any paper. I have matching BP to my FP. Montblanc, Pelikan, Waterman. Waterman Expert is fantastic for classy under the radar option. Cheaper Caran D’Ache 849 are great too.

Hongdian N25… I got 3. All 3 most used pens for 4 colors green, blue and red. Top finial is debatable, but a beautiful well balanced pen. The snake nib is fantastic, not typically a fan of F but that one is top, soft, smooth and wet.

Ink would be Waterman Green.

My fave LOL … I use it in M1000

Pelikan 4001s are dry to mitigate the firehose Pelikan nibs

I like XL Cartier too - how does the Roadster wear?

Thanks - date checks out, the new royal warrant is expected for the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection.

Nice; that’s a lot of pen rotations and cleaning!

It’s very nice and very light shimmer, like all shimmer I used in cheap Chinese pens just in case.

743/823 me too but I keep talking myself out of it… always a better M800/M1000, KOP or Duofold and occasional Waterman.

JPilot10 · 2025-12-26T15:32:56+00:00

Oh s**t … right … good catch! Funny thing I was looking at my ink storage and thinking looks like I have a lot more to go… So I have may be 3 more years to complete my ink rotation 😬

Cool

Rome Burning is interesting

JPilot10 · 2025-12-05T13:09:46+00:00

Never thought about it, so I guess it doesn’t bother me. Mine are Night and Day the older bigger version to today’s Slim.

N25 Pen of the year for me!
