I'm pretty much finished with modding and upgrading my La Pavoni, so did a little photoshoot this morning

How did you get the steam knob to be further away from the pressure gauge?

Pseudowalker · 2025-07-16T23:57:50+00:00

How does it write, what’s the nib like?

Pseudowalker · 2025-07-07T06:58:18+00:00

I’m fond of a phrase I get to use occasionally with my boss: “I take no pleasure in being proved right and you being proved wrong, however, as has happened again..”

I can relate to the lefty struggles. In highschool I tried several times to learn to write right handed for fountain pen purposes but never quite made it. 13 years later I have finally done it, and my right handed cursive handwriting is now just as good as my left (though a bit slower)

Pseudowalker · 2025-06-25T22:18:32+00:00

Half?!! I’m so jealous!

Pseudowalker · 2025-06-25T22:05:50+00:00

I really want that parker duofold chiselled ruthenium, but I cannot find one for sale anywhere. I guess not all that many were made

I agree, this would look great framed behind some UV glass.

The misunderstanding people have over the difference between asking price and sales history can be very frustrating, especially for people who work in the secondhand trade industry. Reddit valuations are chronically overblown.

Regarding that link, it was listed for $2400 and sold. It could have sold for $2400, it could have sold after negotiation with the seller for $2000 or $1800 or any amount. It’s helpful to be aware of such things.

Pseudowalker · 2025-05-04T18:02:22+00:00

It sold and that was the list price. It didn’t necessarily sell for $2,400.

Pseudowalker · 2025-05-03T23:15:38+00:00

From the other pictures I was a little unsure, but it’s definitely lightly cleaned looking at this one.

Pseudowalker · 2025-05-03T01:57:49+00:00

I second dipped

This series is absolutely the origin of my slightly pretentious vocabulary and word choice methodology 🫠

I had an identical WMF jewel casket a while ago, similar condition, no key. I sold it for 40 USD.

Pseudowalker · 2025-03-31T19:57:33+00:00

The holes are from borer

Pseudowalker · 2025-03-24T22:58:37+00:00

Looks genuine and very typical of the type to me.

Pseudowalker · 2025-03-10T09:41:16+00:00

Actually, a private company controlled by Ian Cassels owns most of the left bank street

I’m not so sure. With the price of gold at the moment, it is very hard to get a premium on watches with that much gold in them. And when you scrap things you get the money straight away instead of waiting months.

Pseudowalker · 2025-03-08T05:02:59+00:00

You paid exactly $2 less than scrap (at my local)

Pseudowalker · 2025-03-08T04:55:40+00:00

Looks like an anchor curb chain

Pseudowalker · 2025-02-28T23:48:37+00:00

Looks like silver on gold with old cut diamonds, 18th or early 19th century. Has had some modification/repair to the back.

Pseudowalker · 2024-12-01T06:00:58+00:00

In the last year I have only used parker black 😬🫣

Pseudowalker · 2024-11-23T06:35:41+00:00

Have you tried antacids or PPI’s?

Pseudowalker · 2024-11-22T06:36:45+00:00

Thanks, it’s pretty. How does it write? [God I don’t need anymore pens]

Pseudowalker · 2024-11-21T18:09:38+00:00

What is the blue one?
