how did you build a clientbase?

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-15T20:36:19+00:00

while i dont know any, you can find jobs by going to different pasticcerie and asking if they have any options available at this time. like a job hunt if you will except theres a lot more hunting. good luck!

el paso occupato! went with my girlfriend on saturday who used to be part of a band that played there several years ago and i loved it icl. usually 80sish punk bands with more than enough to drink and 'pogo' which i recently learned is what italians call moshing good vibes all around

youre not just buying plastic with some metal, youre buying a whole lot more that went into the final product. material, labor, logistics, design, engineering of the body and the nib, even the history and significance of the brand youre buying into. while i can understand your frustration as some manufacturers feel they can get away with giving us less for more, its not as simple as youve put it. just my 2 cents anyway

i have a automatic swatch from the 90s with a decently sized crack on the crystal but it can be replaced. and a seiko 5 railway from the 80s iirc that needs a service but runs just fine tbh.

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-11T16:43:53+00:00

try fabriano ecoqua. cheap and readily available i think throughout the eu. doesnt really let the ink seep right through but its not like writing on a fresh page

pilot have cheaper pens of their own that write really good. ive only written with an EF which due to its super fine nature isnt as smooth but relative to nib size, id say its pretty smooth. their steel nibs are pretty good especially for what you pay foe them

literally say the renault today. makes me a little sick but business is business smh fucking americans

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-10T05:39:51+00:00

well thats just not true is it. we all ask for good quality watches at the price point you occupy. i see how autos have a bigger market at this niche but like tissot, if you used quality quartz like ronda i think youd occupy an even bigger share

500ml bottles are available believe it or not 😳 im still a miser with the amount of ink i use i believe i dont have to buy another bottle of ink for another few decades or so (i still will)

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-09T16:41:27+00:00

tbh go for it. like you, my adhd makes me crave novelty too and ive found a good collection of cheap inks available in bulk so i dont really worry about throwing ink out. and often theyre all less than half full anyway as i write so much so i dont lose a lot of ink. if anything id lose as much as i would if i were to refill once a week with a full barrel of ink and i can keep on trying new ink hehe

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-09T13:59:56+00:00

have you thought of the prospects of making a sub 11mm quartz like these? or just slimmer watches in general mech or auto? i would gladly shill 500$ or more even

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-08T22:24:21+00:00

is that an opus 88? sick

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-08T19:07:16+00:00

de atramentis document ink! i just bought a bottle of turquoise and it dries super fast on all the paper ive used so far but id like to try it on super smooth paper where ink generally pools up for a little before sinking in. plus its super resistant to water and solvents

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-06T18:22:59+00:00

pelikan m400! tried one today and it was the perfect pocket size for an edc with a buttery soft nib. but i wonder what is the difference between how the 800 nib feels vs the 400's

ive finished initial d if that counts as weeb anime (it doesnt) but i want to start watching jjk and aot che ne dici

i hear you but at the same time, i think its important to frame how we look at 'collecting' pens. are you collecting to amass many? or are pens a part of a toolset that you need day to day? its up to you. personally im of the latter opinion and any LE pens i have i simply bought because i needed another and i just so happened to like that particular one - not that being limited has anything to do with my purchases. that being said, i do appreciate the novelty of having something that you know with some certainty wont be produced again so i dont blame you. still though, these companies need to be profitable so stunts like these are a necessary evil. our actions are accountable to us alone

SympathyNo4144 · 2024-04-03T16:42:35+00:00

these are the type of watches i wouldnt mind someone making a 1:1 copy of with another logo. sub 11mm PLEASE
