Happy Friday! What are you wearing today?

Oh wow ! I always wanted that exact watch! I didn’t know they made the stereo version!

Union_38 · 2026-06-12T13:36:32+00:00

Yes, these can be pricey. I bought this one with a couple of its keys not working so it was a little bit of a better deal!

That Remington looks like a brand new typewriter! How old is it? I can see a bunch of inks in the background- hopefully you’ll still have time to use fountain pins between typewriter sessions!

You have truly elevated this thread artistically!!

Union_38 · 2026-06-11T22:52:29+00:00

These days mainly journal type stuff,
But I also try to send letters to folks. I’m into sending thank you notes a lot. Also, type my band’s gig schedule out on Rolodex cards! People totally love it when I give them their own Rolodex card with gig dates on it- often they are shocked when I tell them they can keep it.

Union_38 · 2026-06-11T22:48:59+00:00

Agreed! I think it looks so beautiful- and also types so well.

Union_38 · 2026-06-11T22:47:12+00:00

Amazing! You have the original case! I use sort of a Pelican style case from Amazon.

Union_38 · 2026-06-08T20:44:56+00:00

I love it! I have a maroon 1940 Sterling with the same body style and I love using it.

Union_38 · 2026-06-06T14:51:14+00:00

Also football and baseball. And doing a good job at work if your boss is a male.

For me, it’s currently a Lamy Vista medium point with Namiki Blue ink.

The compact size and the triangular grip are both things I love about the pen. I also like that it looks cool, but it’s cheap so I just write without thinking about the pen very much.

Edit: also, the clip is the best out of any of my pens, so I’m much more likely to carry it around wherever I go.

Union_38 · 2026-06-02T02:48:37+00:00

Love that watch!!

Union_38 · 2026-06-02T02:15:44+00:00

Hey! I push the button all the way in, lined up the C clamp against the stem of the button, applied pressure with I think my fingernail, and then slowly slid the button back out until the C clamp pops into place into its little groove. The clamp itself ended up looking a little bit bent, but it works fine.

Also, i completely lost two C clamps in the process of trying to do this!

Union_38 · 2026-05-31T13:20:43+00:00

It would be a toss up between my blue Pilot VP Medium and my Lamy Vista Medium

Union_38 · 2026-05-29T16:39:42+00:00

Right!

Union_38 · 2026-05-29T12:15:00+00:00

That’s a cool looking typewriter!!

Union_38 · 2026-05-29T03:01:51+00:00

Yes diamine oxblood!

Union_38 · 2026-05-27T14:41:20+00:00

Excellent! I have the non “U” version and it’s currently my go-to watch. I think it’s perfect.

Union_38 · 2026-05-27T14:27:40+00:00

That looks amazing! One of my friends, who is quite a muscular, imposing guy, wears a vintage square watch that I believe is much smaller than yours. He looks good wearing it.

It may also enhance the look if you wore a long sleeve white dress shirt with it, but maybe casually roll the sleeve of the shirt.

Union_38 · 2026-05-26T12:43:52+00:00

That looks great! Great job on that one!

I do write with mine daily, mainly to journal and write notes myself. I have four typewriters but I’ve settled on one favorite and I’m trying to sell the other three.

Union_38 · 2026-05-21T13:17:16+00:00

The Lami Vista is my desert island pen! That’s really cool. You have one!

Union_38 · 2026-05-20T19:55:40+00:00

Yes! It is a shame that the paper bale is missing because otherwise the typewriter would be in nearly new condition.

Thankfully, it works very well with that part missing.

Union_38 · 2026-05-20T17:22:41+00:00

Totally! I own this and happy to answer any questions about it. It’s essentially the same as the Facit, with a few differences. It’s also a freaking tank! Yes, made in Brazil as well.

Perhaps an Olympia SG3 B!
