ain't it though? One thing abt rep pens that's totally unbeatable in the world of watches ......:
if it doesn't write nicely, get a $2 refill and all is well
Australia has only one serious pen maker (thousands of hobbyists) - Curtis Pens Australia. no surprise that the majority of his commissions are for US customers.
I will attach a pic of one of their pens
... Here ya go - they cost from around $300 - $4000 for something truly one-off .... I didn't see the value in them until I held one - these things are art (except they're useful
) No surprise that the guy was a jewellery maker and silversmith for 40 years!
