I include in this group modern Pelikan, Waterman and Mont Blanc pens. Japanese F nibs from Sailor and Platinum are reputed to be among the best around, but I've not got around to trying either brand. The styling of IWC watches has never appealed to me. I like the look of old 60s & 70's Constellations, Dynamics and Seamasters. Nevertheless, I am delighted to see that you appreciate the virtues of ETA movements :-). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Lehrer" <glehrer@san.rr.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, 05 April, 2007 8:36 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Cross fountain pens: was To relieve the worrying of afew... > No, AHLal, we go for Mont Blanc pens and IWC watches > > Jerry > > > Ken Firestone wrote: >> On 4/5/07, A.
