pens or watches???
I've been collecting and repairing vintage pens and watches for several years, I am just wondering if anyone else here shares the same passion!

very nice. It's a fine writing instrument. It is what I use exclusively.

Yeah, MB's quality has dipped a little lately, but their vintage pens are phenomenal...
Dont get me wrong, they are still very nice, but the 30's through 50's were something else!!

I'm a watch guy myself! I have an early 80's Tag Heuer Professional that's beat to shit that I would love to see restored to it's full glory. There's something about that original design that led to their popularity that I just love. The MAcy's watch Dept. gave me an est. of $450 but I just don't know about them. Also have some older watches all the way back to the early 1900's. My Ollendorf (nothing too special but sentimental to me) needs a cleaning/tuneup again. Do you do that work? My guy who fixed them up here died! Seriously, the old man took forever but he was trustworthy and always fair priced. I also have an old CADET (???) that I'm not familiar with but I love the watch's look and would like to find someone to do the requisite work. I was told it has some super rare workings and it wasn't worth it for me to get it repaired but I'd still like to try! Any help appreciated. PM me!
