you know, the one about pens and watches...
just picked this back up from the jeweler, I've owned it since 1989. Received it as a graduation gift from my grandmother. I remember thinking that $150 for a pen was insane. (they're currently just under $500). But nana said every businessman needs a good pen to sign contracts.
It's pre-serial numbers. I went to put it in my shirt pocket a few months ago and missed, dropping it to the floor and watched a piece of resin fly across the room.
Repair was $135 from Mont Blanc
