Man you guys must do alot of writing haha.
I once had a el cheapo rm1 pen which lasted me like 3 yrs.

Kelvin,
I like the Urushi applied pen you have.
Have yet to see one of those Chopard watches with Urushi dial though.

It's not just about the looks. Fountain pens do write better.

Not sure about PJ, but I would recommend that you send it to the "Pen doctor" at KS Gills, located at Jln Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

i know this one cannot compare with all the giant names here but how many started with Hero as your first fountain pen....?

I did, and still have fond memories of it...

those days, some of my class mates use their pocket money to buy latest toys...one day i spent it on a Hero pen....brought to school....with a noble intention of wanting to look academic and hopefully attract girls...

But it seems girls will always prefer bad boys.... :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

The Hero 100 is one of my favourite fountain pens and is still on of the best hommage to the legendary Parker 51.
And I remember having bought one of the lower end Hero pens for only RM5.00 around 3 years ago. Fantastic value for money.

I am more a fountain pen collector then watch collector. Dont have enough fund to collect watches. In fact, at one time, i didnt even wear a watch for almost 9 years until i bought a cheap military style watch from ebay that last me almost 2 years. And it cost only rm30 plus delivery. For my 35th bday, my girlfriend bought me a seiko chronograph that cost almost rm800 (my first expensive watch). :)

I found that fountain pen collecting can also be very expensive. Had my eye on a 146 montblanc, a vintage waterman as well as a vintage 19th century montblanc eye dropper. However, as i am planning for my wedding, that has to wait. Yeah, namiki can be very expensive but i dont think it is to my taste. I rather prefer european nib. Japanese nib normally is on the finer side (japanese medium nib is equivalent to european fine nib and so on so forth).

Btw, if you are interested in some good cheap pen, i would advise trying noodlers pen like noodlers ahab. You can pretty much use any vintage nib with that pen and it originally comes with a flex steel nib. Planning to get one soon. This one i can afford despite the needs to save for the wedding. Usd20 not incl delivery. Future wife said ok to buy... Hahahaha

Wish there is a separate malaysian forum focusing on fountain pens... Love to chat with like-minded collectors.

Cheers.

There are some of us who are serious pen collectors. I am just a casual pen collector who loves watches as much as pens. :)
