    Default $375 Sierra !!

    Was just flicking through the April issue of " International Watch " magazine.
    Towards the back was a full page advert. for handcrafted Sierra pens (standard gold and black), with 'watch parts' ( small gears and such), in resin for the blank.
    Came in a wooden box with a window.
    Yours for $375 USD. + p&h, or for an extra $75 they will make one out of your old watch.

    They looked very well made, but I had to do a double blink at the $$.
    Good luck to them if they can get that much.
    No website, just an email address and phone number.

    Someone on the IAP site was making the watch blanks. They did look good but not that much maybe on a nice high end fountain pen.
    Having said that there must be someone out there willing to pay and good luck to them and the pen maker
    Cheers Rum Pig

    Haven't seen the pen but my brother in law saw a knee specialist who had a fountain pen similar to what you are talking about and said it was valued at approx $1500.

    Whats wrong with these people

    Hey There,

    Sounds like a bit of a challenge there, how long before one of us can come up with something that far out in Left field???

    I have something in the wings should be ready in a couple of weeks.

    Some very nice pens there,
    I think the one at top right is possibly the one pictured in the advert I saw.
