graman 2 Posted November 16, 2010 oh...and I thought the competition rules stated that we had to pair our watch(es), etc with the Cigar pen prize, but that we could post pix of our lovelies too, but not required. If someone didn't already have a Graman pen, they could just pair their watch with the prize pen. Please clarify this Graman. I am certain you didn't intend to require entrants to already have one of your great pens to be able to enter. Hey there Aren, This is correct. The competition specifies that you must pair your favourite watch (or most appropriate one) to either of the Cigar pens in Post #1 in this thread, with a commentary on why they work. Entrants to not.........repeat....do not have to already have a graman pen.....but they DO have to be VIP's by the time I decide on a winner. Come on everyone! not long to go!

Aren 27 Posted November 16, 2010 Bump... Hope I didn't get you into any trouble when I spilled the beans about Vegas. I am sure they won't find the videos Graman. We just broke the online record for members online, so I thought I would bump this thread...it is a great competition for a wonderful pen and time is running out. well, the members here will never know that you are, in fact, drop dead gorgeous because you keep this avatar. Mrs. Graman probably objects to you posting a real picture of yourself. I understand completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,463 Posted November 17, 2010 It has to be the Omega Planet Ocean Quantum of Solace and the Graman Cigar Pen - if it's good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for me . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightlight 0 Posted November 17, 2010 There is only one manufacturer that would match with a Graman pen, think class, great design, beauty and innovation, and that is of course Rolex. The only question is which Rolex. I have come to the conclusion it should be the original 'Pussy Galore' GMT to match my Eucalyptus Burl Baron fountain pen or indeed any Graman Cigar pen. The vintage vibe, the pleasures of yesteryear, a match made in heaven! Pams are a better match with Bic.................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted November 17, 2010 Thought I'd better put in a valid entry unlike my other one! I'll pair this pen.. With this watch: Hublot Tempest Big Bang Ceramic Reason for pairing: Black bean and Black ceramic. Relatively lighter wood with stealth dark watch- imo these opposites attract. Also chanelled the ebony and ivory theme. Thats it- off to recharge my creative juices again. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted November 17, 2010 Great submissions by everyone. I don't know how you will decide Graman. What I do know is that I need to learn to Photoshop... ooooh...imagine what my pen feedback could look like then? (Scary, eh?) Hey Brightlight...you stole my new fountain pen...now give it back. Graman...you are just like every other man... you told me I was the only one. Now I see BL has my pen...What did he have to do to get his??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graman 2 Posted November 18, 2010 This has been very difficult, with such talent jostling for one of 2 pens, so I have decided that both pens shall be awarded to 2 entrants, due to their entries. Winner #1 - of the Burl Eucalypt cigar pen is....................................Akira! I love the Penari! Excellent parody, and combination of wood! Winner #2 - of the Figured blackbean cigar pen is.............................Andygt for the Graman Catweazlefighter with Blackbean.....handling my wood!.... Ok Now for the honourable mentions. Ladies First - Aren, who has mastered her camera, and has a beautifully composed photo with some lovely calligraphy! Congratulations! Vegas has to stay in Vegas! Brightlight had lovely taste....great pairing of timber with the loveliest Rolex GMT-master I've ever seen. Rolf has a talent for pairing pens and watches, and his photography is simply lovely! He also has many pens to choose from! Alistair's old photos are brilliant...I wish I had some paper for him but nicely paired with the coolabah and Rolex! Del....Daniel Craig and blackbean! Brilliant! Loketje did a lovely blackbean and pam pairing, and first cab off the rank! ScottM....love the pairing of the PVD QOS chrono with black palm!...style you have! Deja, Love the pam....serious strap! You guys have tickled me no end! Thank you for a great 2nd year, and a great birthday celebration! Best, Graman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
