If you want to be seen in a car and don't have the money for a Ferrari...
try a Trabant... (bad exemple, my OM makes pictures as good or better than
the N*kon... not the traby...), if you want a "status" fontain pen, do not
buy a Mont-Blanc, but a Sheaffer Connoisseur (discontinued), Pelikan 1000
or
an OMAS or even a Monte-Grappa...
I know what you mean Stephan, ....understatement, right? ...as in *not
showing off* and wearing diamonds on the sole of your shoes, ... that kind
of thing ?
