My Nakaya Dorsal Fin v2 is the best writer for my work purposes - dry, smooth and never skips.
I ordered it direct from Nakaya in 2009, when they were all the rage on Fountain Pen Network. I think mine is the second one they made in the stone finish. The dorsal fin does not actually work very well to stop it rolling but I think they have since made the fin bigger so it should now work.
All the best,
Jon
good match with the
pen 🖊️ as well ! How do you like the enamel dial ? Mine (with a spiced up strap) says hi 👋 ...
That's what I think it is too.
What a super sophisticated fella we have on our forum! Not a lot of Nakaya pens out there!
Nakaya is one of the best Japanese maki-e/lacquer pen makers
I'm in the process of ordering a custom one. The waitlist is about a year. Not quite as long as our favorite watch waitlists.

That is a very very special finish!
That is so cool! I don't know anyone with the stone finish.
Congrats on both the WT and the Pen.
If I am not mistaken, it’s an Aka Tamenuri piccolo cigar without clip?
Always nice to see a Nakaya fountain pen in Urushi lacquer!
Those are fairly rare as well!
Indeed!
But knowing you like pens, I wanted to point out the pen - just in case you missed it.
Perfect combos 👌👌
I mean the combo strap - watch and the combo watch - pen If I don’t mistake I have the very same one (unfortunately only the pen, not the watch 😉🤷🏻♂️), I’ll check tomorrow…
