Actually, I do remember what I just bought from a 22 year old gentleman in Budapest: A Black Esterbrook Dollar. So, about 2 weeks ship time.
Awesome!
Took a leap of faith on a Moore 94-A tonight, a pen from the early 1940's that has some very interesting features. Waiting now...

I'm waiting on an old Japanese eyedropper-filler, a Platinum sterling from the 70s, and an interesting Pilot Custom from the 70s. Fun!
Swan Leverless Pen L-206/60 BCHR and a Swan 200 Eyedropper Filler BHR
First one to arrive is a Moore pen with a "Maniflex" nib. These have been just at the edge of my radar for a while, and it popped up at the right time. Not a blingy pen, but of historical interest to me:

Next one I'm really excited about, and I saw it just as shown. Had to buy all the stuff, but will still be very worth it. Bonus to anyone who can identify the pen:

Kicking into patience mode (whilst having officially put my bank account into budget lock down), as I am now awaiting a custom Edison/Hakumin desk pen. With luck, it will arrive on or before my birthday this summer.

Just decided what I'm spending my birthday-money on: A Lamy Joy 1.1 stub, a TWSBI 580 with a F nib, and, since my brother gave me a bottle of Edelstein Amber I decided on a bottle of Private Reserve Sherwood Green and the Diamine Imperial Purple. Placed the order not 5 minutes ago and almost immediately received a reply from the store, thanking me for my order and that some articles are not in stock, so I will have to wait untill, best case scenario, the end of next week before I can tear the box apart! That was a bit of a bummer...props to the store for responding so fast though!

Jon, that's a nice Ink-vue...mark 1, right? Very cool!

Only the large Westclox is a pocket, all others are wrist watches. The black face is a Timex, so not sure it lands hard in the "like" category! These are just the auction photos, I'll let you know more when the package arrives.
Ding, we have a winner! I don't know the history well-enough, and I'll wait til I actually get the pen in hand to do more info-gathering. I wasn't *too* familiar with the Ink-Vues, but had seen enough in passing photos that the celluloid pattern and general pen caught my eye in that first photo. The next sealed it, with the split lever, and I jumped on the BIN:

I just pulled the trigger on a Edison Collier with a Binder xf/xxf duopoint full flex nib. Waiting. No Me Gusta.

That's delightful! Would you tell us something more about it (eg. year, maker, etc)?
