Nice! Yeah I have all his Bloks on the CNS paratrooper strap. They take a thrashing better than the stock strap if your kiddoYetti is as active as mine.
MamaAnalogExplorer also wears a Blok on nato

Cheers 🤙🏼
Yes. Maybe he will by dad watches when he is rich and famous 😂

lol. That’s our well loved 1970s Smith Corona Galaxie 12. A staple in my office 😋
He’ll get a job at Sterling Cooper for sure!

If the Internet ever goes down, typewriters are going to be worth a fortune.
I’m also a typewriter collector. Luckily, space limits me to 4-5.

Rock on! What typewriters do you have in the collection? 😋

1938 Royale Aristocrat that was actually NOS when I got it. Smith Corona Sterling from 1965. 1964 Olivetti Lettara 32 that I actually use the most. 1920’s Underwood that looks mint but needs some work. My wife has an Olivetti-Underwood Studio I got her that she uses on craft stuff because the font is very bold and prettt.
Very cool! I got my baby boy a Blok as well.

Right on! How’s the lume on it?
That is the one feature my kiddo (and I ) wish it had was some kind of lume on the 33. I think I even mentioned it back when I had Neil on the podcast.

I got my Lettera I superb shape for cheap. The “hype” (if you call a 60 year old typewriter hyped) is real. It’s a wonderful thing to type on. The action my SCM is slightly better but the key travel on the Olivetti is more to my liking.
That’s awesome. I really dig the Olivetti 👌🏼
Great, so…anyone here knows whether getting my 1.5 years old son a Seiko 5 is too soon?

Nope not at all too soon. Might start them on quartz first. Toddlers are the ultimate watch shock testers 😋

Yeah I might buy him a quartz. Papa don’t raise no watch snob, that’s why 🎩🧐

CNS Paratroopers are the comfiest for the price!

He already is working on penmanship block and cursive. Fountain pen down the road when he is less messy 😂
Well done kid 👍
Love Blok!!!!
