Jerry I prefer fine nibs and have found that straight out  of the box 
DuPonts have, in general,  the smoothest F nibs of all the makes - mainly 
European - I've used.  I include in this group modern Pelikan, Waterman and 
Mont Blanc pens. Japanese F nibs from Sailor and Platinum are reputed to be 
among the best around, but I've not got around to trying either brand.

The styling of IWC watches has never appealed to me. I like the look of old 
60s & 70's Constellations, Dynamics and Seamasters.  Nevertheless, I am 
delighted to see that you appreciate the virtues of  ETA movements :-).
