Picked up mine from another US retailer in May. Handsome pen. Haven't even inked it yet. Enjoying the pristine quality of it while I can.

Store correction should be Classic Fountain Pen.

I got one last month. It's a fantastic writer! No disappointment there.

Mine's due to arrive from Cult Pens in the next day or so... Can't wait!

got mine after reading haris review of the pen enjoying it.

Mine arrived on Thursday and it is amazing. The nib (I bought the medium) is perfect - smooth, wet and responsive, exactly what I've come to expect from Pilot, only better. The pen itself is beautiful - elegant and classy. I bought the burgundy one. I never post my pens but need to with this one and I'm glad it's easy, stable and balanced. *sighs loudly

silly I dont understand about not posting pocket pens if your familiar with Ohto their pens also need to be posted because of the pocket pen design

I hate to be a downer, but I really hated the 2 elites I had.

First was a 14L EF I got on eBay for $75, and it wrote a very washed out line, not sure why.

Second, PO nib 18k from eBay. Wrote nicely but... Not fine like a PO nib. Grrrr!!

 

Maybe it's because I'm left handed and the hooded nib is really not left hand friendly. That's probably why.

ahh the old elites huh I dunno... I havent held a vintage elite

I can use the Elite fine without posting.

Mine on the way from e-sell Japan on eBay. Way cheaper than Jetpens or Cult Pens.

I have a couple of older Elites, as well as the new ones. The quality varies, depending on where it was made. Those made in Japan are good, if a bit stiffer than the latest model. The ones made in Korea seem to be a lot more variable in quality.

 

The two Elite 95Ss that I own (both F nibs) are excellent, and have a similar feel to my Custom 74 SF, which I regard as the best nib I've used (and I include many far more expensive pens in that statement).
