I'm torn between buying a Visconti Salvator Dali regular Brown with gold trims ,Blue with Silver trims or Van Gogh Self Potrait. (by the way I have a Rembrandt Red FP ) The prices are close to each other so it's not an issue. Any suggestions ? post-80084-0-74611500-1413295408_thumb.pngpost-80084-0-72115300-1413295549.jpg

In person the Brown Dali is the prettiest of the three Dali's to me.

I don't know these pens personally but AFAIK these pens are technically the same.

 

It's just the theme.

 

I personally like the colours on the van Gogh, and that one would be more in line with your member-name.

I really like the Van Gogh pens better. The Dali ones look a bit too gaudy to me, but that is personal preference. I also like Van Gogh as an artist better than Dali. Which artist do you like better? That could help you decide.

I find the melted clock over the clip on the Dali pens to be... well... tacky. It's a shame, because the materials are beautiful! Were it not for the clip, I'd say "blue Dali" for sure.

 

Of the Van Gogh line, it's the new Pollard Willows that has me (and my wallet) intrigued. I have a Van Gogh Portrait Blue ballpoint, and mine is a bit less "electric" in real life than it appears in the pictures; more sky blue, but very much appears painted with flecks of cloud and colour.

You're right! It looks like the clip of the Dali pen has melted. The material is very pretty though.

I have a self portrait and it is a wonderful little pen. Visconti seems to have made great strides with their steel nibs lately.

I think that is the whole point of a Dali pen. :)

 

I have a blue Dali which is more silver & light blue than the original poster's photos which gives the pen an almost satin appearance rather than a shiny gloss & has one of the best steel nibs I've used.

 

The patterns & colouring of the VanGogh & Dali resins can vary considerably & dramatically between each individual pen so if you are purchasing any of them on-line it would be wise to ask for an image of the actual pen you are buying to reduce any disappointments (unless you like surprises).

Blue is more surreal; brown looks too classy.

Neither of them do it for me as a Dali fan. The clip needs to be replaced completely by a lobster.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
