Hello,

 

I wonder if there is a real difference between the M620 Berlin, from the Cities Series, and the M600 Green O' Green Special Edition.

I have ordered the Green O Green, and it hasn't arrived yet. I have an opportunity to get the Berlin one as well, but if it's too similar to the GOG, I don't really think its necessary.

 

What are your thought / info on that?

 

Many thanks!

Amit.

The difference is in the positioning and size of the black and green spots in the structure of resin.

My M 620 Berlin.

Cap top of Berlin is black, but Green o green is a metalic gold.

On the other hand, you might want to consider the newer 600 "Vibrant Green". Its color is quite different than either the GOG or Berlin.

 

Incidentally, if you decide not to buy the Berlin FP, I would be interested in it.

Thank you for this very helpful comparison :thumbup:

 

I had been toying withe idea of a VG 600, but it looks as if it will be too vibrant for me.

The vibrant green is not available in Israel, as Pelikan switched their distributer, and the new one brings close to nothing interesting. My retailer couldn't tell me if what he had in stock was the Berlin or the Stockholm (he is color blind), but the pictures are quite confusing: in the ones Konis posted, they look very much the same, but in Doug1426's there is a clear distinction!

 

I guess I'll wait until the GOG arrives (hopefully today), and go compare the two myself, and perhaps it's the Stockholm, and I won't have any dilema whatsoever :-)

 

All the very very best!

Amit.

Well, as it turns out, it was the Stockholm, and not the Berlin.

So now I'm the proud owner of: Green O Green, Marine Blue and M620 Stockholm.

and that is besides my "normal" blue M605, and the Everest that is on its way.

Do I sense a problem here?

The Stockholm is a beautiful color, that mix of grays and blues; you lucked out. Enjoy.

 

A problem? Oh yeah, you're on the precipice of that slippery slope. Enjoy the ride there's only a few dozen more to acquire and then you can seek treatment (buying even more Pelikans).

Isn't the GoG and the Vibrant green made of acrylic, with the City Series acetate?

 

In addition to the different look (acetate is closer to classic celluloid, a little less plasticky and sparkly), acrylic is long-term more stable than the acetate. Acetate over time (long time) can sweat and degrade though it is more stable than celluloid.

You do not have a problem, just think of how much rest your liver is getting....meaning more years to buy Pelikans.

You could be wasting that money on Single malt with only an empty bottle to show for it.

Some years ago I had the opportunity to buy a M620 Berlin and I didn't. :wallbash:

Now I haven't seen this for a long time, and I presume the price will be much higher then it was.

      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
