Hi
I have 15 vintage pens for every modern pen - but have really been taken by some of the Bexley range - probably because they look vintage! Now that they are available in UK via The Writing Desk, seriously thinking of buying me a Bexley (Classic Range - mandarin, Orange or Antigque cream). Only seen these on web & am told one or two are still available. Would appreciate comments from anyone who has these - how they write, feel, stand up to use, length comparison to say M800 etc etc
Thanks in advance

I'm not one to give the details on a comparison, but you cannot go wrong with a Bexley Classic. I have them in several colors, but not the Antique Cream.

Buy an M800.

I had a submariner grande with stub nib that wrote like a dream. It was given to a good friend as a gift, and was sorry to let it go. The pen was a good size, lightweight and the nib was great!

I've never tried one, but I like the look of the Submariner Grande. The only thing that puts me off is that I don't care for metal sections.

Col: I am sure that Richard or the good folks at Bexley can get you a Submariner with a plastic section. I had one because I do not like metal sections either.

Hmm, interesting! Thank you for that.
