I wondered if any of you guys is trying to get this shiny fellow:
eBay item #330239307263



Lovely, in my opinion, but I'm still not a "hardcore" enough collector to buy something like this...
But in like... 3 months time? who knows? I really like this kind of design.

PS.
I know that it seems it looks better than it performs (see this topic), but it appeals to me nevertheless.

That is a beautiful pen.

If you liked this, I am sure you would like the Yard O Led pens too.

Have a look.

Oh my... Oh my... Oh my...

If this were a B nib, I'd be all over it.

You know, there's a lot to be said for retipping... Just sayin' :-). Best,

This is the kind of pen I can enjoy looking at, especially in person. But I do not like all metal pens. I would be very uncomfortable using this pen, or one like it. So I would never be a competitor in bidding for this pen.

oooh. very shiny. me like shiny.

Pretty, but probably darn heavy in the hand. Box candy, really.

Waaaayyyyy beyond my budget but nice looking pen. I am more the celluloid/resin pen type so I am in the same boat as FranB.

It makes the pens I've bought recently look like bargains! (Suddenly I feel better. .)

Didn't know this thread is about my pen... until I clicked on the link.

Glad you guys liked the pen. Thepen is actually NOT heavy since it is on the skinny side.

Oh man! I was following this auction, was tempted to bid... all the way down to 4 seconds left... I don't know how I restrained myself.

Oh right... I want to take that cross-country road trip later this year and I just bought the Visconti Metropolis... and apparently the Nakaya Piccolo I ordered two months ago just shipped...!

Still... I was so tempted. I was relieved when the auction was over.

Worth every cent..........congratulations to whoever got it.

Hi,

OK, I will go against the general flow here, I really don't like this type of pen (including YOLs for that matter), but a good thing we all like different things.

Never been mad keen on metal sections either (I will avoid where possible), so I would happily spend this sort of money on other pens and leave this type to those that I know will appreciate them.

No offence intended just how I feel about this type of pen.
