I love the red one!

A fantastic pen in a Demonstrator version! looks beautiful

Thanks for posting the link

The red one is stunning!

Many thanks for sharing those pictures! I was waiting to see them....

I like the red one the best as well :-)


Cheers

Holy moley! That's a stunner, and a demonstrator that I'd buy! (I'm not typically much for demonstrators, but that one is sweet!)

Me too! But I'm sure it's out of my price range for now. Is this something coming out or has been out and is no longer available? I can't read German. Thanks for the post; both pens are gorgeous.

Edit: I guess since this thread was titled Aurora News:, it's new. Very nice.

Hi,
the pens are a new limited edition for 2008.
The pens are live as beautiful as on the pictures. And I can't believe it: I should also buy the roller in red !

Dear FPN,

here you can get information and look the pics of the NEW AURORA OPTIMA DEMONSTRATOR!

Does anyone know what the retail prices on these will be? I seem to remember that the 88 Demo pen wasn't too expensive. Hopefully this one won't be too bad...

Vicary, Pam Braun has them for pre-order at reasonable prices. I'm getting the red one, can't wait.

I'd advise against getting the ones with precious stones, however, the stones are less than 1 carat. Ahem.

Sooooo pricey . My only wish is that they would have used an open feed instead of the standard Optima removable nib unit. I know the section will stay cleaner in the current configuration, however I love to see the ink work through the feed in demonstrators.

It's a beautiful demonstrator! But the price...$800 MSRP... geez... sorry, but WAY over the top.
Good thing, though, those will probably not sell out immediately due to the steep price. So we can think a bit if we really want to buy one.

I want a mini Optima demonstrator!! When oh when will one appear? My full size 88 and Optima are solid black, but I do collect (and love) the pretty little minis.
