So, I just got the Sailor Sapporo in Spring White LE from Melpens (no affiliation) and it is gorgeous, writes like a champ, and I had to show it off! At first, I didn't like the gold trim and preferred the rhodium, but after using it for a day or two, I really think the gold trim was a good choice by the folks at Sailor. The white is a creamy color and the gold color furniture really brings it out.
The MF nib is great too. From now on, I'm going to get MF nibs from Sailor.
EDIT - forgot the dancing bunnies.

Congrats!! I have a same pen, and I agree that gold trim goes better with the ivory color! Thanks for your nice photos, too!

I have the pink one, with rhodium trim and the wonderful M-F nib, and I had the girls at the clinic actually swoon over it

The Ivory is really lovely - congratulations!
I don't think it would have looked half as good with a matching section - the black section is just perfect, IMO.
A very classy pen!

I have the Ivory ProGear with the Rhodium trim (I'm a silver trim fan). I have been thrilled with the high end look of that Ivory resin. It is classy in any setting. This is the white pen a guy or gal can take into a business meeting with confidence.

Your new pen is gorgeous, and thanks so much for the great pictures! Much appreciated since varied views of the Sapporo and especially the Pro Gear in the newer colors can be hard to come by. Very, very tempting indeed . . .
