Twsbi Diamond Aluminum

A small ad. I just put m pencil up on eBay.

Second Row x 1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I find the clear body with coloured innards more original/interesting than coloured plastic (and as a bonus you can see the colour of the ink clearly).

 

I'll take the whole second row... with stub nibs

[Senate1123]

Anything really. But I'm partial the to green.

[bwahaw]

second row, definitely. if the barrel is tinted it somewhat defeats the point of nicely colored insides.

[Malcy]

This line with that anodised alu doesn't really excite me but that's just my opinion.

 

I would be very interested in opaque black - preferably with some sort of an ink window.

 

Oh yes, and a B nib please...................

[cubic archon]

The upper, full colour, ones, for me, definitely.

 

I am sceptical of aluminium grips, like other people, but I'm prepared to give them a try. Could it have a coloured soft plastic sheath, maybe? That would be nicer for fingers.

[watch_art]

As far as the grips go, just think of a lamy al star. that feels good. Sure the grip is plastic, but the barrel and cap feel good, don't they? i'd use it with the aluminum grip.

[Jimmy James]

A lot of aluminum products have a grippy feeling (I'm thinking Maglite), but I have also felt slippery aluminum. As long as Speedy is aware of the issue, I am guessing this will work out fine.

 

I'm actually very excited about this pen after having gotten my last two (red and blue) 530s today. They have me thinking about selling virtually all my other pens and getting a horde of these for my use.

I like the clear pens in the 2nd row in this order: 1) red, 2) grey, 3) blue

I much prefer the non tinted types. Mainly because they would look excellent filled with ink. The red and the blue ones would allow me to make my "pen of the damned" and "pen of the light" set.

[cocojj]

I like both sets , but if I have to choose, I'd probably go with the lower set, with the clear barrels. I only like particular colors of the top set, but I can go with almost any color on the lower set. Thus, I'd be more tempted to collect all colors of the lower set than the upper set (not that I can afford to :embarrassed_smile:). But between the same colors from each set that I do like, it's certainty a tough call!

I like the second set with the clear barrels and colored grip/piston!

[drgoretex]

Speedy, I have to say, that second row of non tinted pens with anodized grip and piston is BEAUTIFUL! With the nontinted barrel, I will still be able to see the colour of the ink, but the pen is 'funned-up' a notch from the 530. I would most certainly but the blue and the green in that row.

I have to ask (knowing full well the dangers of the following question)...

 

Is there a timeline on the 550?

[Jimmy James]

I think we know the Bock nibs and more nib choices come next for the 530, after the current batch of pens on eBay are sold out apparently. I would guess that it will at the bare minimum be after that, but it looks to me like they have a lot of the work done on these. I would speculate these look closer to being in production than the vacuum filler.

[alexmaturo]

Definitely the second row!And it would be jnice to have the choice of different color pistons, or even to have the pen offered with the complete set of pistons.

Ciao form Italy

I actually prefer the second row of pens more. And I like the colours in this order: purple, blue, green, red, clear/grey, orange.

 

Heck, I'd like one of each, with different nibs fitted into each one Will stubs or italics ever be available?

[speedy]

Wow, we got almost tight score on row 1 and row 2 now.

Let me see the actual pen after my return to Taipei next week.
