Does anyone know which filling system will it be? Piston fill, Vacuum fill, C/C, etc?
The metal version of TWSBI Diamond has been discussed internally for some times. We intend to create an internal piston filling mechanism so we can wear different materials outside.
The first thought is to wear a metal body (like Iron Man? hahaha!)

This design is quite difficult to realize for mass production; mainly on two color barrel molding, If by metal it is even more difficult.So we went back to the drawing board, come out the new filling mechanism then we can put a cloth outside it. This cloth can be plastic, metal, and many possible materials, and first pen by this mechanism is IROC 850Speedy I love your new design - no need to copy diamonds of the 540 -- your new design is an immediate sellout hit - I don't need another pen to look like the 530, 540 and roc 100 I already have - great work and can't wait to see it available for purchaseWhat happened to this design?

i am looking a this again and do not like the metal thread section, metal vs metal threads may cause corrosion for prolonged use.

Looks great, but one question which keeps me from fully enjoying the 530/540:
Are you going to make it so it can be used and balanced properly when POSTED?
I don't want to buy another pen that doesn't allow use (& balanced properly) when posted.

This must be an uber-top secret issue. Quiet as a church mouse.

OK, not to be pushy, but I won't likely be buying one either if it doesn't post...Looks great, but one question which keeps me from fully enjoying the 530/540:
