Agreed! The Goulets have it up in their 'Coming Soon' section and the pictures look awesome. This might be *the* Platinum I have to buy :)

Currently using:Too many pens inked to list, I must cut back! :) I can guarantee there are flighters, urushi, and/or Sheaffer Vac-fillers in the mix!!!

I already have the Bourgogne and love it. This would make a beautiful addition, since blue is my fave color :)

Another beautiful pen from Platinum. I especially like the new soft-fine nib. I guess that I'll have to get one when they come out. Thanks for the news.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

That looks like the pen to load with Baystate Blue! I will probably get one to go with my Bourgogne

model.

Have seen it in person, it is a very dark blue in which similar to a smoke TWSBI in terms of what you can see inside. But what nib sizes are available as I was offered EF, F, M & B wondering if there is a SF?

hi, here it is for those who are wondering

 

it looks darker than in the advertised pictures maybe because of backlighting. Overall, a very nice pen :P

Got one with an EF nib in the mail from the Goulet's.

 

You be in for a treat. The colour is nice. And keeps the ink wet to use.

The real treat is that the nibs and feed are interchangeable with Nakaya nibs.

I received mine today, rinsed and inked with some Asa-Gao and tried it. The EF nib is a little scratchy, but I expected that. Also the nib appears more silver than the one on my Bourgogne mode.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
