What Color Twsbi Eco Do You Have?

[Seiyen]

I've been eyeing on the TWSBI Eco as my first TWSBI pen, heck, my first fountain pen. I've found the look of demonstrators cool as you can see the ink sloshing around in there and easily see how much ink you have left. The TWSBI Eco also holds a lot of ink and is inexpensive. The thing is, I'm having a hard time choosing what color to get, they all look great, so I'm trying to get some input from you guys. What color do you have and why did you choose it?

I have one black, one lime, two white, and two clear. I don't have a problem at all...

I bought a black and a white when they were first released - both looked good, but I probably preferred the "understated" look of the black. More recently I added a clear to my collection, and definitely prefer it to the others: the transparency of the cap and piston makes them look less "blocky". That's a personal opinion, though - others may feel differently!

Good choice with the TWSBI ECO as your first fountain pen. I have the clear and like it a lot.

I have one white one, one black one and two clear ones. I like all of them. But I think I'll get a few more in the future as my kids seem to like them too ;-)

I have a black one, my wife has the lime green.

Just the clear...it looks and performs great.

The clear caps do start to show ink staining fairly quickly- which you may or may not like- I prefer the coloured caps- one white two black one lime green.

I have one white and one clear, like them both.

I think the clear one looks the most harmonious. No matter what you get though it is a great pen!

[ac12]

I got the white first. At the time, the only choice was black or white.

As soon as the clear came out, I got it. Then I could see everything. Isn't that the point of a clear pen?

I have a white in F but I like the clear one. Was not available when I got White. Now I feel its better to get clear 580 than clear ECO.

I have a clear one because aesthetically, i find it well balanced with the clear body.

I have a white one and my wife a clear one. We like them both. I believe you'll enjoy yours no matter the color (or absence) of the cap/piston knob.

If you can't make up your mind you could always go for this one.....

Or this one:

 

 

Although, unless these are offered elsewhere, they are both out of stock. Not to mention they are roughly $100-$130 more than the typical Eco.

I only have a white one with the 1.1 stub. I think the off white is absolutely brilliant, understated, and I dare say elegant. It's like an old Rolls meeting a Lexus sports coupe. I would suggest the white, but all are very nice.

 

I happen to like the green very much, but I would caution that as a demonstrator pen, not all inks will look as pretty sloshing about in the barrel. Purple, red, orange, and some others would make for some very appealing combinations.

Yes, I was being tongue-in-cheek. As 'shop specials' these were made-to-order, hence the price.

Oh, I figured you were. I actually just saw those pens yesterday, so the timing itself was amusing. I've been fancying myself some hard to find Japan exclusives recently, hence my browsing that page. Japan really is a paradise for that sort of thing. Or, if your budget is a constraint, perhaps a hell?
