Looks like we'll have a new color for Spring and I'll have less money in my pocket. fpn_1518635653__m600_turquoise.png

Oooh pretty!

why is appelboom charging +25 Eur for F nib....

 

Not amused with new Pelikan pricing moves...

Seems as soon as other selers announce it we’ll see the same surcharge for F.

I would not mind paying more for italic - but F?

This one I'd have to see in person. But in the photos it sure looks nice. Sigh. Yet, another pen I can't afford.

Anyone know if it's going to be the same weight as the White Transparent?

Isn't that likely? Not being snarky here, but isn't the difference between a 600 and 605 just the trim color? Edited by DasKaltblut

I would think so, Ruth. It is gorgeous. If you have the pink, here is it's mate!

Looks like US pricing is going to be on par with overseas vendors. Pelikan really seems to be embracing this style in the M6xx line. I like that the M6xx line is finally getting some love but would love to see something other than white. Still, I'll probably pick one up as I continue to regret not getting the Pink.

If you are comfortable ordering online from Europe, the pink one is still listed here (and so is Turmaline, which is said to match the pen nicely). I don't know if they do international shipping and I am not affiliated with them, but you can shoot them a message.

Haha. I order from overseas so much my mailman has to be suspicious. I will check it out. Thanks for the link.

No problem.

 

Ontopic now, I'll pass.

It's an expensive pen, easy to stain, with a metal ring in a wrong place (I can easily see that rusting after a few years) and not user-serviceable.

That turquoise is not bad though.

I fell in love with it as soon as I received an email alerting me to this new pen, it shot right to the top of my list 😅

 

I havent had an M600 in a few years, it may be nice to revisit. (My first next level pen, from a Parker urban, was that in the blue finish for Christmas 2011).

I've barely gotten used to my white transparent.

 

On my last pen, the tines were misaligned, no sweat, I can fix that with some patience. Charging extra for their less than stellar EF/F nibs is quite cheeky though.

Sadly I don't. The pink one was a little on the heavy side, even if I could have afforded it. Now of course the prices of remaining ones are through the roof.... :yikes:

OTOH, someone in my local pen club has one of the Transparent Whites, and it WASN'T heavy the way the M600 Pink was. If I had saved up, I might have been able to swing the price of one of those -- but the color didn't grab me. Nothing wrong with it, just didn't wow me the way a pen that expensive had better do (like last year's M405 Stresemann -- that one was a "Must Have!" for me, and due to circumstances I actually could afford it). But those circumstances ain't happening this year.... :( So I will have to likely start an equivalent to what my old college roommate called the "wench fund" (she saved loose change back from purchases to save up and go to a "Dark Shadows" convention on the West Coast and dressed up for the masquerade as an 18th century tavern wench).

      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
