That's fantastic news! A piston filling Professional Gear would be a welcome addition. Now if only it came in silver trim rather than gold...

Thank you for your indication. I am sorry I have spelled wrong. March is right.

I've never owned a piston filler, screw cap or a sailor, but I was figuring I'd kill 3 birds with one stone by buying a 2009 Realo. But now I saw this topic, and I'd like to ask. What do you think the differences would be between a PG Realo and a 2009 Realo? Is there any special going on for them, like the first batches will have limited edition ink? How are they capped...

 

I can't really decide though, one of these or a Pelikan MXXXX....

Hi,

 

The 30,000 yen ($332.316)list price is relatively close to the $310 for the 1911 Profit Realo when it first appeared.

 

Any additional information on the nib?

 

Thanks,

Andy

I look forward to it, I always loved the look of the ProGear over the 1911 which looks too much like many pens out there.

The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.

Awesome. But, where is my demo?! The pictures indicate that this pen will have a two tone nib I hope it stays that way when they're produced.

Minority view: I love my Sailors, especially my Pro Gear, and I'd LOVE to have them with real pistons. However, I'd not be happy with the window showing when the cap is on the pen, destroys the look in my view. As it is, when I want to know how much ink remains in my Sailors (3) I unscrew the section and visually check the cartridge or the converter - usually cart because I use almost exclusively Sailor inks in these.

According to the site: 21金バイカラー仕上げ（大型ペン先）

 

i.e. 21 K two-tone finish (large nib) :bunny01:

That's what I like about these posts--so many different things to notice, like, dislike, wonder about! I'm with Joe on many of these points, but I happen to really like the unusual feature of a window that shows without unscrewing the cap. :thumbup:

The thing is: I really like the shape, form design of the PG, the balance is as perfect as I have seen it anywhere, capped or uncapped, but... it is so small!

I haver to use it capped (not my preference), and still.

If Sailor could only make it 1911 size, but with all the perfect balance intact, that is the Realo I'd buy in a heartbeat!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
