Notice To 300 Pre-sale Twsbi Diamond 530 Owners

[TheToadMen]

After being filled with water for 3 days, only the M nib pen showed some leaking. The EF nib pen seemed allright. So I filled this pen with blue ink and it immediately leaked behind seal no.1 and seal no.2, leaving a blue smear behind the plunger. I can't clean this without taking the pen apart?? I didn't dare to test the M nib pen with ink since this one already leaked with water.

 

So, I'm gonna email Speedy for a repair kit on two pens.

 

Since the other pen was already filled with ink, I unscrewed the nib section to test the M nib as well. The EF nib seemed more like a F nib, a bit thick for my taste (for an EF nib, that is). The M nib wrote very good and smoother then the EF nib.

 

Then I cleaned the pen and the nibs after only 5 minutes of writing "pleasure".

It's a great looking pen and it holds very well indeed so I was looking forward to writing my first letter with it a an other FPN memeber. But that didn't go through so is was a bit of a disappointment today.

Not my lucky day .....

Hello Speedy,

I received my two FP today (a EF and a M nib). Thank you for the warning about the possible seal leaks. I filled both pens with water to test this. The EF seems fine, but the M shows a drop of water behind seal 1 immediately.

I'll put the pens on my desk nib facing upward for a while 'to let the seals leak' and report back what the results are.

 

First impressions of the pens are very positive. The pen is heavier and bigger than I thought (and that's a good thing!). This is a decent pen to hold and write with. I'm waiting for some special ink to test writing with it.

 

Thank you for a beautiful pen and the best of services you provide!!

Thank you guys for your all of your understanding and support, I simply don't want to give you bad surprise, and this is the mininum I have to do.

Just found out about this pen, now I want to know more. And seeing your response to the "problem" just makes me want to buy one. I'll have to find out how to get one. Do you have a pen site or can I order one from you?
