Calling All Omas Experts - What Are The Differences Between These?

[Precise]

I have one inbound. .the new vintage.. thats such a stupid name imo.... Did you rotate the nib or send it out?

thanks

I've done it two ways:

1. Pull the nib straight out (takes a hard pull), then rotate it and push it back in. I usually dip the section in hot water to do this, it expands the section and makes it easier to pull. But since I've had a flange fall of, I'm afraid to dip it in hot water.

2. I made a wrench to fit the two 1.2mm wide notches in the black sleeve between the section and nib. Then it's very easy rotate the nib about 20 to 30 degrees counter-clockwise. Some Omas pens lack these two notches. Other Omas pens have extremely narrow notches.

If we can relatively easily pull the nib section... ie friction fit.. why are we not recommending folks who want to clean their 360 pens pull for a thorough clean.. are there warranty issues ?

I cannot even conceive of pulling a nib to clean a pen or pulling a nib unless there is absolutely no other way to make the pen write.

Well, let me spin this one... some inks are just TERRIBLE to clean.. and some times the pens are clogged and its a forever to clean, or never....

At least as a if absolutely necessary pull nib and flush... I know its not the same things but .....

 

Oh well, maybe my new used 360 will come and be mint and only used once a year on her birthday by a little old lady

 

My version of this car was only driven on Sunday back and forth to church

Hi everyone...

Besides the ink view on the 556/S...is there any difference between the 556/S and the 555/s?  I have been Googling the lengths, but haven't had much luck.  Thank you!
