Hmm. Might make a cruise past the thrift store worth it if I factor in the cost for a nib swap.

Do I detect Kon Peki in use? I think I'm having almost as much fun watching your pen's daily excursions as you are writing your daily notes. Almost!

[Pravda]

I also detected Kon Peki on the nibs The neon(ish) hue it leaves is easy to pick up

 

Here are some random 149 pictures I have taken to join Tom Kellie's on this fine weekend:

I remember Dubai being pretty good this time of the year, but I didn't like it much in the summer!

Beautiful! Would you happen to know the material or technique that makes the red gold nib "red" compared to the yellow gold nib?

Also a beautiful image. When I purchase my 149 in the near future, it will be difficult to decide between the yellow gold and red gold color. But I think I have decided on the BB nib.

Copper makes red gold that lovely shade in nibs and jewelry. Yellow is the natural color. If they ever make a green gold nib using nickel, I'll drop everything to buy an OBBB!

Thank you. I'm leaning towards the yellow gold, but the red gold is intriguing.

I got too accustomed to the red gold of watches that yellow nowadays looks to my eye a bit odd or old fashioned, despite the red gold gives off a more vintage look. I say red gold over yellow.

[Ghost Plane]

Agree. There's a warmth to it.

Never thought I'd be much of a fan of brown ink, but that really does look nice. MIght have to add that to the rotation.

Me too...mostly! Speaking as a cyclist, I'd like a few more warmer days in the summer, but the rest suits me fine!
