PLATINUM"#3776 CENTURY/Chartres Blue(nib : Broad)

Beautiful pen that writes amazingly well!

Nib scratches the paper a lot, be careful if using textured paper. But other than that writes beautifully

nice pen , great value , arrived in good time

I really wanted to like this pen more...not least because of its premium price and imagined Japanese craftsmanship. It took quite a long time to arrive from Japan to London and in the meantime I had already received some incredibly cheap Chinese Jinhao pens for a nano-fraction of the price (over 90% cheaper). These were very impressive: ok smoothness with generous ink flow, and INCLUDED in the bargain, a converter! In contrast, the suppliers of the Platinum were too stingy to include its converter, which is ordinarily supplied in the box. But, the price was competitive, so after failed negotiations to include said converter, I was still looking forward to luxury writing from the elegant Platinum - luxury writing in comparison to the more than competent Jinhao brand. In fact, I was disappointingly underwhelmed - and this in itself is virtually an understatement. Yes it flows - very wet even - but silky smooth it aint, dare I use penophile linguistics, but "scratchiness" is felt (as much I want to justify my purchase as a self subscribed consumer might under the delusion of ostentation, I will not try to persuade myself that this is but "feedback"). And this is indeed bewildering, for the pen is perfectly crafted in appearance, the nib, inspected under a magnifying loupe, is aligned. Even more unusual for a Japanese pen, is that the bold nib (B) writes even thicker than a German Kaweco BB that I have....curiouser and curiouser. For some of course, this might cause salivations, for me, this was not what I intended to choose. If you own a Kaweco, that will feel smoother, if you own a Jinhao, that will feel more substantial. This is a beautiful looking pen without the beautiful performance.

Came through very quickly and exactly as described. Excellent price

Platinum 3 776 is an excellent fountain pen and writes flawlessly.

Una pluma sobria de color impactaste, sexy, que resalta en tus manos, que además cuenta con una suavidad envidiable con un plumin de oro de 14k. El plumin es grueso,pero pinta como un mediano europeo, con un buen flujo de tinta, sin ser demasiado “húmeda”. Totalmente recomendable, sobre todo con este grosor si vienes de probar marcas europeas. Vas a querer completar la colección de la marca, te la recomiendo mucho.

Il y a un problème dans l'écoulement de l'encre, au mieux il peut servir de porte-plume. La plume est agréable, le corps est joli,mais dans l'état il n'est pas utilisable.

Fantastic pen, very smooth and wet straight out of the box with no nib tuning needed. 14k nib has slight flex or spring. True broad line width, similar to parker classic line width (0.8mm). The translucent blue barrel and cap are outstanding. Might have to buy the red next. The overall finish is supurb. Rapidly becoming my favorite fountain pen. For the money this is a great value pen.

Pluma ligera y hermosa con plumín espléndido.Es un B(broad,ancho) ycomo tal escribe,en absoluto como un M europeo.La leyenda urbana de los plumines japoneses escribiendo más fino que los euro-americanos de la misma denominación no está justificada.Al menos con los Platinum,los Sailor acaso sean otra cosa,no lo se.La pluma tiene una fluídez suficiente sin ser excesiva.La caperuza cierra perfectamente.La pluma destocada me queda algo corta pero encapuchada es perfecta.Hay que pedir el embolillo aparte,es sacrilegio poner un carchuto a esta obra de arte.El magnífico plumín se desliza con un leve roce como de lápiz blando,no cual patinadora sobre hielo,muy agradable.NO es un plumín flexible,ni falta que le hace,por lo que se aconseja,pese a su robustez,no estrujarlo contra el papel.El precio japonés es asequible y muy bueno para un instrumento de esta calidad.Muy contento con la pieza.(se recuerda de nuevo que hay que pedir aparte el embolillo,injustamente llamado convertidor)

色も鮮やかでお気に入りです。 ペン先も硬すぎず、太めの文字が好きなのでとても使いやすい万年筆です。 筆圧が強くても潰れすぎないのに滑らかに紙面を滑る感覚が最高です。
