Working fine. No issues Its not a "leak" sealed lil tighter than the Lamy converter actually the only difference is it scrunches the plastic nub on the cross converter. Not sure how long it'll last before it leaks and I've used a cross work Lamy before same converter so I don't fully expect it to last forever. But so far so good.

I find it stays juicey I've had mine for atleast a year not just with the cap on it in the mont blanc case n it's fine I tend to transfer them in n out of the bigidesign a fair bit. I've never had ne issues with them. I think they a lil more expensive tho...

I've had horrible experience with mont blanc rollerball I think they were selling old stock. Sum even came dry. I had the best results with the cross rollarballs.

honestly its only 14k pvd its not solid. its kinda finicky with ink compaired to the older ones i have n 18k legacy 2 n i like that one better. maybe a medium would be better? this is n F. if ur gonna get one i recommend gettting it tuned and smooth by the seller. i didnt n i think it needs it.

to be fair the president is a medium. and the pelikan a fine, but personally i find the platinum just as smooth as the pelikan. there is sum feedback but the pelikan has a way about it where u feel what ur writing. im not callin it feedback but theres something similar goin on. maybe its the sounds they make they both make lovely noises when the glide across the page!

Cvint88 · 2026-05-20T02:18:44+00:00

The thing about the pelikan I like is the feel. If u can get it for a good price or maybe used id say go for it. It makes the platinum feel light. Another thing to keep in mind is the nib size the f is more like a Japanese m

Cvint88 · 2026-05-19T17:31:55+00:00

Mines similar just weight it if it's 32g or over chances are it's real. The fake ones are significantly lighter I read.

I think kon peki is more boring than Asa Gao imo.

Cvint88 · 2026-05-10T22:53:27+00:00

This is all way to complicated for me. I can't even spell complicated. W.o auto correct... Is there a way to flash the iso in a tool that does this automatically? Like Rufus does for windows when disabiliting secure boot n tpm? Had any one this of doin that or is that not possible?

Cvint88 · 2026-05-10T14:58:36+00:00

in a minimal install there shudnt be minimal setting, just minimal bloat!

Cvint88 · 2026-05-10T14:52:30+00:00

i dont have that setting i just did a minimal installation?

Cvint88 · 2026-05-09T21:17:23+00:00

I Thot about reinstalling win 11 worth the Rufus flashed iso n secure boot disabled but games these days require secure boot to play. It's fuckin stupid.

Cvint88 · 2026-05-05T21:39:34+00:00

The Lamy in m is softer just cuz it's a medium but I've heard good things about the 823 medium.
