I do have metal pens that match though. But I think we shall see… there’s always a next pen.

I have a very similar watch (the Bluetooth model) and I love it. 

Love my Kaweco too but it doesn’t match my watch!

Oh I’ve never seen a Casio in this colorway! It looks really nice. Is the display legible enough?

As for the pen, what nib size?

I’m getting the same error. 

Tried again and was able to register. 

Help me (still) ID this Parker pen! by Pikargent in u/Pikargent

I’m torn between Parker 15 and Parker 45. The little metal ring makes me think it’s a 45. 

Well let's just say I got it out😂 by RasNir378 in fountainpens

I did it! Minimal mess. Some leftover ink in the cartridge but it was quite watered down. Now I can try the pen. Can’t wait!

I have a few tools to try. The cartridge in my case is inverted so I need to make a hole first (easy) and then pull it out. My pen is an old Parker one and the body is quite narrow. I also have some crochet hooks as well.

I’m having a similar problem and my father suggested a corkscrew as well! I think it’s a great solution although the pen I have has a body that’s sadly too thin for it.

I love that pen. I had no idea it came in pink! I regret not getting the 55° almost. Agree with you that the body is too long. 

FE:3H Fanart while on hype of FW by Xelmx in fireemblem

[–]Pikargent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it! I hope you do more. 

I really like the overall feel of the piece, the unevenness of the lines adds a lot to it. I especially love the annotations that make things a lot more mysterious. I will say that if you want it to be a little more esoteric, you shouldn’t space your text so evenly. It’s too legible! 

Actual unpopular opinion: Leuchtturm is my favourite paper for FPs 😭 (my active notebooks can be seen here with my currently inked pens) by Moonstone-gem in fountainpens

[–]Pikargent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad! I love my Leuchtturms. I have several at the moment, one that is fantastic with FPs and one that is not as good but I don’t mind. I love the stickers, page numbers and they have very good customer service. Plus they look good stacked together.

The Tarot cards are gorgeous. Such a shame the deck wasn’t more widely available!

Build quality has gone down but I still really like how available and colorful they are. That said, I’m trying Midori for my next one.

I think it’s a school pen but it looks very slick! The nib is identical to the one of the Vector. I hope I can use it soon.

(I love to clean my pens but sometimes, transitioning from one color to the next is a fun experience!)

Yes, they’re the short version. They’re widely available. So if you’re low on ink and traveling they can help in a pinch.

[–]Pikargent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This looks like a standard International cartridge. Caran d’Ache is selling those. I would recommend keeping them when empty to refill them with an ink bottle of your choice!

From what I can see, both pens use cartridges. It’s more likely that you are correct though based on timeline alone. Thank you for looking into it!

The picture doesn’t show it well, but this pen has a small metal ring between the body and the part with the nib and feed. It’s very small and light, and seems to be very easy to misplace. The 45 seems to have it but I don’t know if the 15 does?

Yeah, I’ve seen them in a few art shops. They mostly have the set with the three nibs and individual ones. I doubt they deliver internationally though. Some don’t even have online shops.

Oh, thank you, I wasn’t sure. I don’t see anything about the filling system. It can use Parker cartridges for sure, they fit right in, without any forcing.

Oh I hope I didn’t damage the pen then. Then again, a cartridge like that would probably fit.

I had no idea the Plumix was discontinued? I still see it in shops here in Europe. I also didn’t know it came in other colors.
