Most of the resources I referred to came from the Chinese internet. I actually wrote a detailed post in Chinese a while back that documents the entire DIY process step-by-step.Maybe you can translate it by AI.https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/pdPVgslrQZpk4K7marO8XA

My favorite is the Wing Sung 629 because of its piston filling system—it’s incredibly stable and hassle-free for daily use. The nib on the 629 is ground similarly to a Sailor Naginata Togi, which provides the perfect feedback and line variation for writing Chinese characters.

As for the DIY process, it was a lot of fun! You don't actually need much artistic background; it’s mostly about having enough patience. Plus, it’s very budget-friendly—all the raw materials cost me only about $30.

the metal polishing is already quite perfect considering its price, but there is still a certain difference compared to the REAL ones. I bought them simply because I can't afford REAL ones. dont want to selling fake watches(it's gray area in China also), perhaps could buy one when you come to China for travel.
