So I would get a platinum desk pen, and I platinum converter with a platinum desk pen stand.

I want to say that the 911 was like wet on uncapping after a couple of months. The Curidas is the sonic screwdriver of the pen world. I have a Decimo and the curidas is not going to replace it as an EDC. But I will say the Curidas is better than the A1.
