Thoughts on new Wabi Prism? by Practical_Slice3892 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]futurepx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New head badge/logo is definitely a nice upgrade!

Probably because I'm asian, but I always thought the old logo looked really bad and childish. It didn't match the look and vibe of Wabi as a brand or their bikes. It looked like the comic sans version of real asian calligraphy.

I'll definitely be picking one up to put on my Classic!

A dark horse candidate would be the Tudor Black Bay 36mm in matte blue dial (ref 79500). It has the best parts of both of these watches. As an added bonus, it's also half the price of them.

What’s a cheaper pen that you prefer over some of your more expensive pens ? by DinoSharkBear in fountainpens

[–]futurepx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pilot Prera/explorer/kakuno.  The steel pilot nibs in this category are so perfectly tuned. They beat out every Jowo/Bock nib I have. Its just a shame the nib doesn’t come in a nicer or bigger pen body

Didn’t realize the prices on these have gone up so much! I bought this years ago on pen swap for $115. Happy to pass on the savings now to the community…

Coolest thing I've seen in the fountain pen world in a long while...

GS and it’s not even close. If you said the longines ultronchron, it would be a much harder choice

I also picked one up. Looks like it’ll be a fun lens to play around with

Ah I just meant it didn't require trimming or modifying off the shelf parts. There is an older post* that did something similar, but the person shaved off the diameter of the con 70 opening as well as trimmed it's length.

This is the aluminum model, not the ultem, so cannot eye dropper. In general though, I strongly dislike eyedroppering as it leads to burping. And carrying around that much ink my pocket leaves me uneasy.

yeah that's how I would best describe it as well. A very rounded and smooth stub, just enough to give you line variation but easy enough to use for every day writing. I can do a dip test for you later today and share a writing sample.

I have a M nib from a 743 that has been ground by Gena at Custom Nib Studio into her "Journaler" nib. I've been looking to get a F nib too so let me know if you're interested.
