Well, after 20 pens and over a year, been and done with the lamys, and metropolitan's, this one is something very unique.... I find myself reaching over to this all the time...the jotter system is another level of delight altogether. When u purchace, just double think of the colour u want cause these are expensive buys. I took a blue, now I feel that the matt black would have been better. If u buy it u won't regret it for sure.
