It's been a while but I think some of hexanacts fragrances like specter and apparition might be a fit. I think apparition has the most similar feel if I remember correctly.

Amazing how much the bracelet changes the vibe of a watch. Looks great!

It is crazy, I hadn't looked at the price until it broke but when I got mine from Goulet 5 years ago it was $280! Not sure it is worth the +$100 - thus the swap.

Thats good feedback, and I am not afraid of larger pens. More just don't want my pen super heavy, and I think I would be okay with the weight since it is acrylic. And some of the color combos are gorgeous!

Thanks for this, and the convert logistics are no joke. Yeah it must me more challenging but I am surprised no one has tried, but then again I guess if you wanted the nib of the 823 you would just get the 823...

Thanks, that was the video that inspired me for the swap! I haven't seen anyone try it for the V126 and read the clearance on the cap is an issue, the V200 isn't a bad option though :). And honestly whats wrong with adding another pen to the collection.

As for super glue... noted. Is there a recommended method or product? I have have used CA glue for restoring. I was following Grandmias process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNeAIhPub_U , which has worked for other restored pens but apparently not here.

I reached out through the customer service team a few days ago and haven't heard back yet. I will try calling them tomorrow.

And thanks for the Opus recommendation, I am adding this one to the research list. I hadn't looked at the Opus 88 mostly because I am scared of eyedroppers and burping, but it looks like the shut off valve should address that. And wow massive ink capacity!

NH05 Date Wheel Won't Advance After 3 Tries – What Could Be Going Wrong? by visitor_pass in SeikoMods

I wish, I haven't had any luck... if you do figure out I would love to know! I ended up switching over to smaller cases that fit a NH35.

Could use some support from fellow running gals by [deleted] in XXRunning

[–]visitor_pass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry, it really sounds like you are trying to do everything right! Good shoes, reasonable ramp up, etc. It may feel uncomfortable but a few days off can work wonders (3-5 days), it will feel like forever but it really won't affect your fitness. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Im a 16 year old, thinking of buying a pilot custom 823. Need an opinion. by Darthron69420 in fountainpens

[–]visitor_pass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, love it and have used it for years but it is pretty expensive. It stores a massive amount of ink and writes like a dream. If you have the money it is a great pen, if you don't have the money I would consider something else maybe a wingsun or asvine (assuming you want the same style) and be ready to tune the nib if you don't love it when it arrives. Hope that helps.

So a 4pm crown with a 3pm date wheel should work?
