The blue one looks fantastic.

 

Although the clear mixed with the black does not look as good as the straight clear.

 

It is a demonstrator pen. You're supposed to see all the nuts and bolts. The black covers it up.

 

Also if it is black and clear it won't match my 530.

Speedy, eventually in both pens, you are going to have to come out with smaller pens.

It came to me many Lady's wish smaller pens, or for folks with smaller hands.

 

 

Then a model with out the big step down.

 

 

A model for those who wish a snap cap. (Not for me, but many wish that.)

 

Facets must be lined up perfect with the nib, for those who use the forefinger up method of grasping a pen.

 

I'm more than a little late...

I don't have the schedule yet, still under fine tune and testing. I will be a couple of months later.

Hi BBO,

 

You are talking exactly what I have in mind and discussed with my RD yesterday.

 

Diamond 330 (one size smaller then 530)

Snap cap version Vacuum with smoother step, or no step.

[smoores]

I like the blue best at this point....but a completely clear demo, I would buy one of those too. I can't wait for a solid black in both the vac and the 530, though.

 

Keep it up! I love my TWSBI!

[cadfael_tex]

Come on Speedy, let's get these puppies in my hand. So many great ideas and products and I'm ready to have'em

[Jimmy James]

I want one of each of the vacuum models tomorrow.

 

I understand something that great takes time, though. I can wait a few more months if I have to.

Snap cap version Vacuum with smoother step, or no step.

Oh, yes please!

I'm enjoying my 530, but that would probably be my ideal working pen.

 

Regards, Myles.

This pen with a kind of flexy nib sounds great.

The wait seems too long though! =]

Plans to built a stainless steel version?

next step: snorkel

 

Considering that declared target was producing affordable, easy to DIY maintain pens, I've some doubts a snorkel fit the description.

 

I would like to see TWSBI attempt, anyway (the 530 is very good, the vac looks promising, the company already demonstrated respect for its customers...).
