Twsbi Diamond 580 Black Rosegold Fountain Pen

Has anyone here tried it yet? It looks beautiful! I also see that the price of the Vac 700 has gone down to $65.

I want this pen to be all black with just a tiny ink window. The black/demo doesn't look right to me - but I do like the black and gold.

I really dislike gold. Feels wrong / blingy for my taste. Glad they make it for those that do like gold trim.

OK, I will be a p*sspot: I would want a white one with gold trim. The black and gold looks too industrial.

I'm curious about the rose gold too, but I think I like the clear with silver trim better.

Is a white one in the works? That would look good.

Alas, Goulet Pen Co. sold out before I could secure one; I hope to fare better when additional stock arrives.

Both the white and black were proposed by TWSBI on their facebook page; they actually asked for comments from everyone. The black version won out, but this is what the white version looked like:

Plenty to be had on the TWSBI web site.

The white looks better.

I have the rose gold - have not inked it yet - I'm savoring the newness of it, apparently.

 

I will say, I am not a huge fan of rose gold in general; I'd never buy a piece of rose gold jewelry.

 

However, this pen is gorgeous. The gold isn't too pink like some rose gold I've seen, but it's not as brassy looking as the pictures above. There's a richness and depth to the color.

 

I posted a couple of pictures over on my Instagram.

+1 for the white version!

[amberleadavis]

Thank you! I admit to being a rose gold wearer.

I agree that the white looked better but I'd happily write with either.

Wow

[F104]

I am awaiting one now. It really does look good with a load of dark blue ink it it, doesn't it?

 

If I were to want the 580 in another color, I think red would be the one I'd request. I like the old standards.

 

Frankly, the white leaves me cold.

[Harlequin]

The only other colored 580s are going to be the Classics, it seems (although that can always change, lol). But those are opaque, not demonstrators.
