Platinum Chartres Rhodium With Sf Nib?

[bbs]

Hi All, just wondering if the rhodium-plated version of the Chartres blue pen was available in an SF nib ....

 

I'm interested in trying this nib. I've already got a gold-plated Burgougne and wanted a different look for the Chartres. Is it possible?

[Algester]

what are you talking about? they should be the same... so you want to make a gold trim burgougne with a rhodium plated nib?

It appears that not all of the nibs available for the 3776 Century are being offered for rhodium trim models. I was interested in the rhodium trim Chartres Blue until I noticed that the Ultra Extra Fine (or even an Extra Fine, for that matter) nib was not being offered - just Fine, Medium and Broad. This may be only the case in the United States, though.

Thanks - yes, I can't find any being offered for sale. What a shame!

No, sorry for any confusion. I have a broad nib gold-plated Burgougne. I'm interested in an SF nib rhodium-plated Chartres, but I can't find anyone selling that nib in that trim.

nope even in Japan rhodium trim only comes in F,M and B.... :<

I've seen a video on YouTube with the review of a Black 3776 with Rhodium Music Nib. At least this kind of nib will be available in the Chartres version?

hmmm weird the platinum home site didnt give anything about the nibs though...

most of the japanese blogs say its only F,M and B nib grades... what... or perhaps only 3 nibs will only be available to the first 2K pens? BOTH PENS

I think this could be the right version - on gold Chartres and Bourgogne the "exotic" (SF, C...) appeared latter...

[deacondavid]

It would be nice if the more "interesting" nibs would show up later. I'm guessing that the rhodium trim models are not true limited editions (as is the case with the original Chartres Blue and Bourgogne models). I wish this were the case with the true limited edition designs - the Shoji, Nice, NIce Pur, Yamanaka, Sai, Motosu, etc.

 

I see a music nib coming to my collection at some point. I need to get my hands on one, so I can see if it writes the way that I think it will. If I could have gotten one in the Shoji or the Nice, I would probably already have one.

I dont think Nice Pur is a limited edition pen... it had a numbered batched but thats it...

Even so, no special nibs for them. I was told today in my friendly but not so local pen store (2 hour drive if traffic is ideal) that there is a soft medium nib offered for the Yamanaka (which is stunning in person).

[Algester]

SF yamanaka would be kinda for the US release it seems... since the japanese website says F,SM,M.B nib grades

They did not say that a Soft Fine was available for the Yamanaka, they said that the Soft Medium was offered. I just checked with nibs.com and they show it, too.

[Algester]

opps my mistake it is soft medium... OPPS
