Wow, 21,600 JPY = $194 USD for the #3776C Bordeaux Rose. That's crazy! A Bourgogne Red #3776C sells for $70-$75 USD, 168% less. See here:

So is the "Rose Gold" furniture solid-gold or something? Why the big price increase?

could be solid rose gold... does Nice's rose gold version rot? if not then it's alloy should be similar

The Chartres Blue one looks like it's using the Nice mold--the one they used with the Lilias. I like the look of it myself. As far as the furniture, I guess I will find out if it lasts, since I bought the Lilias. But I bought the Lilias from Dan Smith who threw in a custom nib grind, so even though I did pay a lot for the pen ($180?), I'm very happy with how it writes.

Rather than these two, I'm actually waiting for Platinum's next announcement due June 13 about their new series that follows after the five lakes of Mount Fuji.

 

Supposedly the first of the new series will hit the market in early July (according to their Facebook post).

 

PS: I wonder if anyone noticed that the company added a music nib 3776 with silver trimming to their lineup? Interestingly the silver version costs 5000 yen more than the older gold trim version...

the rhodium plating costs a bit more even on the original 3776 variants

It is not. the 3776 is marked up hysterically here in the US. Buy japan direct on amazon, only for these.

 

Ordering a 3776 soft fine in chartes blue next week. Soft fine nib, $75.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

hey now I'm basing everything in the JPY conversion the rhodium versions of the 3776 are 5K yen higher than their standard versions which sell at 10K yen

basically like the Nice line up is like 20K yen... probably the rose gold has something to do with it and or the moulding

either way Nice no matter the furnishing costs 20K yen, this is almost consistent with the previous Platinum exclusive offerings the Nice wasnt their first rose gold furnished pen after all there was a limited shop exclusive using rose gold furnishing as well... Wagner pen group? or was it... Ir pen-rise

and the 21600 yen is basically with the 8% japanese-tax now if your importing I'm not sure if it's covered tax free though the pen still stands selling for 20K yen a piece

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
