How fragile are Aurora pens?

Recommended Posts

Dear community, I need your advice. I almost bought the Pilot VP Raden but then I saw the Aurora Optima 2024 and now I can’t stop thinking about this most beautiful pen in the world. The only thing that stops me is information from everywhere that Auroras break easily without a serious reason. I know that I can buy Raden and most likely, if I take care of it, the pen will last me a lifetime. But what about Aurora? What is the probability that the Optima will fall apart? Which pen would you choose? This is a lot of money per pen for me and I can't buy both.

The filling knob of Optima was subject to problems in the very first serie, of about 1992 - 1993.

I also had one of the first optima, and one day it went broked without reasons.

Aurora changed me all the pen except the nib, and after that I never had any more issue for that one and for another 2 optima I bought later.

I'm not a fan of Aurora as I have in total probably less than 15 pens from this brand, but this has been my experience sofar.
