I’d forgotten how wonderful it is to write with a fountain pen, it took me days to decide which one to buy. I know that Cross are a fantastic Company with a lifelong guarantee, but it still took me a while to decide which Cross model I would get. I chose perfectly for me, I even seen to be a much neater writer with this pen. It’s very stylish and feels great in your hand perfectly balanced, It’s not too wide, but for me it’s better than the slim models, the flow of the ink is perfect. Just ordered my line a day diary, I’m really looking forward to all my writing.

You can tell this pen is higher quality, than some as it writes beautifully. Even when it hasn't been used for a while it still writes straight away as opposed to some cheaper pens which tend to dry up a bit. It feels very comfortable in the hand when writing with it, and it looks good as well. A nice instrument to own.

It's a very nice pen. It feels heavy and is small in size. I purchased it because I was tired of buying boxes of 20 pens then losing all of them. By purchasing a pen of this quality / price, I will look after it!It feels so good - just pure quality! And from the description, it contains 23 karrat gold!!! As well as this, you get a lifetime warranty.I dropped a star because the gift box was very nice and I wanted to keep it. Unfortunately, it was taped and the tape ripped parts of the gift box.Highly recommended!

This is a perfect gift!

My Cross fountain pen is of the finest quality as is always the case with this extremely good manufacturer (I'm not being paid or coerced into writing my comments, honest.). I have purchased quite a few Cross pens over the years and still have most of them, except the couple that were stolen. Having tried out my new pen I find it glides over the paper beautifully, improving even my writing. The construction is of a very high standard, so much so I can say that this is a product that will last for years. Oh, by the way, their customer service is absolutely terrific, although you'll only need to contact them if you have broken you pen yourself. Thank you, Cross.

This is a very attractive pen, there is no doubting that, but I have some reservations.Firstly, especially noticeable for the larger-handed gentleman, this is a *very* slim and lightweight pen. In severe contrast to that delicate feel, the cap is extremely difficult to remove with any sort of flair or aplomb -- one almost has to hold both parts with a death-grip and pull them apart with enough force that the thread may or may not be snapped off in the barrel. If one has recently applied any sort of hand cream this operation will result in an embarrassing failure, and any given onlooker may well receive an unexpected and uninvited black eye.Once past that trial the nib writes quite smoothly, it has to be said. While small, the nib has an interesting profile and looks more expensive than it really is. I would categorise this more as a broad nib than the claimed "medium", on the basis of the amount of ink deposited, if using the supplied cartridges. Note that the pen accepts the usual Cross converters, so one might use any ink one wishes, and many will deposit more in line with the medium claim, handwriting puns notwithstanding.The finish of the body is really quite attractive but it does attract greasy marks with a shocking level of earnest, so one will spend a lot of time polishing it. A glasses cloth or similar is recommend as a companion to this particular pen.For the casual note-taker I would recommend the lacquered editions of the Cross Bailey as an alternative model. They are less slim and therefore easier to grip and de-cap, and while they do not have metal bodies their finish is more eye-catching with a pleasurable and comment-worthy level of depth to the lacquer effect.

Très beau stylo, avec une partie plaquée or, qui a fait son effet lorsque je l’ai offert. Prix compétitif par rapport au prix officiel (115 €). En revanche, pas de recharge supplémentaire : la recharge mentionnée est celle qui est déjà mise dans le stylo, ce qui est la moindre des choses !

Vorab: es ist nicht meine erste Cross Füllfeder. Genau dieses Modell, aber in einer anderen Ausführung hatte ich schon als jahrelangen Begleiter. Nur nach langem und intensiven Gebrauch fing sie leicht zu lecken an und die Verschlußkappe hielt auch nicht mehr richtig.Für mich persönlich eine der besten Füllfedern. Sehr leicht, das Schreiben geht flüssig von der Hand, sieht edel und aus in der Chrom Variante.So macht schreiben Spaß.Ach ja, eins noch: nachdem die Cross Patronen recht teuer sind habe ich einen Kolbenkonverter mitbestellt. Diesen, oder die Patronen, sollte man auf jeden Fall mitbestellen, weil die Füllfeder selbst wird ganz ohne geliefert.

Esta pluma me la recomendaron unos conocidos, pude probarla antes de comprarla.La idea que tenía de Cross eran bolígrafos de buena calidad, no plumas fuente.Funciona muy bien, el flujo no tiene problemas, no hay derrames, no se siente que rasque.El diseño estético es agradable aunque algo conservador para mi gusto.Me ha funcionado mejor con tintas que tienen fama de ser secas como Pelikan y Graf von Faber-Castell. Con húmedas como Waterman, pues... hice un batidero. No hubiera pasado con papel especial como Tomoe River o Fabriano, pero para reseñas prefiero usar papel para impresora al cual todos estamos familiarizados.Sí la recomiendo… aunque ya en este rango de precios, más que fijarse en marcas es preferible probar qué diseño se adapta mejor a la mano y confort de cada quien.

Original cross productPros:Feels premiumWrites like its gliding on the paperBuilt is sturdyLifetime mechanical warranty...!!Cons:Not sure about the warranty as the seller isn’t William penn...!! Hope the day never comes;)Don’t buy if you have sweaty palms, you won’t be able to writeComes with standard black refill...an option should exist of choosing our own colour of ink right out of the box
