Cross Bailey Light Polished Resin Refillable Fountain Pen, Medium Nib, Includes Premium Gift Box - Glossy Grey

Leider wirkt dieser mittelgraue Füller sehr "billig", leichtes, glänzendes Plastik. Hatte etwas hochwertiger erwartet, sieht aus wie ein 2€ Füller

I bought this gray Cross Bailey pen as a gift for my father-in-law's retirement after thirty years at the same company, and he actually got emotional opening it because he'd always wanted a proper fountain pen but never treated himself to one. I tested it out before wrapping it just to make sure everything worked, and the black ink flowed evenly right out of the box without any priming needed. The polished gray finish looks sophisticated without being flashy, which fit his personality perfectly. He called me a week later to say he'd already used it to sign some paperwork and a couple of cards, and mentioned how smooth it felt compared to the pens he'd used his whole career. It's a small gift but clearly meant something, and knowing the quality held up for daily writing gives me confidence it'll last him a long time in retirement.

Absolutely hated this pen. The flow is just so inconsistent, the nib is ground to a weird round tip that was just so unpleasant.

Caneta muito boa qualidade e preço. Muito feliz.

Ho acquistato la Cross Bailey Light grigia per 18 € spedita, da Europens. La plastica di cui è costruita è di buona qualità, così come le finiture metalliche. Ben bilanciata, leggera, con un pennino M che scrive con grande fluidità e senza incertezze. Per forma, dimensioni e materiali è paragonabile a una Aurora Ipsilon, che però costa 8-10 volte di più (possedendole ora entrambe, non so davvero dirvi un valido motivo per tale differenza di prezzo). Unico neo, non da poco: sia le cartucce proprietarie che il converter sono cari rabbiosi e non facili da reperire. Fate bene i conti se intendete usarla spesso, o non avete a disposizione altre stilografiche.
