Totally agree with this review. I bought the original many years ago. It’s a brown celluloid with gold vermeil over the silver. It has a different filling system, though. You pop out the bottom an it becomes a vacuum filler sort of. It’s more like the New Walsh eversharp filling mechanism. TMI I know. Waiting for tomorrow’s podcast.
Brilliant review PBR - this might be the most beautiful pen in the regular catalog : the degree of hand finishing on the spiral facets is stunning. We do need more pic shout outs to Susan from Visconti tho Just pulled the trigger on an imperial blue one
Again, an awesome and blood-raw review. I particularly enjoyed the rationale regarding “pulling the trigger.” I feel far too many collectors/writers give these retails far too much coin when there are many lesser-priced-but-not-necessarily-lesser pens out there that are looked over. BTW, loved your “My Favorite Three Pens” with Appelboom.
Thanks Roy for another succinct and informative review, truly a pen to "aspire" to at the moment, and it seems that the nib issues have been resolved, which is great news.
Really like the look and the idea behind this pen. But I always have a practical question on this. How do you clean and regrease the piston mechanism on this pen as it doesn't seem any of those parts are easily assesable. Or do you have to send it back to visconti everytime when the piston start to get sticky?
@ 2:54 The nib is supposed to have 1.5 to indicate it is a 1.5 mm stub. But the nib reads 1.3. Maybe you can get a better discount because the nib is wrong?
Nice pen, thanks for showing it to us. I love seeing pens with ANY sterling silver in them, the more the better.
Thirty times my personal price limit.
I appreciate your honesty when it comes to the price of this fountain pen. Thank you for your honesty. Take care.

Perfection might just be a 1.6 nib option...
Excellent review of an excellent pen!!! I am in love with the Visconti Divina!!! It is perfection.

Using green ink in a bordeaux pen should be outlawed. Violation results in revoking your license to carry pens.

Beautiful of course but imagine it with white marbling. I want to say that exists already one of thier pens made with red/white marble.
Thanks Roy 👍
The point of colors is that they’re different isn’t t? Green and burgundy is an excellent match.
It's already on my grail pen list
HOLY COW! Now I know why you were using green ink. (LOL)
Visconti Divina is my grail pen.
Boy you rocks👍👍
Sorry dude, you did a fly over in a Blackbird.
Matching inks to pen bodies is overrated.
It's an excuse to buy more pens, in every color.
@@ichirofakename That's not a bad idea!
$1000 pen is nothing, at the rate we are going, it will soon be a $10,000 pen.
