I have several Visconti Divina Elegance but I decided to get a rollerball for this version.
Sounds like a great collection! I reviewed a Divini Midi on this channel. Stunning pen.
@@fortheloveofpens it was so beautiful but I thought my sister might enjoy it more. It reality, I’ve give away all my Visconti’s. The Mythos, I just purchased I’m giving away to my niece for her graduation. It’s not a super expensive pen that if it gets lost it’s not the end of the world. Maybe once she is a doctor I’ll give her a more expensive pen😆
@@bngr_bngr that’s very generous of you!
I ordered one for my birthday next week, I think it looks great… thanks for reviewing this!
Happy birthday, hope you like it!
I had to wait almost three weeks for delivery in the US from one of the large pen shops. Good luck with the delivery.
Awesome pen, thank you!
Thanks!
Definitely a handsome pen. Another great review, thanks.
Thank you!
I had the Mirage but I couldn't get the nib to work well. I had the distributor exchange the nib but it still wasn't working well. I glad to see yours is nicely tuned.
Im sorry to hear that, mine writes well but does have a decent amount of feedback. While I don’t typically like extra feedback, this one hits a sweet spot for me.
That is a beautiful pen! Nice video.
Thank you!
Awesome video!! I have this exact pen, and
I love the price point. I'm glad that you haven't experienced any drying out. I've read that the magnetic cap pens don't have an airtight seal vs screw on caps.
Thank you! I haven’t had any hard starts, even after leaving the pen capped for ~3 weeks. I could see magnetic caps getting bad reputations because you have to nail the tolerance, whereas screw caps are a little more forgiving as you can “over tighten” to an extent to get a better seal.
Thank you❤
Glad you found it useful!
For those of you who like a secure posting, the wobble the reviewer mentions will drive you crazy. It’s too bad,because the pen writes wonderfully, so smooth. And the pen itself is beautiful.
It is something to consider, especially if you like to post your caps
Thank you for uploading this interesting review. I wonder if you have any Visconti Van Gogh pens (new style with steel nibs) or Rembrandt pens (also with steel nibs). This seems like a variant of these two collections and it would be interesting to have a comparison of these different Viscontis.
I agree, those previously were entry level models for Visconti. Unfortunately I don’t have ones to compare.
