PILOT Metropolitan Collection Ball Point Pen, Gold Barrel, Zig-Zag Design,

The pen known by the name of PILOT Metropolitan in US popularly, here in India available by the its conventional name the PILOT MR..The zig -zag black barrel design, unfortunately is not available with any Indian seller ( although other designs are available) so had to import in from USA for 1300/- extraBut Fountain pen hobby is like that, you gotta have what do exactly desireFor newbies, this is the 'perfect fountain pen' so to speakMetal body, Japanese stainless steel medium nib ( which is finer than US, european medium), cigar shaped and nice grip sectionComes with a converter, Pilot con20 which is a bladder converter, looks pretty cheap though does the job and a Pilot proprietary cartridgePros- I mean for Rs.1000/- or 15USD, pilot is giving the best, even the imported one cost me 2400/- Rs. to be honest, they could sell it for 30USD and nobody would complainIts a smooth writer with its Namiki nib which is finer than corresponding US, European nibsFeels good posted or unposted depending upon how big your hands areCons - Uses a pilot proprietary cartridge or a converter, so you cant use a standard cartridge/converter with thisSo all in all, if you are new to fountain pens, as all would say, I would say buy this pen ( you can buy designs available from Indian sellers for even lesser price). This is my third Metropolitan and none has disappointed me so far.Competitors - of course, the all magnificent LAMY SafariWhile you are at it, just buy a new con40 converter from pilot, which is a screw-type converter available for around Rs.600/- and do away with the cheap con20 which comes with the pen.

Worst Product....NEVER BUY...LEAKING FROM DAY 1HOPELESS SERVICES TOO...NEVER CONSIDERED MY RETURN REQUEST...ITS NOT EVEN 100 RS WORTH...

Es un boligrafo muy cómodo.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pen. I first purchased one of these while I was traveling and immediately fell so in love with it, I just had to have a second one. The writing is incredibly smooth and the pen feels very nice in my hand. I have fairly small hands but the thickness and weight of this instrument is perfect. It feels like a premium writing instrument without a super premium price. I highly recommend it.

Mom loved it for her birthday. Looks very expensive. Think I'll get me one, too!

Buen arrastre de la tinta, es punto grueso.

The pen has a solid weight to it and writes like a dream. The top comes off and on with a satisfying click. It feels very well made.This is probably a great place to start if you are looking at getting a 'nicer' pen but do not want to go invest in something pricier.
