Diplomat Excellence A Guilloche Stripes Fountain pen

Review Title: Love at first sight

This is my third Diplomat and first Excellence A. It was love at first sight. Still wrapped in the plastic sleeve and safely tucked in the case it took my breath away. The classy silver stripes commands attention and the weight is pleasant. I got the medium nib tuned and smoothed and almost feel like it was unnecessary as my other two Diplomats wrote smoothly right out of the box, but I am happy it was tuned and smoothed. The Excellence A, feels luxuriant in my hand and makes writing effortless. I love Diplomat and the Excellence A is not to be overlooked. First time Appelboom customer, the online shopping experience was easy and shipping was quick to New Mexico. Thank you Appelboom for a wonderful experience.

Review Title: Diplomat A, F nib

I already had this pen in blue and red, but looking online I was having in mind this one, with the shiny and sophistacated metal body. I received it and it is so refined in person!
The F nib is perfect and provides a smooth and slightly feedbacky writing experience. One of the very best steel nib on the market, definitely. Thanks to Appelboom for a fluid delivery.

I ordered this pen with a gold nib after watching some online reviews. The gold nib is exceptionally smooth and is one of the best writing pens I have. The pen is nicely finished and looks very sophisticated.
