Review Title: a classic and elegant fountain pen

The La Dotta Orefici is a beautiful pen. It fits my hand comfortably, even though it is a little bit bigger than my Pelikan M1000. The resin took me a little getting used to at first. As with all swirly resins the photos online and the actual pen you end up with are often quite different. But the pen is none the less very beautiful and it is growing on me by the day. I bought the 14k Fine flex nib, and was a bit surprised how wet this pen is. It therefore writes much broader than the fine nibs I prefer. In hindsight I should have picked a finer nibsize, or gone for the 18K nib. But I am not unhappy with my purchase. For anyone who likes an elegant fountain pen with a bouncy/flexy nib the La Dotta is a lovely option.
