Platinum 3776 Century Fountain Pens Reviews

I guess that I am enjoying writing witrh this pen so much on a daily basis, that I didn't notice the few weeks that already went by since the pen arrived. I love the feel of the pen, the nice balance in my hand, even the motion of unscrewing the cap feels elegant. And of course, the nib - having experience with other Japanese brands (Sailor in particular), I knew that the M nib would be more on the Fine side for me than on the Broad side, and it is both comfortable, and flows nicely, without drying while I work and let it sit a bit between taking notes... this is a classy and very comfortable pen!

I knew I wanted to get a "next level" pen, and decided on the Platinum 3776 Century. I am so glad I ordered this pen. I heard in reviews that there is definite feedback and that worried me a little because I ordered a fine nib. However, when I got the pen and inked it up right away without (gasp!) giving it a wash first, I just didn't want to stop writing with it! The flow was excellent, the pen was comfortable while posted, and the nib gave just the right amount of feedback without being scratchy at all. No more than a smooth pencil's amount of feedback! Really happy! You have to order the Platinum converter separately, which is a little bit of a drag, but I prefer Platinum converters to Pilot converters any day, and don't mind spending the money. Great deal and customer service from Pen Chalet as well.

Great pen pen. Awesome price for an amazing gold nib.

In my opinion, these pens with the soft fine nibs are the very best pen on the market. They'd be worth it at twice the price, but glad they are sold at such a reasonable price. I've a dozen of them, most of them purchased right here at PenChalet for their great prices and fast and friendly service!

This pen is a smooth writer. No feedback to mention. The medium point is right for me with and ink. Decent price for a 14K nib pen.

This is a very nice pen - a good daily writer.

3776 Century pens are rapidly becoming one of my favorite pen lines. I don't normally love gold trim on pens,but it works pretty well on this Chartres Blue. I got the Soft Fine nib on this one, and I like it quite a lot! Nice and flexy.

The 3776 Century is an excellent pen. Many have described how it writes as a "soft pencil", and I agree. The medium 14k nib writes beautifully, not too wet or dry and with just the right amount of line thickness and feedback. It does have a dry start when sitting uncapped for a brief amount of time, but restarts quickly and consistently. The pen is very balanced when posted, with just the right combination of length, width, and weight.

Exceptional quality and looks. I got the soft fine nib which has a very nice spring to it that makes writing a joy. Feedback is quite interesting and makes me feel in control of my writing. My only concern is that the photograph for the white model makes it look pink-ish on the site. It's actually white/off-white IRL. Just something to consider if you're looking to buy it. I'm still very very happy with the purchase and like the off-white look.

This is my second Platinum fountain pen. The first was a Procyon that I got on a whim. It was on special and included a converter. The nib was so fabulous it eventually displaced all my other fountain pens. It also enabled me to discover that I prefer writing with a really, really fine line. I had already noticed that the 3776 Century was advertised with an ultra extra fine nib, but the price was just out of reach. The I got a 15% birthday discount. Then it came on special. Now I have what I guess must be my grail pen. It writes the thinnest line of anything I have ever used and does so effortlessly.
