Retro 1951 has produced some lines of Tornado pens. This pen is one of my favorites because it has quality built and it has vintage look despite of limit body. it has one advantage over vintage pens and that is interchange with either rollerball or ballpoint refills. I prefer rollerball and the ballpoint is smooth.

I gave one of the USS Geo. Washington "submarine" commemorative roller-ball pens to my son on his starting a new job. He has not had a "good pen" before. I'm a fountain pen junkie and have a modest collection of those, but when I saw the flyer from Pen Chalet about this new Retro 51 Roller Ball model, I was personally taken by it and the new job was the perfect excuse to see an alternate to a fountain pen in a use I can monitor occasionally. I liked the hefty feel of it and I think I will order myself one of these pens soon. Bonus -- it is unusual enough in appearance that this pen will not "walk away" from his desk!

Periodic Elements - very detailed and clear. Colors are commented on, frequently. As with any Retro pen I have owned, the twist to open/close is very smooth and quiet. No rattling parts. Multiple refill options are great as well.

Bought the ‘Dr. Gray’ as a gift but had to try it out first to make sure it worked! Wow, buttery smooth, uniform line and the weight and balance of the pen was a delight. There is some weight to it but not enough to impact longer writing sessions. The fit and finish is what you would expect from a quality pen such as this and the fact that this particular model glows in the dark is a cool and quirky bonus.Suppose I’ll have to get one for myself!

This is my first rollerball pen after a handful of fountain pens, and it is a joy to write with. The rollerball glides smoothly across any paper, and the ink is a dark, vivid black. Fountain pens are my first love but once in a while they aren't as convenient, so this beautiful pen is the perfect solution.

You can never go wrong with a Retro. I own over 100 of these. Fun to collect and use!
