I found the pen in good operating condition..and enjoyed the feel and writability. BUT less than a week into operation the click mechanism( at the pen top which exposes the ball point of the pen below)failed and I cannot get it to function in the "write" position. I just chalked it up as a waste.

My favorite pen...writes smooth and has the feel of a much more expensive pen. It a very nice looking pen..I would say pretty, but then the men might not want to get it. But it is a great pen for men and women. If you like a fine writing pen, then this is the pen for you.
