I recently received a Bexley Prometheus and I'm reasonably happy with it, with some reservations. I got the medium nib and it writes very smoothly. (Earlier, I participated in the Massdrop for the Bexley Imperial and had to settle for the fine nib, which I find too scratchy for my liking. I'm sending it off for a cursive italic grind and we'll see what happens.) Both the fine and medium nibs seem to need an occasional twist of the piston to get enough ink into the feed--a minor annoyance that I can't figure out. It is also a HUGE pen, but that's on me because I had the specs. I did want to alert you that there's a lot of variation in patterns if you choose one with swirls. I got the Purple Sands and, as you can see, there is almost no purple on the barrel and as a result, hardly any chatoyance on the pen. Since I am using the pen unposted, that means I'm not looking at any purple when I write. I was really disappointed when I first received the pen, but I'm learning to like it since this is the one I got. I'd rather have a pen with too few swirls than too many, but if this matters to you, proceed with caution. The colors are lovely and I find the cream-colored background somewhat vintage-looking and appealing. Overall I'd give this pen a B- when factoring in the Massdrop price--there are better pens for the money, but this pen has its charms and it's a bit different from the run-of-the-mill brands you see everyday.

Almost same price as a montegrappa but not the same. I suppose the top and bottom sections are plastic screwed or joined but not metal screwed which is more durable

Bexley pins suck! Their nibs are terrible and dont feed well at all. Plus you can get these for $50 off their ebay webpage and they are not worth that!

I have had a really bad experience with Bexley's customer service and would never purchase another pen from them.

This time I managed to get the Saphire with a Fine nib. I see that I’m the only one signed up so far, so I hope the drop goes through.

Who wants to hold their pen by the screw on cap threads?! get yourself a Cross Botanica and a converter for half of the price.

Would have joined but no XF or F in the color ways I like. I wanted the Mint chip.

I wanted the sapphire chip with Fine nib, and since I was the first to sign up for the drop I figured I had a pretty good chance. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it was sold out. To whom? I was the first one on there. Oh well. At that price I won’t settle for something I don’t want.

The sapphire chip looks nice. I'd love purple in the same pattern.
