Thanks Blake; the President is one of my favorite pens. Fortunate to have the blue version which I really like. I also really like the look of the nib.

I have the very same burgundy pen myself. With the 18k Coarse (C) nib. I bought mine new, nearly three years ago, directly from Japan for $200 incl. shipping. Fair deal, really. The 18k nib is indeed stiffer than even the 14k. But my C nib is a lovely, genuine double broad really, so it is very smooth and consistently lays down a copious amount ink on the page. A marvelous writer, all round. To me, the President does look and even feels a little more premium quality in hand compared to the standard 3776s. So, I’d say that if one were only going to get just the one resin bodied Platinum pen, I’d recommend the President over the 3776. This pen is a fantastic first gold nib pen of choice that I’d readily recommend. Platinum’s music nib is the best music nib I’ve used yet. On another note, I wish the upscale Izumo and the Nakaya pens used distinct gold nibs (14k/18k) of their own, instead of the ones found on their comparatively cheaper pens like the 3776 and the President. I also always wished the celluloid 3776s were at least identical in size dimensions as the regular resin pens. The skinnier aesthetic of the celluloid pens is definitely something that still saddens me. However, your gorgeous blue & white celluloid 3776 is one that I’ll always covet. The price just breaks my heart. And it’s not exactly easily available anymore either. Ace review, as always. Thanks!

I didn't know Platinum made a Coarse. My recently acquired Pilot 67 I got to try a Coarse, and to me it is a . Perfectly round. Love it.

@@ichirofakename Platinum often offers the C nib (mainly in Japan) for many of the 3776 pens, the President. and other models. I’ve seen the flagship Nakayas and Izumo occasionally offered with the C nib, too. It’s a truly wonderful nib. Maybe not a practical daily writer for most people. But I’m not one of them. The very generous BB (at least) line width is quite a thrill to use. I vaguely recall seeing Waski do a comparison video of several different nibs on his 3776s, which included a Coarse nib. I’m also quite besotted with Sailor’s Cobra nib. ❤️ Just a unique, peerless writer.

I’m not a fan aesthetically of this style of pen, but it really does seem to write nicely! It is a lot more in this broke girl’s price point and definitely is one I would consider for my next splurge.

If the style isn't to your liking maybe there is another Platinum pen you would prefer? In the $100+ price point they will all have similar writing qualities.

1. My go to Japanese pen store currently has the President at $200. Can you reveal where you found it for substantially less? 2. It is SO similar to the 3776, seems insanish to produce both models.

@@ichirofakename Yea, the price Blake mentioned makes the President, in my opinion, a pen that is inexcusable not to buy if one really likes it. And while largely very similar, the President’s resin and finish definitely somehow feels slightly superior to me than the standard 3776s. Then, the 18k nib instead of the 14k. The 10th Anniversary LE 3776 pen is my favorite of the lot. The nib has a new, different, nicer design - and more importantly, feels like an even nicer writer. Alas, double the price, too.
