Cross AT0115-18 Calais Matte Metallic Midnight Rollerball Pen Including Gift Box - Blue

I'm a big fan of Cross pens, especially the Rollerball. I bought several as xmas gifts. This one was for a very special occasion and it didn't disappoint. The colour on screen didn't do it much justice...it's sleek, beautiful and very classy. It has an "easy to hold" grip (in black) which the "all chrome" ones don't have, thus making it comfortable, especially if you have to do alot of writing as part of your job. This was a huge factor when choosing. The Rollerballs are definitely worth spending the extra for, they're more superior than the ballpoint and it shows in the quality of your writing. I always shop around for the best price and special offers which I've always found here on Amazon!

Purchased this for my Dad who is normally very fussy with pens but he loves itQuite think but you can buy refills that are fine or extra fine if you want that thinner writing

Really nice premium feel, easy to write with. Might be too thick for smaller hands, but I love it.

I was given a black Cross Calais by a relative before moving to Europe from Rhode Island, USA, the home of Cross. It was made of stainless steel and had the most perfect balance of any pen I have ever used. The cap formed a seal as to prevent the ink from drying out over long periods of disuse, and it snapped onto the tail when in use as to maintain balance when in use.The new Calais [red for a change of ink - I bought red ink separately] is made of brass, which doesn't have the same balance in the hand. And, unless very firmly pressed onto the tail when in use, the cap spins loosely, threatening to fly off into space. When firmly pressed onto the tail, the cap is reluctant to rejoin it's closed position at the ink's head.I won't use the red as much as I will the black. But, I'll think hard about buying another Cross pen. The perfect balance is a thing of the past.Cross ink flows nicely, but I find the 0.7mm cartridge flows too easily, the line too thick for my taste. Ink cartridges now supplied by a Chinese manufacturer, however, means that cartridges of all widths can easily be replaced.

Very good quality pen.

Quality at an affordable price.

nice weight and pen

Was bought as an Ruby anniversary present. Pen was ok but box it came in was disappointing made it seem as a much cheaper item.

Very attractive pen, original, unique - don't see one everywhere.

This is a qualitynpen. It writes well, it is very well made... looks and works great!

This is a great, professional, and durable pen. The ink flows very well, smooth, and sharp. The ink does stay damp a bit longer than something like the Sharpie gel pen but is still good. The fit and feel are great.

I've always wanted a Cross pen and now I own one. This pen writes very nicely. The ink flows with the lightest of pressure which is very much what I was looking for in a pen. This pen is stylish, comfortable to hold, and well built. There is a sort of heft to this pen that you will not find in any cheap plastic pen. If you are looking for a pen that could possibly last you a lifetime with proper care then this is the pen for you.

Me ha gustado mucho y, tengo que reseñar que el repartidor de hoy ha sido una persona encantadora y muy profesional todo lo contrario que el repartidor de ayer. Les ruego que, a ser posible, indiquen mi gratitud al repartidor de hoy.
