Smooth and reliable

It's easy to see the value of these for Platinum 3776 Century pens and even for Platinum Plaisirs. They're also useful for Platinum Preppys even though they cost more than the pen. I still have several from almost 10 years ago, still going strong. I just needed some more to accommodate more colors.

Perfectly fits the Platinum Preppy pen. I am very satisfied with this converter.

Leaks Everywhere!

I recently bought one of these converters to go with my Platinum Procyon, and it is a mess! Every time I take the back of the pen off to refill the ink there is ink everywhere. I did some reading after I first experienced the issue and saw a large number of people over an extended timeframe all citing the same problem. It seems to me that it is a QC problem, as not everyone experiences it, but a large number do. So... buyer beware you might end up with a nice converter or you might end up with a dud (a messy dud at that).

It's a bit expensive, but it feels sturdy.

I will say, it's one of the more easier converters to clean in my experience. And the walls of the converter feel thicker than some.

Not a great converter.

Hard to twist/fill, didn't make for good flow, leaky.
