For those who may own one did you have any issues right out of the box? Saw a YouTube Review on the pen and reviewer stated some issues though correctable.

LOL! "Show me the MONEY!" Thanks for the feedback. The Platinum fine sounds like its probably too fine for me. Too bad they don't sell the 3776 with a soft medium or soft broad.My soft fine is springy, but I wouldn't call it flexible or even semi flexible. Whether or not Rod Tidwell gets his money from it, I don't know.View attachment 949978

Cool, that's good to hear. What do you like about it? Does the nib feel like a true step up from a quality steel nib?Got my 3776 off Amazon as well, and no issues. Great pen!

Thanks. I really appreciate you writing that up. It sounds like the 3776 is a great pen, but probably not what I’m after for a gold nib. I guess I’d have to try one to really know.The 3776 gold nib (mine is medium) is not soft by any means, but it definitely writes smoother than any of my steel nibs. It works perfectly with the feed and produces a true medium line with just the right amount of ink.
By comparison, my Lamy 2000 medium nib (which is also gold) writes like butter, but it just about gushes ink, and thus produces a broader line. The down side, to me, is that there are times the nib seems too soft (feels numb). The 3776 nib feels nimble like a small sports car, while the 2000 feels soft and luxurious like a Cadillac from the 80's.
These are my two top pens, and I love each of them for different reasons. The Lamy 2000 is probably the more durable of the two. The 2000 is simple and understated, and the 3776 (mine is Chartres Blue) looks more elegant. The seal-in-cap design on the 3776 is better than Lamy's. The 2000 has a built-in converter, while the 3776 has the typical Platinum converter. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite between the two.
Hope that helps...
