Parker Sonnet Dark Grey GT Gold Trim Rollerball Pen S0912460

I simply love this pen. It has a beautiful finish and I really like the gold accents. It has some weight to it but I don't mind, it makes it seem like a solid pen. As one would expect, it writes very well; the Quink is rich and dark and dries almost immediately. The case that was included was very nice as well, it would make a fantastic gift. I was lucky enough to pick one up for $40 on Amazon, I was pretty sure it was a pricing mistake and took advantage, but I would gladly pay twice that for this quality pen.

I honestly did not expect a lot from this pen, but I was pleasantly surprised. Perfect weight, girth and length. The ink flow is beautiful. It just feels right in your hand. Even though it has a little bit of weight, I find that I am able to write with it for extended periods without any strain. I also find myself simply holding on to it because it feels so nice. The photos do not do it justice. I truly love this pen. I own about 14 other high-end pens ranging from around $150.00 to around $300.00 each and none of them offer me the writing pleasure that I feel with this Parker Sonnet. Weird, but true.

I have it under good authority and I'm told that, as it turns out, INK IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN TRYING TO WRITE WITH A PEN!!!!!! My pen arrived today empty, no ink in the barrel of the pen, and no ink in the box in which the pen was packaged. This modern technological marvel known as ink that dates back to soon after the earth cooled, one would think, would be part of a fine writing instrument. Knowing this, and also having written with many a pen or two in the past, and having spent a fair amount of money on said item, I contacted Parker Pens and confirmed their pens should be sent with this crucial substance. I first talked with Amy. I was then transferred to Mary who, ostensibly, handles purchases not bought directly from Parker Pens, i.e., Amazon.com. I explained the issue and assured them I understood mistakes happen. Neither seemed at all surprised, which tells me this isn't an uncommon occurrence. Mary asked if I had contacted Amazon. I had not. Being a third party seller means you have to contact the THIRD PARTY since the only thing Amazon can do is issue a refund because they don't stock third party inventory (makes sense to me). After all, someone, or some machine, at Parker Pens packed (or didn't pack) the product. After some reluctance, for what reason I'm still not sure, and some gentle cajoling on my end, Mary agreed to send me a fine point black roller ball refill for my pen. Sweet Jesus, hallelujah. You would have thought I was asking for something undeserving and unreasonable. It's not as if I can't afford to buy a $5 or $6 refill, but you'd think the company would not only give you zero push back, but be anxious to make the situation right. It should have gone something to the effect of: "I apologize. Yes, you're right, mistakes do happen. Let me have your name and address and we'll get the ink right out to you. Is there anything else?" Instead, it was almost like: "Ink? You want what? Why do you want ink for your pen? You bought it from where? Amazon.com? Why are you calling Parker Pens? Call Amazon and see what they say. Oh, okay, if you insist...we'll make an exception just this once. Your name and address, please." So, for now, it is being alleged that I will be receiving what I should have received with the box--INK! Until then, I can only rate this fine writing instrument with one star and since I don't have the ink to color in more than one star, well, I guess I'm stuck! I will, however, report back to update my rating should my reluctantly sent ink arrive.

I spent a lot of money on this pen and ir arrived with a blemish in the finish. Otherwise its exactly what I expected from Parker. A beautiful, well weighted pen, that writes like butter on toast.

Lovely pen good finish. Replaced roller ball refill they provided with medium one as was narrow and the flow did not run smoothly for me. it is now perfect.For others I am sure would be great as is

This is a high quality Pen. The finish sparkles...the gold shines...and if you're in any business where you're asking clients to sign important contracts, offers, bids.....you should have a great pen. Your clients will notice. This is it...not too pricey...just right. Parker refills are widely available.

great gift -- whoever you give this to will truly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

This pen is handsome. It "flows" nicely. In fact I bought two. I travel by air regularly and both of them "exploded" due to the altitude such that I have not been able to use them again due to the ink around the shaft. So while this may actually be a function of the "Quink" rollerball ink cartridges licensed by Parker, I wanted to point this out.

Dieser Rollerball, in einem sehr schönem rot, war ein Geschenk für meine Mutter. Er liegt sehr gut in der Hand und er schreibt wirklich sehr schön und fließend (ohne kratzen). Er hat eine schwarze Miene. Die Verpackung macht einen edlen Eindruck. Kann ich jedem nur weiterempfehlen!

Most excellent

Fue un regalo y le gustó mucho a la persona

The pen is so beautiful, but I received it without an ink refill so i have to buy one so i can use it. Overall its nice.

Eran para regalar, compramos 2, y los receptores quedaron muy contentos. A quien no lo sepa, la carga viene escondida debajo de la bandeja en la que está el bolígrafo.
