I’m so surprised how these well made, nice looking and great writers are priced! What a deal. I have 6, I believe, and love each one. I enjoyed your review. Thank you.
Classy pen for sure.. I’d have liked a gold trim on brushed chrome though ! I’ve a Jinhao 35 (my only Jinhao) and I’m pretty impressed with it.. I’ll buy a 100 Centennial someday as a “Not so rich man’s Parker Duofold” !
I have a Jinhao X450 too, but I feel that the 'gold' trim looks a bit chintzy, cheap-looking. It might be something like Titanium Nitride, but doesn't feel or look quite right to me. That's why I got the X750. There is no real right to get upset though in my opinion, as the prices are pretty damn good, and the pens write well.
They certainly are nice writers, and I like the grip section better than the faceted X450. I'm looking forward to inking mine up again when it's turn comes around. Have a great day and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My older Jinhao X750 has a cheaper converter, and I haven’t yet found a converter that stays in place; it comes loose with the slightest jar. Nice review!
According to the eBay description, the main body of the pen is brushed stainless steel with polished chrome trims. Either way, this particular version of the X750 is a beautiful pen and has unbelievable value for the money. I would personally buy a better quality converter though.
This is a lovely writing pen. I've been using it now every day writing screeds of stuff for a teaching coursing I'm undertaking. But the only fly in the ointment is that the paint has started flaking, starting from where the clip touches the body, on the cap, and spreading. The body-paint has started to swell a little bit, as if preparing to flake too. I have had this pen for several months now. I live in Bali, Indonesia, so it is tropical, and I have a suspicion that perhaps a combination of heat and moisture, and maybe friction in my backpack from where I clip it into an internal pocket, is causing this. I would suppose if there was a stainless-steel unpainted version, this wouldn't be an issue. Has anyone, including reviewers come across this? Could Jinhao be made aware of this possible 'outlier' problem?
That's terrible news about your pen. Even though they aren't expensive, it is still hard to see a favorite pen deteriorate like that. I would recommend, when you're able, to get a brushed chrome version as reviewed. I hope others share their experiences as well.
@@thepenman357 Yes, thank you for commiserating. I had it in mind to buy a brushed chrome version. And I dare say, that if I keep my present one long enough, with the paint gone, it will be just that!
@@mauricegold9377 The painted ones have oxidized brass under the painting. I know this because one of my old Jinhao 159s chipped and the coating started to flake off. I quite liked the aesthetic because it looked like the pen was a real workhorse.
Are you referring to the cap turning? Or the cap turning and unscrewing the grip section? I haven't had any problems with the pen disassembling on me, if that is what you're asking.

Yes, I'll be keeping an eye out for possibly buying some more. They are nice pens. Thanks for watching.

I have a Diplomat Traveler that is gold on chrome and looks very nice. Great idea.

I have a couple of these and really like them

@@mauricegold9377 :D hopefully it will turn out that way. That would save you a few dollars, anyway.

is it normal for this pen to continue moving the pen casing even when it is closed?
