Hi Everyone,

I signed up for Rolex forums a couple of years ago but don't know why it took me so long to participate.

Anyway, I have a Cartier fountain pen with a bent nib - totally my fault out of frustration. I was trying to use a certain ink brand which I found out later is a little thicker than others. When the ink would not flow, I bent the nib hitting the notebook (maybe I have anger issues). I am also left-handed which may put a damper on the ink flow.

I suppose I could send the pen back to Cartier for repair. If there are other suggestions, please PM me or respond as the forum allows.

Side note - I have a Parker 51 fountain pen that works great - never had a problem.

Thanks, Eric

Check with nibs.com. The name of the company is Classic Pens and John the owner is one of the best nib masters around.
