Ordered the fine nib. Writes well. Was missing the bulb ink filler but customer service sent one when I let them know.
Received my order, was a little surprised to open it and find an orange pen with a flower design when I ordered a gray houndstooth, but it was still a Pilot Metropolitan. It writes very beautifully and I actually do like the second design, though naturally I'm not sure if it's the same nib I ordered because it's my first fountain pen and I don't have enough reference to tell. But I've tried it with multiple inks and I'm loving the experience, so it balances out.
This is an excellent pen for the money period. It’s great quality and I love I can and did buy the refillable cartridge to fill and reuse it again and again. Customer service was great too.
