I used this pen for years until I misplaced it somewhere.  The fine nib was too fine for me but I found the med flowed a little too quickly / thicker than I like.  I had a problem with one & it was replaced by Cross for free I believe though someone here mentioned a processing fee - if there was one it wasn't enough to upset me!  I replaced it with an inexpensive one but I'm considering picking up a Century Classic, Townsend or Spire.  I have had several Century Classic sets (ballpoint, rollerball) too - they make excellent pens & stand behind their product - now if I could only stop losing them!
