Everything was perfect until I found some discolouration at the rose end of the barrel. Reached out to Jessica and will be sent a polishing cloth to buff the oxidation out myself. Considering its price, it was alittle disappointing but let's hope it will help. Fingers crossed.

LAMY dialog cc was a gift for my grandson. He was very pleased; it was one of his (many) grail pens!

The nib is absolutely fantastic, I like it more than my other gold nibs. The pen itself is very unique and the writing position is more comfortable than I imagined.

Overall, the CC is superb, EXCEPT for dry nib with fist write of the day - whether it be with a cartridge or filled converter - even though I make sure the nib closure is tightly secure. Definitely a frustrating experience especially for a LAMY. Never an issue with my Pilot Vanishing Point or Pilot Fermo.

Wonderfully designed and engineered pen that is perfectly suited for desk use. The twist mechanism is tighter than I anticipated, even after adding a slight bit of silicone lubricant. Perhaps in time the twist movement will more easily turn.

Fantastic pen from a fantastic company. I love the Dialogue CC. Writes very well.

This pen makes me happy every time I write with. It is great in all aspects. It is always in my bag. Love it

I love the pen! Its aesthetic and performance are outstanding. I normally prefer a fine Japanese nib, and the extra-fine Lamy nib was pretty close. It's still a bit thicker but in a good way!

*NOTE*
Please pay extra attention when closing the nib back into the body. You will need to ensure that when retracting the nib back in, it is fully closed. There should be no gap on the golden part of the inside. If there is, simply open the pen back up and close the nib slowly until:
1. Feel the click
2. The rose gold piece covering the nib is completely shut with no gap.

I apologize in advance for the long review, but ensuring you do those steps will prevent you from ever having any drying of the nib issues in the future!

This is now one of my favorite pens. It's got a nice feel in the hand and is nicely weighted for lots of writing.

My wife bought this pen from Goulet for myvChristmas gift in 2023. It has been in my regular rotation ever since. I really like the look, feel, and writing of this pen-- when it writes! Consistently dries out after 2-3 days. Then I have to try different things to get past the hard starts. I have tried different inks in the converter and Lamy cartridges. I really like this pen otherwise. Frustrating-- makes me want to just keep it on the shelf.

What I like about the pen:It's stunning to look at. The design is superb, simple yet elegant. The dark blue and gold color combination works exceptionally well. The saddle shape of the end cap is beautifully done and adds to the stunning lines of the pen. While some may miss a clip, I think it would have diminished the look of the pen. The minimalism of the pen is what makes it so special. The matte aluminum exterior is another feature I love.What I don't like about the pen:It's not a comfortable pen to write with for long periods of time. It is fairly heavy and surprisingly "girth-y" even though I have large hands. It's just hard to hold on to. Perhaps a slight taper of the grip section might resolve that. The smooth aluminum exterior (though it adds to the look of the pen) also makes it challenging to get a good grip on the pen. I have to hold the pen at the very end, with my fingertips close to the nib, to get a secure feel.Perhaps not unexpectedly, given the mechanism that makes it retractable, the pen tends to dry out. If I don't use it at least daily, I have to scribble on scratch paper for a moment to get it to write (I use Iroshizuku ink). I have no such issue with any of the other retractable models that I own (e.g. the Vanishing Point, Curida, Fermo). The nib is a bit wobbly, probably because of how far it extends from the pen. It's not a huge issue but just noticeable enough to be annoying (especially with a Fine nib, I want the utmost precision). It's rare that I would consider returning a pen but given the price point, lack of writing comfort, and the finicky nib, I may have to send this one back (which would be a shame because it is so beautiful to look at).

Beautiful pen and super smooth nib. Feels really good in the hand - solid yet not overly heavy. Love it.

This pen is very well made, with a unique style and great performance. Highly recommended.

While I hesitated to order this beautiful pen because it would be too girthy or too heavy, it is neither. It's definitely girthier and heavier than what I'm accustomed to, but I'm adjusting to the change. It's a beautiful piece--love the matte navy color and the rose gold trim--and a joy to use. The nib extends and retracts smoothly and I would be comfortable dropping it (in its leather sheath) into my bag.Goulet did a great job keeping me informed during the process without overwhelming me with texts or emails. Will definitely order from them again.

I came so close to pulling the trigger on this pen so many times, but the price held me back. Well, this time I pulled the trigger and I'm so happy I did. This is my current go-to pen (my Pilot Fermo is now a distant 2nd). So smooth and comfortable to write with. Just a joy.

overall a very nice pen. the nib writes beautifully, the mechanism is definitely cool. i like not having a clip as it gets in the way of my grip. would highly recommend this pen but of course, that's my take on it.

This is the best fountain pen I have ever owned. Goulet pens was very well timed and kept me updated every step of the way. Amazon took forever and I even had to cancel my order because of how long I had to wait. With goulet, it only took 5 days. I will gladly shop here again.

First using this pen I was blown away at how smooth and high quality all the components are. I let my coworkers use it and all their reactions were "woah" .. my negative thought about this pen is that It is extremely heavy and too big in diameter, definitely not for long writing sessions, mine is in medium nib and I did experience a lot of hard starts and random skipping which was frustrating at that price point

It is a bit heavy, I own several pelikan m605 and Waterman carene pen which is an amazing pen, I never had a retractable fountain pen. I also own a few Lamy fountain pen. So when I saw this pen while overseas at the Lamy shop, I tried it and I found it intriguing, I liked its originality and modern look. So I ordered it, and it came today. I filled it with waterman ink, and wrote on my Levenger paper which is a good quality paper. I noticed it is skidding, and the weight at first was ok, but after I wrote a few lines, I felt the weight. I am surprised no one else mentioned the weight. Coming from Pelikan M605 made with light resin, I realize now what a luxury it is to use a fountain pen that is light. As for my Waterman Carene, with gold nib, it is amazing and gives you full control of the pen and the writing. With this Lamy which I am still intrigued by, it will take some time to get used to it. If I am in a meeting and want to take notes, if it skids, then it is not good. I want to love this pen, and I want to use it. Prices vary depending on from where you buy it. So I am slightly disappointed overall. Back to the weight when you try it at first you don't realize how it will be after you write with it for a good five minutes, you feel the weight of it and the fatigue in your hand. So here is my honest opinion, and I am not gushing all over this pen that is for Lamy, one of their most luxurious fountain pen.

I love it. Everything from the lustrous finish (mine is blue) to the ingenIously engineered nib mechanism to the sheer heft of the thing � it is perfectly balanced. I initially feared it would be too big for me to hold comfortably for long writing sessions, as it does not narrow at the grip, but this fear was completely unfounded. It is a joy to write with. I may even be forced to buy a second one so I can use two colors of ink. It goes beautifully with J. Herbin inks, of which I already have a lot (and now I feel justified in buying more). Don't miss this pen.

I purchased an EF (which writes like a German fine or like a Japanese medium based on my opinion). That-being-said, I am having so much FUN writing with this pen! Love the twist mechanism, feels great in the hand, and lovely nib! This is my most expensive FP, and my favorite! (I do wish it was less expensive, but I really enjoy the whole writing experience so I'm not complaining! I do think I prefer it to my pilot capless pens (not apples to apples comparision, but they are similar-quick-release pens).). Enjoy!

On top of how gorgeous the pen itself is, it write so well its one of favorite pens to write with!

The dark blue dialog CC is better than I initially expected. There were relatively few reviews of this pen on youtube, so this was a bit of a gamble. But it turned out great! Going into this I knew I wanted a retractable nib that will be easy for my work but was turned off by the lack of clip on the CC. After some use, I can say that did not end up being an issue at all. It fits nicely in my shirt or pants pocket without too much weight. The pen weight is a bit more front-heavy than my cheaper fountain pens but I'm learning to adapt my writing style with it. As for the nib, it's my first gold and it writes like butter. Absolutely incredible but more appreciated on fountain-friendly paper (I have Clairefontaine). I got the Fine nib but the Lamy ink is a bit wetter than my other inks so if I had to choose again, I might go for an EF to adjust for the flow and accommodate for my very, very small handwriting style. Overall a great gift to myself and was extremely happy with Goulet Pens service and speed.

My first fountain pen was a Dialog 3. I still feel that pen is great but after using the Dialog CC for a week or so I definitely prefer the CC over the 3. The removal of the clip to simply having a roll stop is a huge improvement. Much easier hand placement and adds to the minimalist design. The clip on the 3 (sadly) is not as usable/functional as I had thought before purchasing it, so the CC fixes an issue I have seen many other owners mention too. The weight of the CC is noticeably lighter than the 3, and the weight of the CC is closer to what I think most people are familiar/expecting in a pen. While the CC is shorter than the 3, it is not anything too drastic, and the decrease in the weight of the CC still allows the pen to balance nicely. Definitely prefer the CC (but still enjoy my Dialog 3) and I will be interested to see if they add any other color schemes in the future.

First, this a very attractive pen with a unique closure mechanism. I purchased one with a fine nib and I am very pleased with the writing performance. I inked the pen with Pilot iroshizuku tsuki-yo and the nib glides across Rhodia 90 gpm and other similar papers. I do have a couple detractors: the pen is relatively heavy for it's size. It weighs noticeably more than a Montblanc 149 at 32 grams total weight compared to the Lamy at 44 grams. The finish on the pen though attractive is a little slick making me a bit concerned about possibly dropping it when not actually putting the nib to paper. These are not deal breakers, but worth noting.Overall, I think it is a fine writing instrument.

My out-of-the-box and used-for-three-days assessment is that this is one gorgeous and functional pen designed with handwriters in mind. As I prepared to ink it up for the first time, I unscrewed the barrel as instructed. No novelty there. It was when I began to unscrew the converter system that withdraws the nib and feed assembly for ink filling that I realized I was looking at and experiencing top-notch machining and tolerances. The Dialog CC's pen guts are as nothing I've ever before experienced. Reassembly after inking was equally impressive. I gave the barrel a twist, the ball valve retracted and the nib glided into place. It's eerily like being around a Minuteman missile silo in launch mode. As I put nib-to-Rhodia, the writing experience was of a glassy glide. The pen feel is much like that of the Pilot Custom 823. Interestingly, the Custom 823 unposted is the same length as the Lamy with its nib exposed. I own two Lamy gold nib pens: the 2000 and the Dialog CC. Both are of world-class design and atypical pens of extraordinary quality at their respective price points. If you find the former to be attractive, meet its impressive cousin.Whooeee!

I wanted this pen in the blue but it was sold out so I got the white. It's still beautiful and very smooth. I got F nib works nicely. It has great weight. Like all lamys, it works great. I love it.
