This pen is incredibly beautiful. A bit brighter red in person and overall even more stunning. The nib writes smoothly and flows well. It wrote out of the box for me. A bit cap heavy if posted, but otherwise a superb pen.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most beautiful pens I own
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

My darling husband gave me this pen (after I blatantly stated that I wanted it; no subtle hints here) for my upcoming birthday. My birthday is in January, and since Garnet is the birthstone of this month, and I love red wine, this all corresponds with the beautiful wine color and theme of this gorgeous pen. I don't think I'll soon get a birthday gift to compete with this one! I got the Medium nib, and of course, it writes like a German or an American fine point. I haven't left it alone and unused for more than a couple of days at a time, but every time I open it, it starts writing flawlessly, immediately, and with no hesitation. There is absolutely no drying out of the ink in the feed or nib; even when I sit and hold it open for a while, contemplating my next thought. And the way it writes: beautifully, with the tiniest, most pleasant bit of tooth, but so smoothly at the same time, you wouldn't think it was possible. I inked it up with a perfectly matching ink: J. Herbin Rouge Bourgogne, which gives it a nice, wet flow, without any blobs or skips.

The 14K gold nib is heaven to write with. It has a very nice spring and makes my normally-loopy handwriting look very pretty! And the color of this pen is awesome; when I hold it up to the light, it looks like a rich Cabernet or Pinot Noir, or, I don't know, perhaps its namesake, a Burgundy! It is only slightly translucent; you can get a hint at the inner workings, but they're not obviously visible. The deep red color takes on a different appearance, depending on your light source. It's just plain gorgeous.

I highly recommend this pen to anyone who appreciates fine pens. It is a joy to behold and to use. I've put this at the top of my favorite pens list (it's a tie with my Pelikan M200 EF-nib pen). This is definitely the best birthday gift I've ever received.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good first impression, will update on performance.
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018

The overall fit and finish of this pen is excellent. I have a standard Sailor 1911 with a Fine nib, and my impression of both pens is that the Sailor 1911 has an edge over the Platinum #3776 Century in that aspect. Nevertheless, both pens are well constructed and I've selected them for everyday use based on their reputations for quality.
Unfortunately, my #3776 Century arrived as an Amazon fulfillment without an ink cartridge as advertised, so I am unable to post a review regarding the pen's performance until the Platinum converters I also ordered arrive next week. I took a star off for this omission. I will update this review once I've had the opportunity to actually use the pen.
Update 1/28: Today I finally had the chance to try out this pen after I received my replacement order of converters (my first order disappeared somewhere over the Pacific and remains a profound mystery). After inking up with Sailor Jentle Blue-Black ink, I gave it a test run. It's unbelievably smooth. It is a wetter writer as compared to my Sailor fine nib, and this may contribute to its smoothness. Its medium nib glides across even the cheapest of ruled notepads with the least amount of pressure. One curious aspect of its nib which I'll mention here is that it "talks back", i.e. it sounds like you're writing with a goose quill, and yet there is absolutely no detectable scratchiness or friction. Just silky smoothness. It's actually a pleasant sound, like you're writing with a fine nibbed pen and not with a disposable ballpoint or rollerball pen. Based on this satisfactory outcome, I'm editing this review and increasing my rating of the Platinum #3776 Century with Medium nib to 5 stars.

The Platinum #3776 Century Bourgogne with a medium 14k nib is a beautiful writer! Gorgeous to look at, and lays down a beautiful, precise line.
This fountain pen 'sings' while it writes, giving an extremely pleasant 'feedback' when touched to paper. There is bounce or 'give' when writing, but NOT true flex (the tines do NOT easily separate or widen, so don't push it, but the nib gives at the tail, where it's held friction fit between feed and section.) The bourgogne is a beautiful deep wine red, transparent, but so dark as to not be easily seen through. The slip and seal cap does indeed work very well, to keep the ink from drying out, so no hard starts or wasted ink. I can use a so-called 'dry' or problematic ink in it because of the slip and seal cap. It is a somewhat a 'dry' writer, in that the ink flows smoothly and evenly, but doesn't gush, so no blobs on the paper. For me, of the Japanese BIG 3 pen companies, the Platinum 3776 is my favorite. Excellent nib choices to suit every taste. This is an excellent value , especially when purchased directly from a Japanese seller, but do know you must order a converter separately. There may be a small wait time in shipping, but it's well worth it. I like this pen so much, I hope to purchase another!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful fountain pen
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

As I mentioned in a review of the Chartres Blue, these Platinum Century 3776 fountain pens are my favorite. As with the Blue, so too with the Bourgogne, the Amazon photo on this page simply cannot capture the true color and its beauty. These are not demonstrator pens and there is nothing cheap about the production or resin. They are beautiful pens.
I have this pen with a medium nib. My Chartres Blue has a broad nib. The Blue wrote perfectly right out of the box. The Bourgogne, however, was not as smooth in the beginning. It was a little toothy and more so than I was comfortable with. However, after a day or so of writing with the pen, it smoothed out very well and now is just fine. As with all Japanese nibs, this one writes thinner than a Western medium. It writes more like a fine. Remember though that the ink one uses can also influence the width of the line.
The pen is beautiful and writes smoothly. It is one of my favorites and is always in my pen rotation. I highly recommend it.

Although a beautiful pen, there is really nothing special about how it writes. The nib is very stiff and doesn't have the soft, smooth glide one would expect out of a gold nib. My Pilot Metropolitan and Kaweco AL Sport (both steel nibs) are far smoother and, therefore, produce far nicer handwriting.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is mightier than a sword
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2019

Actually it's probably not mightier than a sword because I think the nib is a bit too soft to do any real damage, so if you find yourself in a swashbuckle on a pirate ship then you should reach first for your sword and only go for your Platinum 3776 if you have remembered to use poison-pen ink and have sharpened the nib.

But if you want to write with it, then this is perfect.

I have been using the 3776 since 2016 (I paid about fifty-five pounds for it) or so as my daily pen. I've thrown away all the ball points and now I use this. It is awesome. The nib is a medium. I think now I'd prefer a flex nib. the medium is ever-so-slightly uniform; a bit too uniform for my tastes, but meh that's the pen for you.

It never clogs, it always runs well. It never dries out. The nib is still in good condition.

It's a good weight and a good balance.

The only negative aspect of the pen is that it does not automatically improve your handwriting, despite what you might think.

And it's utterly useless in a sword fight.

WOW, what a pen, a beautiful piece of art, first of all it came with a cartridge ( black), a good converter in a blue box although the outer cover was damaged a little bit due to very bad packing.
Pros: 1) Butter smooth writing.
2) No feedback, what I heard in youtube
3) Excellent Flow
4) Not too dry/wet
5) Very balanced.
6) Small amount of line variation.
7) Medium Nib writes like an European fine.
CONS: 1) I have been searching.
I will let you know if found something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr schöner Füller, unschlagbarer Preis
Reviewed in Germany on July 2, 2018

Dies ist mein erster Platinum-Füller und ich bin schwer beeindruckt von der wirklich sehr guten Verarbeitung. Der Füller ist perfekt ausbalanciert und liegt sowohl mit als auch ohne aufgesteckter Kappe gut in der Hand (wobei ich hier lieber "unposted" schreibe). Die Farbe ist ein sattes, wunderschönes Weinrot, das fast durchsichtig ist - aber eben nur fast. Es ist kein "Demonstrator"-durchsichtig... eher ein "semi-solid". Der Füller schimmert wie ein edler Rotwein, "Bourgogne" halt. Ich bin froh, dass ich mich für die rote Variante entschieden habe und nicht für das blaue "Chartres"-Gegenstück (das aber sicher auch traumhaft schön ist).

Der Clip macht einen stabilen Eindruck, was für mich allerdings weniger von Interesse ist, da ich keine Füller an irgendeine Hemdtasche klemme.

Die Feder war anfangs sehr störrisch und hatte einen "dry start", was mich sehr verwundert hat. Kenne ich von japanischen Füllern so eigentlich nicht, aber ein paar Mal beherzt geschüttelt und die Tinte lief. Und dann ist die Feder ein Traum und gleitet butterweich über das Papier, kein Kratzen, kein Stocken, und ich freue mich auf den Einsatz bei längeren Texten. Bitte bedenken: wie alle japanischen Federn ist hier das M eher ein F, das sollte man unbedingt im Hinterkopf behalten!

Allerdings - definitiv ein Wermutstropfen - lag der Verpackung nur eine einzelne Tintenpatrone und kein Konverter bei. Hatte ich mir schon gedacht und Konverter dazu geordert. Der kommt nun aber von einem anderen Händler und ich muss noch ein wenig warten, seufz. Bis dahin schreibe ich die mitgelieferte Patrone einfach leer...

Dann will ich meine Füller-Sammlung um ein schönes Stück erweitern und freue mich, dass ich einen so schönen Füller zu einem so tollen Preis ergattern konnte! Ach so, ein Wort zum Versand: einwandfrei! Kam sogar sehr viel früher an als erwartet. Arigato gozaimasu!!!

Klare Kaufempfehlung und 5 von 5 Sternen.
