Overview

Lamy Dialog 3 Black Fountain Pen.

A lacquer body. From the Dialog family, the retractable-nib fountain pen Swiss designer Franco Clivio drew for Lamy in 2009: the first in which nib and clip retract together as the barrel is twisted, with a ball valve that seals the mouth on closing to keep the nib from drying out. It writes with a Lamy nib in 14k gold bicolour, filled by cartridge / converter and a twist-action retractable mechanism, with no cap. Finished with a clip palladium. Piece with official Lamy warranty.

Questions & Answers

Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?

All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.

What filling system does it use?

It is filled by cartridge / converter; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.

How is the nib protected without a cap?

Retracting it with a twist slides a ball valve across the pen’s mouth, keeping the nib from drying out.

How is the lacquer cared for?

Wipe it with a soft slightly damp cloth, avoiding solvents and abrasive products.

Is the colour uniform across the whole production?

Yes, the lacquer is factory-dyed in the same tone for the entire series.

What warranty does it carry?

It includes 3 years of official Lamy warranty.

Great pen, nib as in all reviews Fine writes as a Medium beautifully.
Be aware that the pen has a large diameter. Clip does not get in the way even though it protrudes. And does not dry out.
Still getting used to the twist mechanism, there is a subtle click when fully open or closed.
Using Jacques Herbin kyanite du Nepal shimmer ink. No issues starting or otherwise.
Overall pleased with the pen.

Stylo très agréable !

le poids et la taille ne rendent pas ce stylo inconfortable. Le mécanisme de "rétractation" de la plume très pratique. Le revêtement du corps du stylo est par contre plutôt fragile. Le convertisseur est correct mais pas exceptionnel, le remplissage pouvant être un peu long. La plume (B) est très douce et très "fluide." Attention, la taille B est vraiment très Broad... 😁

Siempre trabajo con plumas sin postear. Tener esta en la mano fue como coger un lápiz de carpintero recién estrenado. Sensación: es muy grande.
Todo se me olvidó al empezar a escribir, es una delicia que lo compensa y en un par de días ya ni reparas en el tamaño.

Dialog 3 with great customer service

Iguana is one of the few companies that allows you to actually put ink in the pen and try it out. This is particularly useful and important on pens that are expensive and pens that you can’t try out in a store near you Even though I did not keep the pen they did a great job in Helping me and providing everything I needed to send the pen back. Good customer service is very rare and my experience with them was one of the best. I keep them on my pen search list now
