New guy to writing instruments

[little Big feather]

I'm new to pens, but I'm really into watches. I have two watches from Xezo and have found them to be
high quality at a very good price...So last week I picked up a pen set. I like the ball point. The quality
seems to be there as I have found in the watches. If you haven't heard of them....Maybe you'd like to look?
I have the Architect

I've not used it...Last time I used a fountain pen was close to 50 years ago!! The ballpoint is very good, came with a German refill from SCHMIDT.
Never heard of them b/4.

That probably means that your pen takes a standard international converter http://www.gouletpens.com/Standard_International_Cartridge_Converter_p/pr131.htm. Schmidt makes those also. Dose your pen have one inside? I say throw some ink in her and give her a spin!

The fountain pen came with five ink carts. and a refillable bladder thing.

I have one rollerball that takes Schmidt refills. Pretty good. Yours is definitely a ballpoint, though?

Definitely you owe it to yourself to try that fountain pen. No idea how good that kind is, but let us know. If you like it, it will be cheaper in the long run to use the converter with some kind of bottled ink, but there's no sense in wasting the cartridges.

Welcome to The Nib, and enjoy your pens!

Honestly...I don't know...I call it a ball point pen....I'm not sure...
