After about a year of use, the point where the replacement goes in and punctures broke, causing ink to leak uncontrollably inside and outside the pen. I can't understand how it happened because I had changed the replacement over a week ago and didn't encounter any problems. Just one day, I opened the cap and ink had leaked everywhere. When I unscrewed it to clean it, the broken piece was stuck in the replacement and I only used Parker replacements from a bookstore. I hope I was just unlucky.

I have this specific pen and I am not satisfied at all. Both pens broke where the cap holds and ink was leaking without me even hitting it. For my first pen, it took 3 weeks for the replacement to reach the company in Athens and 2 days for them to check it. I didn't even bother trying with the second pen. Very poor construction quality, especially at the point where the cap holds.
