Guys, before I blow a cork, take a look at this centerband on the Jr. Statesman and tell me if this is a "new plating" of black-ti that has no gloss and is not even close to the same as my old one or the rest of the new kit.
A little background. CSUSA was nice enough to replace my pen due to the Rhodium plating pitting. The first replacement had a minor mess up due to both of us, I did not mention that it was a non-post pen and they did not ask. I guess I could live with that, but the big issue was that the centerband did not have any black-ti plating. Well, today the new one came in the same way!!
Tell me that I am wrong and this is the "new kit" but it look like garbarge! The band is no where even close to the same as the kit. You would think they would of checked the kit, I even suggested they check the stock to see if they had more like this.
Is it just me?? Or is this defective? I have to wait until Monday to call them, but this can't be the way they make them now, is it??!!
Digging in the photos I found this good photo of what my old pen looked like. Did they change from what I had to what is seen above?
Thanks Jim!
