And now, three years later, Platinum has announced the release of some new variations of the Curidas in the next weeks.
This new Curidas departs from the transparent look of the first models an adopts what looks like a rubbery sheath. The color options are limited to three –black, blue and red. The nib points are reduced to F and M, leaving EF for the original model.
The price of this newer version is higher—JPY 9000 vs JPY 7000, prices without taxes. However, the new package includes the converter and a 20 ml inkwell.
But the important question now is whether Platinum has solved the problems present on the first model released in 2020.
NOTE (April 25th, 2023): This new release of the Platinum Curidas is called Curidas Depth. The package including the inkwell is a limited release.

What problem are you referring to? thanks.
Thanks, Anonymous, for passing by and commenting.
There is a common problem in the Curidas at closing the lid to seal the nib chamber. The result is a dry nib. It is associated to fails in the sliding mechanism to release the nib.
Hope this helps.

I have been using my Curidas daily for 2+ years. Works well for the most part. The nib dries out a little faster than I would like but otherwise very happy.
Congratulations, Anonymous, but I guess your drying problems might be caused by a deficient sealing of the nib chamber.

With the higher price this seems a lot less attractive to me. Might as well just spend a bit more and get a Pilot Capless.
No hole is deep enough to finally bury this impossible to kill monstrosity!
Thanks, Hastur, for passing by and commenting.
A lot better than the Curidas might be the Moonman/Majohn A1 I reviewed last December (https://estilofilos.blogspot.com/2022/12/moonman-vs-pilot.html).
