## Description

From the manufacturer Over 170 Years Of Making Marks The Cross brand was founded by jewellery makers and artisans of usable luxury, and has been crafting fine writing instruments for years in the Western world. Today's Luxury Collection is the culmination of this pursuit. It includes four iconic Cross designs in precious metals like silver, gold and platinum as well as beautiful details like inset precious stones. This unique and timeless collection is recognised by its 'X' Authenticity Mark. Bailey Collection Executive quality and style Bailey was designed with an eye for detail. From its multi-grooved chrome centre ring with patterned engravings to its sleek, modern clip, it exudes a distinct style that’s sure to be noticed. Traditional, well-balanced design Distinctive cap-over-barrel styling Multi-grooved centre ring with deep-cut engraving accents Patented twist-action propel/repel feature Specially formulated Cross ink flows flawlessly for a superior writing experience WRITING TYPES Ballpoint Pen The Ballpoint is the most popular tip technology and, in many ways, the simplest. A Ballpoint pen uses a small rotating ball made of carbide to disperse ink as you write. This ball acts as a buffer between the material you’re writing on and the ink inside the pen. The ball rotates freely and rolls out the ink as it is continuously fed from the ink reservoir. Ballpoint Pens are not capped, but instead retract and store via a rotating mechanism in the barrel. Low maintenance and easily refillable, the Ballpoint Pen is the option for the everyday pen user. Selectip Rollerball Pen Our most versatile tip technology is proprietary to Cross, and is known as Selectip Rolling Ball. A Selectip allows you to 'select' the kind of refill you want to use in this writing instrument from the following options - Gel Rolling Ball: A mix of Ballpoint ease of use and the elegance of Fountain Pen ink-flow - Jumbo Ballpoint: Ballpoint technology with a bolder, fuller write-out - Porous-Point: Most commonly known as a Flair or Marker Point) The inks in a roller ball are generally aqueous based. This results in a smoother, fluid (or wet) lay-down of ink similar to a Fountain Pen. Aqueous based inks, due to their fine fluidity, also tend to dry out quicker, thus care must be taken to always cap, or retract, Selectip pens between uses. Unlike Ballpoint Pens, most Selectip Pens have a separate cap which prevents the ink from drying during storage. Fountain Pen One of the oldest styles of writing instrument, fountain pen nibs actually adapt to your own personal grip and writing style over time, creating lines on the page that — like your signature — are all your own. Ink flows by capillary action from an ink reservoir to the fountain pen nib, which is the delicate split metal mechanism which contacts the paper. A favourite of the true connoisseur, fountain pens are each a work of art in their own right. Cross offers nibs in two widths: Medium & Fine.

Review: Cross Bailey - the best ballpoint I own - I bought one of these pens for my wife and was so impressed with is, I bought one for myself. A well made ballpoint pen with a brass skeleton encased in a smooth plastic barrel skin which you rotate to reveal/retract the nib. It is a well balanced pen and the shape, thickness of the barrel and heft inspires confidence when writing. Ink coverage is even and the writing action smooth. To replace the ink you have to separate the barrel from the top of the pen (the part which holds the clip) by pulling the two parts away from each other in a smooth but reassuringly resistant action, this reveals the top of the refill (black plastic) which you unscrew from the silver-coloured metal housing, insert the refill and reverse the action to put the pen back together. The pen deserves 5 stars, but there is one (small) thing which I think would make it even better: the word CROSS is stamped on the clip and if you are right-handed it reads CROSS when writing. However, if you are left-handed, as I am, it reads CROSS upside-down. I wrote to Cross suggesting they stamped their clips with the word CROSS, vertically, but was told it is complicated changing the template. A small point but minor improvements are improvements. I still give it 5 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instruction sheet needs improvement.
*by J***D on 7 April 2018*

This is a really beautiful pen and is fully deserving of five stars. My only quibble is regarding the instruction sheet that comes with it. The print is very small, in a number of languages and covering a range of products, not just this one. Looking at the pen, and ignoring the instructions, it is pretty clear what you have to do to change the refill and replace it with a new one, but it wasn't that easy! The old one didn't want to budge and I was on the point of using a pair of pliers to get it out when it finally decided to unscrew. What should have taken a few seconds took about ten minutes because the refill was screwed in so tight and I didn't want to risk damaging the pen. Apart from that the pen is brilliant!
