I just received an Omas Paragon Arco. It's a 2002 model.
My question is this: I thought the beautiful glowing wood-like colors were supposed to go all around the pen. On this pen there are two sides that exhibit the glowing, beautiful gold and brown colors, and two sides that are dark brown striped. Did I get a discolored Arco? Or is this normal? It's hard to show the dramatic difference in the colors in the photos, but hopefully you can see what I mean. Now, if I don't put the cap on just perfectly, nothing lines up. I am not happy with the coloration, because I expected it to be consistent all around the pen. I need to know if this is acceptable for Arcos or if I should send the pen back.
Here's what I expected the entire pen to look like:
Here's what two sides of the pen look like (dark brown stripes, no gold anything):
A close up of the dark brown striped portion:
Here you can see the dark brown stripes and on the edge the gold. There's no gradual movement from one color to the next. It's like I've got two sides with the golden Arco look and two sides that are pinstripe brown.
Thanks. If this is normal for Arcos, that's fine. I just thought the beautiful golden color was supposed to go all around the pen consistently.
