Do I hear a drumroll Michael … not quite a ‘local find’ …😊 Enjoy your new mystery box…. 👍
Thank you mister P! I ordered a mystery box on IBood. From the looks it looks like I'm getting a lunch box 
@TheOneCalledMichael
Happy for you! Show us what you have got, I hope it Minceta ... I put myself in line couple of months back.
Unfortunately it's not minceta, for that set I have to wait till 2023 so I just chose one that I'd get in 8 weeks😞

Oh, don't worry anything from NOJ is interesting, we're all like quality stuff.
Oh cool, what I ordered was just a pen
The pics are just coming from the lab This is 1950 Dubrovnik in walnut / maple, unweighted and matte finish.

I don't understand why Minceta and Dubrovnik would have such different shipping times. If the pieces are made and on the shelf, then shipping would be immediate, and if they have to be made, then the time to fabricate should be close to identical.

Swiss cheese logic

This forum contaminating account has been closed. Hallelujah.
It feels like forever since I last contacted NOJ and put my name on the waiting list. I just checked my email. It's only been 3 months! Haha.

@TheOneCalledMichael I don't understand either. Are the photos in Post #24 and #33 of a newly received NOJ set you ordered? When did you place the order? Or did you order a pen?
The picture of the 1950 set in Post #33 looks like NOJ's "regular" glossy finish. How is the matte finish different? Is the difference too subtle to tell apart in photos? Does anyone have a photo where there is a side-by-side comparison of regular glossy and matte finish on the NOJ sets? Doesn't need to be Dubrovnik.
Tough to explain, call it Dutch humor lol. You'll get a pen as a gift when you receive your set. I ordered my set in Jan this year. I think I'm the first ever who ordered a matte finish from them, mister Eyechess just posted his Dub and I think you can clearly see the difference in the finish.
Edit: it's a really nice pen btw, made from wood (turned) and it has your name engraved on it.

@Pawnerai Which one are you getting?
I'm leaning towards the Dubrov Minceta. I still have 15 months to decide. I'll keep the color/finish a surprise
Guess what showed up at work today😊
