Looking at them, the Rotring Side-Knock and the Pentel Windom look remarkably alike. Same tip, same connection at the mid-body knock. The endcap is different because of the button for the watch function.

How do the interior mechanism compare?

When I get home tonight, I’ll get some pics

You’re supposed to ask if your Platinum Angle is genuine or fake.
