*HELP!* As you can see from the video, the clip has come loose. I know *nothing* about fountain pens and live many hours from the nearest MB boutique, so I'm looking for your advice. Normally, I'd just take something apart to see how it works & go from there, but this thing was so stupidly expensive (it was a gift for my Sweetie) that I'm loathe to risk damaging it in any way.

I did use a jewelry tool of mine to gently tighten it from the inside of the cap, which actually helped for a few days until getting wiggly again. This is my Sweetie's favorite pen - carries in his pocket and signs dozens of documents a day.. but it's currently shelved to avoid further harm.

Should I trust one of those mail-in repair services? Take it to a local jewelry store? Try fixing it myself?

Would appreciate any guidance, resources, advice, opinions, etc.!
