Montblanc 149 Broad Nib !

[ASL]

Hello dears,

 

I come back to comment on "Goldnibs" and the operation they did to my MB 149 re-tipping it to Broad I/O originally fitted Extra Fine Nib.. I must admit, I was very frustrated and worried to deliver the pen to Goldnibs but the exaggeration of MB charging $ 325 to swap the nib made me take the risk and try Goldnibs !

In a very short statement, I can confirm they are very professional and they do the work exactly as requested. I am very happy with the results & my beautiful 149 is back safe and sound without a single scratch and now it writes wet and broad .. I strongly recommend Goldnibs Spain. The only drawback they have no contact numbers to call them as I was travelling between Europe and wanted to arrange the delivery, they only respond to emails, however, I managed & gave them a friend's address in Spain and they shipped it there.

Thanks to all of you and thanks to Goldnib Spian.. Mission Accomplished

ASL, thank you for posting your pictures.

Looks like Goldnibs did a "fine" job changing the EF tipping to a broad B. I am glad that this nib adventure worked out for you.

Happy writing!

Actually it took me sometime to decide on the color I wanted to use with my MB 149, I tried many colors but I felt in love with the Pelikan Turquoise 4001 .. MB doesn't offer nice ink colors at a competitive price besides their regular ones ( Royal Blue, Midnight, etc ) are standards and a bit boring to me.. Pelikan got a very cheerful & wide selection of ink colors at cheap prices, average Euro 4.- for 30ml bottle .. I almost purchased all colors while in Germany last week !!!! But again their Turquoise is my favorite

 

For your quick & easy reference, I am posting here two photo for some of there ink color varieties plus the particular one you liked .. hope this helps

 

PS: You should also their Brilliant Red.. its amazing too.
