Montblanc Red Gold 149 Obbb

[zaddick]

My O3B red gold 149 just arrived today! Definitely love it! I'm also from EF to O3B, never regret the choice. Simply can't go back once you try the broad nibs...

Congratulations on your new pen and a new world opening up. In time you may find space for both EF and O3B in your rotation, but for now enjoy the broad side.

This just stunningly beautiful

Ugh. Man. You people are gonna be bad news for my pocketbook.

 

I've got a 149 F/M...something like that now. Seller said F but it seems broader than that. It's my daily driver, and it's a great writer. Pretty much all of my pens are F or M.

 

However, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for an OBBB. I know that I had a chance to trial one in a boutique, and out of all the pens there, THAT one felt the best. Made me chuckle with delight. One day...

Sleebus - a mere $364 or so to send yours for a nib exchange. OBBBs on eBay and here tend not to be so cheap(!)
