Mother of Pearl snowcap. Just wanted to share a beautiful photo of it

Very nice!

Always difficult to capture the shimmering of the pearl

And here the picture of the perfect delivered package unwrapped.

 

 

 

 

I had the cover for the Iphone 6 (regular version). I have to say the leather still looks like new after 2 years of usage.

Now I changed to Iphone 7 plus and the good thing is this time there are 2 card slots and a space for some papermoney in it. So when on a short travel all I need is my phone with drivinglicense and creditcard.

 

Very happy with it.

 

Thanks Mr. Appelboom for delivery at my office!

Perfect as always!

You didn't say how much... I'm wondering if the Hong Kong service centre could help me.

 

At the moment I find reverse writing on the fine gives a really good fine italic, but with too much feedback and without the spring. To grind or not to grind...

 

The service was complimentary, as I purchased the 1912 only a couple of weeks ago

 

 

 

It's been a difficult few days and I wanted to wait for the right time to be properly psyched about it

 

**whisper** Its matching OBBB nib is scheduled to follow 2-3 weeks form now

 

 

 

Very nice piece to add to the collection, congratulations!

 

The BH Skeleton is my current grail, was very close last year but opted for a watch instead

 

Do you use the black widow 88 often, would love to see it inked

Finally picked up my Andy Warhol.

 

Detail on the pen cap is amazing:

The packaging is pretty impressive too!

Thank you for the nice images.

It looks like a beautiful pen to use.

I'm glad that you finally received it.

What size is the nib?

Tom K.

[da vinci]

Tom, the nib on the Warhol is a standard medium. I know you like your nibs very broad

 

I have a 149 in a BB which is the broadest nib I own - it is not my preferred writing pen as the nib stroke is just too broad for every day use. I prefer the B size in my 145 and coral Rouge et Noir, although my favourite nib of all time is the BB nib in an older 144 - it writes perfectly with a little line variation.

MB cases for my iPhone 7 and iphone 7+. Very appealing and grand to hold.

I keep calling my local boutique to get me a bottle of lucky orange... I think I'll buy it online.

[Ghost Plane]

Thanks for the shot of the Warhol. Been wondering how the body looked.

A small bottle of MB Ultra Black ink. I'm typically a Midnight Blue guy but wanted to try something new from MB.

[Axis]

Well, I got a Nikolai - although I am usually more into silver, with this pen I prefer the gold/green combination to the silver/green.

It's a full set with M nib, never used.

That's a gorgeous pen.

Thank you for sharing the photos.

The gold/green combination is elegant.

Un-inked, no less.

What a find!

Enjoy!

What a gorgeous pen! Congratulations Axis. This is one piece I have always fantasized having but never got the right opportunity. Enjoy it, its a beauty.

Thank you, Tom and Pravda - next find is coming in tomorrow

I just cannot resist...

My winter ski holldays in Italy-Kronplatz 08-16.January 2017,(Plan de Corones), South Tyrol, but in fact belongs to Republic of Italy...one day, 13 January, it was a bad storm on the slopes, so ski area was closed due to safety reasons. We decided to visit a city of Bressanone(Brixen), the Medieval set of Bishops. Nice city, indeed!

While looking for some bar where we can enjoy in Italian espresso, beer and cigarettes, I spotted a large book/office supplies store- ATHESIA. Told to myself- why not enter into it?

I did so, and what I saw- Montblancs on sale! 50% off! Inkpens, fineliners, rollers...

Due to "ski reasons" , my wallet was pretty tiny, but I made a purchase-Montblanc 146 (LeGrand) Platinum, duo tone nib, "M"size", "Pix" underneath the clip, serial number MD1654348...

Price was the reason why I am writing all of this_307,50 EUR!

Here are some pics- sorry for the poor quality.

WOW!

That is a deal.

What a great “ski break”.

2017 starts off with unexpected delights.

Thank you for the photographs.

Enjoy!

Tom K.

[kuli1961]

thanks, Tom K! it is a proof that "who dares, wins"

I had a similar hit a few month ago, when purchased Boheme Doue Platinum for circa 120 EUR (cap need some intervention- level 1 service, I assume; a good bargain,still!).

Sure i will enjoy, tomorrow is my first working day-probably, I will ink new "baby" with MB Burgundy Red, or Pilot's Yama Budo...
