I see you went with the Platinum trim instead of gold or rose gold. Will you be switching to oblique tires for greater lane variation?

[siamackz]

That's a real looker. It found a good home! Congratulations

Excellent choice - I love the flat top coloured Danish productions. Heres one I just got myself, not a flat top but a 224:

You guys crack me up Nice ride though.

 

... saw my brothers last week... they both drive MBs... but I think the sib-rivalry thing is happening (twins? why yes, why do you ask?)... one said he can hardly wait for the Bentley to be delivered, his 550 is getting old...

I’d find a restored Trabant to drive and park next to his compensator. *evil chortle*

My favorite is Dickens. The modern editions are not attracting me that much!

You forgot to mention whether they were B, BB or 3B.

OTOH, those are among my favorite alloys for the C-Klasse.

Having recently sold some unwanted items I'd told myself I must before purchasing another pen, I visited the boutique and made my selection. Aesthetics wasn't even a tertiary consideration, but with Montblanc one can't really go wrong in that department no matter the selection reasoning.

 

My criteria was the same; weight, girth, section material, aesthetic. I don't even look at limited editions other than to admire them and I had to stay within the price range of the cash I had from the sale.

 

Going in I knew a nib exchange would be in order.

 

I had my eye on a 90th Anniversary pen I'd seen previously, but had earlier decided against it due to cost #1, and the fact it was a 146 size.

Looking at both versions of the Le Petit Prince pens (original and Holiday Set gold) I decided they were too light weight.

Since I don't care for red, I turned down the Marilyn Monroe pen.

No full resin black or white Classique pens for me due to their light weight.

 

It's odd how immediate the feedback when handling a pen. And I knew the second I handled the Solitaire Doue Blue Hour Classique it was perfect. It met all criteria: weight, girth, section material (metal), and I hesitated only on the aesthetic but for a minute. The polished cap will require extra special handling and I know it still will scratch far easier than the resin. I prefer gold over platinum, but the fantastic blue hexagon resin barrel was spectacular and I love the thought behind this pen. Besides, platinum suits it far better than gold.

 

So, I purchased it and immediately said goodbye as it will be shipped out for a nib exchange. I'll post photos and writing samples when I receive the actual pen back with the mystery nib.

 

Here are two stock photos:

Congrats on a lovely, understated pen. The PT definitely accentuates the blue resin barrel.

I too prefer PT/RT/CT rather than GT. Sticking to your budget is a prudent approach.

 

Which nib did you decide?

I'm saving that little tidbit of information for the future writing sample when the pen arrives home.

My recent purchase: a mint JP Morgan

I stopped by a MB Boutique today to see the Summit 2 Watch impressive and they have already sold all of their initial allotment. I ended up buying this pen case. I dont need another MB pen case! ,but I couldnt resist this blue one for my Little Prince and Blue Hour pens. The photo does not do the true color justice.
