What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase? 2019 Edition

[kmcmichael]

Welcome to the club and the Broadside. Hopefully you have many years of writing pleasure from your 149.

Thank you, I am impressed with it, I made a brief attempt to get a OBBB but the local boutique happened to have a BB in stock. I believe I am equally impressed with the ink.

 

It is great to compare to the frankenpens that I torture with abrasives. I can match the smoothness(maybe not in all directions)but for even, fast ink flow, the 149 is without peer.

 

I am afraid, so far, I do baby it and only use it at home.

Nib might be EF or F; just got it and will ink it right away :-)

 

Cheers

I am covering my eyes at this point Just happens tomorrow I am scheduled to meet the heads of design and nib departments at Montblanc, gotta discuss this one! No offense nonozon, but surely there are other 2019 creations that you may like better?

 

Just an opinion, but its very tacky. Let it sell to tourists visiting overseas Montblanc boutiques and teenagers. There's something very special coming towards the second half of the year, wait for it it'll be worth it.

I thought it was out in July. But aside from that. That grip section just seems incredibly short.

Just hope that's its going to be within reach for most and not priced too much on the higher side.

I like the color very much.

 

If that‘s a matching colored ink it could be interesting.

 

Will wait to see it in real life :-)

It was €940 ($1065, £816) on the tag in the previous photos we (briefly) saw. Not sure whether that's in reach enough!

 

Not taken with the pen, but I do like the colour, and that ink might be a real treat. Eau-de-nil isn't a common colour, and would be a first for MB.

Hi all,

 

My 2 latest purchases are the 2 Meisterstuck Solitaire LeGrand Geometry's (both arriving in the past week) and before that was the Spider Metamorphosis 1906.

 

All are in use, 2 being chosen each day for work... I love them all, my favourite (at the moment) being the Platinum Geometry because the J Herbin Emerald of Chivor and Medium nib combination suits my writing style perfectly, but the Rouge Et Noir Serpent Solitaire is always in joint 1st place!

[Michael R.]

That is a nice collection :-)

 

I have the older Geometric Dimensions and wonder ho w it compares to the new ones.

 

Cheers

Great selection! Congratulations! You may notice a well-defined pattern in your taste.

Could you talk a little about Martelé? I'm in a cruel doubt ... A Martelé or another 149.

I always fall into the same problem ... I love the size of the 149 pen and, as I have a 145 (which I think is a pen with small proportional nib) I'm afraid I make a mistake. Thanks!

Go with the Martele! The 149 will always be available...!

This week I managed to pick up a 90 year solitaire in a lightly used condition. My second MoP star and its mesmerising. Although a small pen it is metal and so well balanced and weighted. A daily writer in medium, if I find a 90 classique in B in the future I might swap it out but for now its a cheerful nib to wrote with.

I could not be happier I got the holy grail pen the Pope Julius İİ at my 50th birthday.

[zaddick]

Congratulations. That is one of my all time favorite MB pens. Enjoy it for many years to come!

Thank you Zaddick. Compared with Ludwing 888, Pope 888 is more practical to use with the shimmering red enamel. I will ink in my birthday.

[Pravda]

Congratulations dubhe I always loved this pen and only hope I get me one before its too late and theyre gone.

 

Mjchuang9~ congratulations on a wonderful (if not the best) POA 888 in my opinion. Its a gorgeous pen isnt it? May I ask where you picked it up from? I sold mine very recently and theres a story behind it that I think the new owner should know, if its the same piece. PM if needed.

Thank you Pravda. The Pope could be the best POA in my opinion.
