Cracks in my new M800?

[FleetAdmiralBlackBeard]

Hello there, I hope that this is just a manufacturing mark, and not a crack in my new M800 Cream and Blue
 

I like to clean my pens with a small black microfiber towel meant for sunglasses, and I noticed that some of the towel “lint” catching on two opposite vertical lines along the threads, and if I run my finger I can feel something. Are these normal? Or Cracks? I am very very gentle on my pens, so nothing has happened to it.  Please see pictures below, and the line along the threads :

That is absolutely normal. 

All mine have that and it is the "seam" mark, which on the threads are not polished out.

 

Enjoy your M800 Cream and Blue, it is a beautiful pen. Congrats.

Thanks so much for that quick reply!!! I am glad it is normal, does not bother me at all, I just feared that it was a crack that would continue to run !

Yes a seam. All is good!

Thanks. The pen has them on either side of the threads , so I was panicking.

 

Now on to a red stripped M800 to fill the final space in the pen case,  and then give it a rest  for a while to get those pen allotment coffers full again.

That’s a little disappointing that a high-priced pen has this quirk. The section threads are sometimes exposed to ink. Does this seam get stained over time?

I imagine they do on the light colored pens like mine.

Check the inside of the cap lip. There is the place most cracks appear in the WHITE pens.

I have 4 Pelikan with White/cream caps (white tortoise, pink, turquoise and complete white), some of them have only filled once, I don't post, I very gently screw the caps, and 3 of them have micro cracks.

I'm not sure if the black ones have them too, maybe they are too dark to see.

Three out of four, a terrible record.
