I have finally taken the plunge and brought a Le Grand - Gold - OM

 

I have sent the pen away as it was purchased as a B to OM and also have the clip engraved.

 

So just staring at my bottle of Royal Blue waiting at the moment.....

Six months for a nib change? Where are you based and who did you give the pen to to get it changed.

 

That sort of wait would be agony for me.

Sorry, weeks not months!!!

 

That sounds more like the service turnaround that I'm used to. 6 weeks is still a long time when you want to start using a lovely new pen.

 

Enjoy the pen when it arrives!

Just collected it!!!!

 

Looks beautiful. Is it right though that on the cap wring after Montblanc Meisterstuck it says Pix instead of 146?

 

Also when the cap is on should there be any play in the cap?

 

Pics to follow shortly.

Yes, the current model of 146 has "Pix" instead of "146" on the cap ring; and yes, the current model suffers of some "loose cap syndrome". But it is a really beautiful, elegant, solid pen, it isn't? Enjoy it for years to come!

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
