The pen will be launched September 2014 with a Retailprice of EUR 7.700,-

What I see is the 90-years rose nib.

The body is ruthenium-plated with a quartz star (like the tribute to... version)

Reminds me of a Gothic lighthouse (especially the cap) but otherwise not bad (no precious resin, at least). Unfortunately, the nib seems out of place.

I love the body. The nib though looks odd. I'm a believer of the nib matching the trim and clip,

I completely agree with this. Perhaps a silver colored nib would have done the body justice. It is still way to pricey for my budget

In order to appreciate the sweet, you must truly taste the bitter....

I think in reallife the pen is more subtle. Like other rose gold editions it is not such a contrast in comparison to the yellow gold.

Just think, you've got ten years to save for the 100 anniversary skeleton :)

Hmmm - to pay so much and NOT have a MOP star? I agree the body looks beautiful but the whole balance is destroyed by the rose gold nib. It would have cost MB very little to release a nib in white gold for this pen - just like the one on the 333 in my avatar.

I think it looks incredible. A ruthenium plated nib might be an improvement, though I doubt I'll ever see one in person.

This is insanely nice! If I win the lottery I will buy this pen!

      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..

      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
