Montblanc Dealer Recommendations In Uk Please?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am looking to get a brand new Montblanc pen from an authorized dealer so that I can be assured of its authenticity.

 

Can someone please recommend a dealer that will offer a good deal? What is the most discount I can expect to get?

 

Thanks.

I have always found Wheelers of Loughborough give excellent service but I don't know about discount. Give them a call.

I've also used Wheelers Luxury Gifts a number of times and have found them very helpful and professional. No idea about discounts but it's worth giving them a call and having a chat.

There is a map of dealers on the MB website here, but I am not sure if they all sell pens.

 

You do not have to pay the 'brand new' price to ensure a pen is authentic.

 

Hang around here a while and learn something - in fact, learn lots!

Yes Wheelers are genuine are their service is excellent.

Many thanks for the replies.

 

While good service is always nice to have from a dealer at the end of the day all I want to do is pick up the phone and give them my credit card number and then they send my pen out by a courier. So price is much more important frankly than service.

 

Everyone offers 10% off, but getting 20-30% is hard. Any advice?

 

Thanks!

Pick up the phone and start dialing. You've been told where you can get the list of the A.D. so its a case of picking the ones you think will give you the best discount possible.

If you're in London the boutique on New Bond Street have amazing service, spent 45 mins there this afternoon with a chap named Alex, he loves his pens and spoke about pens for close to half an hour. Extremely pleasurable experience.

I am surprised you are getting 10% off. Might be worth contacting Dennis at Couronne du comte. He was running a discount voucher recently, and although he is based in the Netherlands (I am in the UK) i can vouch for his excellent range of pens and customer service.

If you are in the North West then we have been stripped of the two boutiques that we once had, one in Bolton & one in Manchester.

 

Birmingham have one that seem ok on the phone (suppose thats the easy bit though) and of course there is London.

 

If you want a leather belt or very 'standard' model MB there is always The Pen Shop. Staff are pleasent enough......well thats about it really .

      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
