Question about cases/sleeves for the UB. (Not necessarily MB)

 

I’m worried that a leather sleeve may rub/polish the matte finish...is this the case?

 

Any recommendation would be appreciated...plan to use this as an edc.

I use either the MB single pen sleeve which retails for about $90, or I used a double Aston leather sleeve which retails for $15.95. The Aston sleeve has soft thick leather and the double fits my UB better than the single Aston sleeve. Due to the thickness of the leather, the single one is too tight. Hope this helps Edited March 3, 2018 by 888007888

I recently bought a new fountain pen (Pelikan M205 Demonstrator) and so I decided to clean my 146 Ultra Black for storage.

 

However ... my nib is now looking golden instead of the original ruthendium-coated inlay ??? (FYI ; the original F nib was replaced by MB to an EF nib)

 

How is this possible, I only used water ???

Ruthenium-coating tends to peel off over time. Amongst all of my fountain pens, only Borghese 4810 experienced the issue.

Handed it over to the shop who were totally surprised.

 

They're going to add an extra note to MB and try to get it fixed/replaced under warranty.

 

They fear however that this will not be accepted and then I will have to pay +- 198 € for a new nib !

 

And to add injury to insult ... if they replace the nib for which I will then have to pay 198€ ... MB keeps the old nib ???

 

Will keep you posted on the outcome.

Whenever I payed for a replacement I got the original nib back each and every time.

If it's replaced under warranty they will keep it, of course.

Well .. I got my pen back (already since half February)

 

The super friendly personnel of penworld.be (B&M store Rombouts in Antwerp) told me they had to write some emails, but ... Montblanc agreed to fix it under warranty, although the warranty expired 6 months ago !

 

So I thanked the store by buying a Kaweco Al Sport Raw :-)

 

 

Haven't decided yet but I'm really considering selling this pen.

I took me almost a year to decide but I will be selling my ultra black. I recently bought a Pilot Silvern Tsumugi (not yet receiced) and will make this my heirloom fountain pen 🙂
