What's Your Favourite Looking Montblanc?

I agree...but do you really write in public with it?...It looks so ostentatious... :(

I don't have one. But as a general rule, I don't write with anything other than Meisterstuck line in public. Everything else stays at home.

I had to take a screen shot of this one. I think it's called 1912. I'm not sure. It's still my Fav MB.

There's something about the silver rings and gold band. Hemingway is a very close second. Any MOP is a solid third, but there's something about the squared off ends.post-119980-0-09636900-1468086719_thumb.jpg

My personal favorite has always been the Dumas followed closely by the Poe.

Certainly not one I'll own in the near future, but the Grace de Monaco.

I want to play! The Montblanc forum has been dead-boring lately :)

 

I agree the Tsar Nikolai is gorgeous! I occasionally think about it.

 

Okay. The best looking pen I own I believe would be this. I saw it in the Bond Street boutique in 2012 and kept frequenting the shop until I got it a month later.

The best looking pen I am on the lookout for and hope to get is this:

And for later this year, I believe this is going to be a gorgeous addition as well ;)

Pravda, that Genghis Khan is quite magnificent (congrats on that acquisition), as is the skeleton 149. What is that 3rd one? Is that in sterling?

I would say the Moon Pearl. Very elegant and refined. It makes me think fo a 1930's style I like a lot.

 

Very nice selection of yours as well.

Yes that Moon Pearl is quite appealing. I remember watching a good review of it by Stephen Brown.

Jar, those vintage Montblancs certainly possess a timeless beauty and character.

Thanks max dog. I don't have the skeleton 149 yet, but I hope one day.

 

The third one has the body similar to that of Leo Tolstoy. Hammered metal I think.

Pravda., what model is the pen in your first photo - it is exquisitely decorated.

 

I really like the Poe WE, but I think the one I like best is the Quing Dynasty pen with the jade cap. Or may be one of the skeletons.. Errrrrm :/

Nice choices here. You have good taste!

Had this but sold it to fund another 'last' pen. Wish I had not now :huh:

I really lust for the Sterling Pinstripe.

Charles, the first Montblanc I really fell in love with was a ball point sterling pinstripe that I just couldn't afford at the time, then one day I came across the fountain pen version at a boutique on sale at a price I just couldn't refuse.

I am a humble woman, I like the regular old 146 with gold trim.

The regular Meisterstuck precious resin in gold trim didn't become so famous by accident. Timeless elegance.

I think Ingrid Bergman attracts quite a few stares. Even a senior partner in my firm noted it. (PS - He otherwise never speaks to staff at my level)

The Ingrid Bergman is beautiful.

Thanks a lot for the video Max, I indeed watched it a couple of time. I looked at older comments on FPN and it seems that people like it a lot.

 

Very tempting :)

That's a 1914 in coral, basically a giant version of the 1912.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
