Best Place To Buy Montblanc

[Tom Kellie]

I tend to go to my local boutique, which I have the fortune of it being only 15 minutes away.

 

I've already discussed the desire to eventually get an 03b, it seems to be 'Available, but you do have to know how to get it ordered' here in the US it seems it's a special order nib swap that requires a little extra effort.

What you've described about ordering an OBBB nib in the U.S. is the same in Montblanc China.

The extra effort consists of convincing boutique to step past their reluctance to do what seems to them to be unusual.

The reality is that for 149s OBBB nibs are among the range of available “within six weeks of purchase” free nib exchanges.

That it's out of the usual flow of requests makes an OBBB request ever so slightly daunting to less experienced boutique staff members.

A client's gentle yet firm insistence is usually enough to overcome their reluctance.

I hope that one way or another an OBBB nib will find its way to you.

I have yet to purchase a pen online, but fountain pen hospital, appelboom, and chatterly luxuries are three I seem to see often.

The Montblanc boutiques are a complete pain for this. I can merrily add my name to those recommending Joost at Appelboom. He sometimes even has pens with an O3B as stock. It's a fantastic nib. He got a 149 with O3B to me in a matter of days and that was with the weekend in the middle.
