I'm considering getting a MB 149 Rose Gold but is concern if MB had solved the "flaking" issue ?

 

Also I'm looking at F nib and is wondering what's the line width as compared to a MB 146 M nib ?

I have a 146 90th ann, which has rose gold trim and a rose gold nib.

 

The nib is fact was worked by Dan smith, he actually took it to a grinder...!

 

Despite this and 2 years of use, I can say my trim looks just like the day i got it.

 

Be not afraid.

I don't think the quality would be that bad. I got 90th Anni 149 and it's holding up really well,

but if this is really a problem, we should see more complaints about it already (like 1912's problems).

Not to say that it wouldn't flake, but probably just as would other nibs.

The line width of the F will be finer than the M regardless of 149, 146 etc. Also the tip of the nib is not plated in rose gold, so even if it was ground, would not be a problem.

The clip is the most likely to lose plating if used regularly. I would not worry about it and get the pen if you like the look.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

      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
