If you could have only 1 MB pen what would it be ?

If you could have only 1 MB pen what would it be ?

 

Would it be a pen from the Masterpiece family or maybe a writer series pen ?

Any of the other LE pens MB made ?

 

Well I personaly would probably vote for the 149.

I stated before that I think the 149 is the classiest pen ever made and I think anyone that like FP's and more then that anyone that loves MB pens should have a 149 (if he can afford it).

149

149.

I've got the modern one, i'd like to have the old style one: black celluloid with the two tiner cap rings in sterling silver.

146. But I refuse to be contrained to only one!

We all agree with that but this is just to see where you heart lies and what model is the most important to us all.

Thankfully I am a woman, so I can say the Greta Garbo (classic black and cream edition).

A great pen by Montblanc. I like it more than new Marlene Dietrich Edition.

Oh don't get me started about the Marlene Dietrich, I was soo disappointed when it finally came out! Marlene Dietrich is my favourite actress of all time, I am absolutely in love with her. When I heard that MB was coming out with a new pen in her name, the FP area of my brain practically began to twitch. I was fully prepared to starve myself for as long as necessary to save for this pen. But the degree of my anticipation was equaled only by my dismay when I finally saw and handled the pen. As a hardcore fan of Dietrich, I found the pen upsettingly inadequate and unremarkable. Unlike the refined perfection of the Garbo design, I thought the Dietrich to be awkward, gaudy, and uninspired. It looks like a cross between the Kafka and the Greta Garbo designs, without the originality or grace of either. Sorry for the off-topic rant, but this is a sensitive subject; I was truly traumatised.

If it must be a MB, I like the look of the Proust and the Fitzgerald writer series pens (for different reasons), but I like the nib I finally have on my own 149, so there'd have to be a transplant. I also like that blue Ramses pen (above).

I agree about the Dietrich.

I love the Greta Garbo but my problem with both these pens is that they only take cartriges.I hate working with cartriges,converters are the maximus I can bare.

Sorry no Pelikans in the MB forum :roflmho:

That's tough. Maybe that LE Pope Julius FP.

M1000 + B - 851 = MB149 (all black)

To add to what seems to be a consensus,

 

I was at a Mont Blanc boutique yesterday and asked to see a 146. The clerk made sure I saw a 149 with it, and went so far as to recommend it over the 146.

 

First time I ever saw either of them; they were nice.

Nope. The Greta Garbo takes mini-converters, both the squeeze and the plunge type. I could never use a cartridge-only pen either.

Are these "min-converters" smaller than the standard montblanc ones? I've trying to find one fore my Starwalker but the standard ones don't fit.

 

thanks.

Yes, they are shorter and will fit into any pen that fits a cartridge. Here is a review I wrote of the ones that were available on the market in May:
