What's the best color for the M600?

[dapv]

It may be just me, but I do find some colors look best on specific models. What are your thoughts re: the M600? Also, is the striated bodies more durable or scratch resistant than the solid colors? Thx.

Hi,

 

I think the striped are less likely to show scratches I have the M600 in Blue and Red stripe and love both (also an OS in Green stripe, same size as M400 but with an 18ct nib).

 

The OS Burgundy is nice, I have an OS 600 BP in that colour, doesn't match any of my Pels, but sometimes get paired with the Red Stripe or Red M200 Demo.

It is just you. All of the colors look equally nice on every model to all of us.

I think red and green striped versions look better than the others. My eyes are set on the 625s though, they are in a different class.

I'm leaning towards the black and gold, or the green stripe. The red, however, does also catch my eye. As an aside, the 805 blue stripe with silver trim looks cool.

I would kill for a dark purple pelikan...!!!

The Blue Stripe Sovereign is the classiest looking to me.

Agreed, but then I'm very partial to my M800 blue striated with black cap Pelikan.

I'd like to someday get an M800 green striated, preferably an "Old Style", mostly because the green stripes I believe are the original classic design.

 

For the M600, I'm still partial to the solid blue M605 2004 Limited Edition, a great color combination of solid deep blue and silver furniture, that's perfect for all-occasions.

If the M600 line wasn't too small and too light for me I'd go with that one, actually I'd still have one but it didn't fit my hand when writing so I have little use for M60x in any color.

I've heard the striated bodies are more scratch-resistant than the solids, from a few people that have or have both styles but I've not had first-hand experience in this area.

M600 Red - my favorite color hands down.

[Silbee]

Green...

[diplomat]

I think the solid blue M605 is a pretty color too... but I'll admit that a striped version is more scratch resistant.

[Aissa2]

Ditto!

I have the red striated. I like it very much and I think it is very classy looking

[rollerboy]

I've no idea about scratch resistance but for scratch hiding I suspect the striated would be better than the solid colours. Certainly the striated finishes are better at hiding fingerprints and dust than the solid colours.

Blue stripes is my first choice and red stripes comes in second.

[Jason Oliver]

it would be really cool if each of the sizes (M400, M600, M800, etc) had one color specific and limited to only that size. I would love to see a dark purple striped M600 with gold trim ....

Hasn't that already been done with the night and day limited edition set?

[printhardcopy]

Yah. But why not on m600 and other series of m400 or m1000 set ?
