Best Montblanc Pen?

[Offley]

I dont know how to define “best”. Personally I use my black 12 as a daily writer. I find the 146 and 149 (I have them both but never use them), too snobby for me to use as a daily writer.
A kind of “look at him with his pen”.

For the quick writings I use my solitaire silver ballpoint. I have it for ages.

The Solitaires are great, going back all the way to the striped versions and now the Martelé. Aren't they a bit heavy though?

Hi, no I don’t find it heavy. A bit heavier than the black version of course, but I like the coolness of the 925. The polishing is for my wife :).

The one I don’t like is the LeGrand. I have one and would sell it today if I could but it was a birthday gift from my brother.

I see your point about preferring the 12 -- while I like the more classic Meisterstuecks, the 12 has an austere quality to it, and only those "in the know" understand the significance of the pen you're writing with. There's something romantic about that! Welcome to FPN by the way.

Thanks. I am enjoying it. Learning a lot and seeing some beautiful pens.
