Waterman Pen V. Mont Blanc

[drjasperjr]

I like the designs of both, but I received the Waterman as a graduation gift and the Mont Blanc I purchased on my own. I did not know a lot about pens at the time, but I realize finding a pen for comfort is the most important thing because the Waterman is a thicker pen and feels better when writing for long periods. I have the 75th Anniversary Edition Mont Blanc which I believe is thinner than the Le Grand MB, so I hurt myself by not thinking the purchase through. Your thoughts?

Which 75th Anniversary Edition & Waterman pen do you have?

 

Have you tried writing with a MB 146 or 149? I would recommend you go to a MB boutique and try their various pens and nib sizes.

 

Also, Don't worry too much about having the wrong MB Anniversary Edition. There are hundreds of people here who would gladly take it off your hands, if you do decide to sell or trade.

I have the 75th Anniversary Edition ball point pen with the tiny diamond at the top of the pen. I kept the box with the gold label on it, but I do not have the CD that came with it. I am interested in selling it, but have not yet made my 30 post quota. If you or someone you know may be interested, please give me some suggestions.

Dont peddle your stuff in this thread or else the MOD's will delete it. Wait untill you have sufficient post count and than offer your item for sale in the classifieds. No one gives a damn about the CD. As long as the pen is in good condition it will sell sooner or later. From a collectors point of view however ballpoints are not as much in demand as fountainpens are.

Dont agree with the " no one gives a damn about the CD " part of your post. Collectors like inner & outer boxes and every other thing that comes with the pens as new. Even barrel nib size stickers have been asked for when I have been selling MB's.

The easiest way to make the 30-post and 30-day quota is to spend some time on Fountain Pen Network talking with people. The month and post numbers go by pretty quickly that way.
