Burgundy just to be different? I also think that MB seems to be phasing out the burgundy-coloured pens...been looking for a burgundy MB146 to no avail.

@agentdaffy007- I second Gojira, burgundy just to be different and before they disappear entirely from the marketplace.

 

@Gojira- if you're in KL, Mid Valley Mall has a timepiece boutique called Watchshoppe. I got my 146R from there at a rather good price. Last I checked (3 months ago) they have 2 more left (I bought one of the three available there)

Life is like Chinatown signage, its cluttering, confusing but everything that you need is there, just have to look harder....

Thanks for the headsup, Sidestreaker. Unfortunately I'm in Sarawak but will be heading down to KL sometime in December. Luckily I'll be staying either at Cititel Midvalley or Gardens Boulevard. I know which store you're referring to....will definitely take a look!

I just got a Bordeaux 146... And it has a friend if you're interested.

I gave my two adult nieces a choice of a black or a bordeaux 144 cartridge filler that I had in my collection. They flipped a coin for first choice. Turned out they both wanted the black one.

 

But who cares? Get the one YOU want.

I'd get a Burgundy! Classy classy color! But then again . . . you can't go wrong with black. I have a Burgundy 164 ballpoint that I use everyday at work - love it! I get comments on the color all the time. Win win situation in my opinion! Enjoy!

Bordeaux & Burgundy are the same arent they ?

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
