The Ultimate Top Three Most Beautiful Montblanc Ever!

[Francisco Pena]

I am suspect because for me the most beautiful MB ever is the 139, however closely follow by the Alexandre Dumas and the Hemingway edition.

 

However if you ask me which one i buy, the answer would be hardly none, or at best hip the Alexandre Dumas.

Why, becouse I buy pens to use, same fear in using a pen in celluloid as it is not uncommon for my to fall.

Regarding the Hemingway, i do not not see how to justify such a high value exceeding even the 139.

For these reasons, although beautiful and fabulous I would opt for one 149!

I like the jules verne and the skeleton pens.

[Chrissy]

I personally like the 149, the Jules Verne and the Mark Twain

[dduran]

Have to agree with the OP, 139 - Hemingway - Dumas.

Although I find the Dumas' design to be more practical (less susceptible to hairline cracks on the cap lip) really appreciate the simplicity of the 139/Hemingway, but that's me

[Zenistar]

The Dumas is the pen I have wanted for quite a while.

Vintage green striated 146 would be my choice....7

[logantrky]

I've overlooked the Dumas for a long time. To be honest, I now prefer the Dumas to the Hemingway...

 

I just wish it had the 139's clip....

[Montecristo]

Verne, Carnegie and Faulkner. Hoping that the Defoe will live up to my expectations.....

Unconventional opinion: I like the purity of the 14. Wouldn't that make a great re-issue?

I also love the 14. Great elegant design. Mine comes to work with me quite often.

Got the Solitaire Gold, maybe one day will get a solitaire Platinum.

 

The Royal Diamond may be a bridge too far !

I personally like the 149, the Jules Verne and the Mark Twain

+1, but in my case the order would be:

 

Jules Verne (for many years, my "grail" pen and hoping someday he will get reunited with his ballpoint cousin)

Mark Twain

Charles Dickens

149

and John Lennon

 

 

Although the Lennon is not as colorful or elegant, the symbolism of peace, the guitar, vinyl record and the man himself has made this a favorite every day writer

[Garageboy]

I actually really like the look of the 74 (14 with a GF cap)

Also, love the looks of the 644/444

And to round it up, something like the 234 1/2

The 139 "long-window" was the progenitor of the line you've selected. Its simple and unadorned lines make it a classic. It's a nice example of the adage, "form follows function". Perhaps that's why MB has created derivatives of it. The Hemingway is a nice variant of the original design and the color contrasts go well together. The Dumas is an embellished derivative of the first two examples and, to me, it's less attractive for that reason. Of course, the 149 stands in the same rank as the 139, perhaps accounting for its endurance to the present day.

 

With the usual disclaimers,
