Mb Solitaire Doue Silver Barley Classique Ballpoint

[hcd615]

I may go and buy one tonight. Does anyone have any dealings with this model of pen, if not in ballpoint at least the pen design of the silver barley? Pros / cons? I love the design on the sterling silver cap and on the black resin. (#105223)

My neighbour has one and it's really lovely, but it is an expensive BP.

I also saw this one I like: Meisterstück Solitaire Doue / Black & White (101406)

I have the Duoe Silver Barley in a 146 .... Great design.

Feels great in your fingers as the cuts in the resin body give you feedback. It makes a great anti slip design.

As light moves across the dark body the pattern appears and recedes.

 

I would think the bp version would be the same great look and feel.

 

 

Hope that helps,

Inked

I have the Barley 145 FP and love the pattern engraved on sterling cap and resin body. The elegant design perfectly matches my watch and you will not regret to have one, no matter it's a FP or BP.

I like both of these designs but I really like that Silver Barley much more. That eBay seller you're looking at has always had nice brand new Montblanc items. I almost think they have a store as an authorized retailer and sell overstock on eBay. However, you pay the price from an authorized retailer for an unwarranted product. So I would only do it if you can't find it elsewhere.

I am sure you will wind up getting both in the end hehe

So you guys feel the design is masculine, not feminine? I am getting a good price from a local dealer, not the MB Boutique.

The only MB pen designs that I have seen as feminine are in the "Diva" line. I think you're good with both of them!

And the small Boheme, IMO.

Does the silver tarnish a lot? I assume all I have to do is just wipe it with a rag real quick. The store said they are giving me a MB cloth also. I am heading over there so, I will post pics here of what I get.

Hello, I'm new and just posted on newcomers, but the middle pen in my post picture has tarnished and it has many fine scratches on the metal, but I just leave it as is and use it.

I just got home. I purchased the Solitaire Doue Silver Barley Classique Ballpoint (105223). My local authorized dealer did not have the Black / White (101406) in stock so my choice was easy. I also took everyones opinion into consideration and I have to say the Silver Barley is beautiful.

Don't have to worry about the silver tarnish if you're using the pen. You only need to wipe it occasionally to make it more shiny and that Is one of the reasons I love sterling silver pen.

Congrats, you will enjoy using it !

[Chrissy]

I think you made an excellent choice. It's lovely and I hope you enjoy using it.

[zaddick]

Good choice. I have the full silver barley 146 and I really like the chevron pattern of the silver.

Yes, I find it definitely masculine.

I used the pen all day at my office. Love the weight and the grip of the barrel due to the design.

I had a Starwalker with the ribbed design on it and I do prefer the pens with texture!

I have the fountain pen in all sterling silver. It tarnishes very quickly if you dont use it regularly and the gaps between the chevrons go dark as its virtually impossible to polish there but it still remains beautiful looking. Enjoy
