My sales texted me the picture for the 1924. It is red, look like the Olympic 146 red and no MOP for the Montblanc star. At 5100 I expect better.

From one of the photo I have, for me the Montblanc star is MOP. Will see when it will be released or more information will be published.

sorry, are you saying that this $5k model is exactly the same as the regular 1924 resin 149 but with a new filling mechanism? And for that they're charging $5k? PT Barnum's quote comes to mind....

I don't understand the lack of photos... it's being talked about like a secret military project.

Maybe I'm missing something which is entirely possible since my interests are in their vintage pens.....

 

But it seems sort of odd (to me) that they are accepting pre-orders on a very limited edition pen for which there are no photos or information, unless you have an inside connection.

What is their game plan here?  Are they trying to assure that all their most connected and high roller (to mean biggest spender) customers are able to acquire one before they are gone?

Sounds very elitist, to say the least.

 

But, again, maybe I'm missing something.

 

If someone with some photos would be willing to share them with me via PM I'd be most grateful..........

I've held the cap and it is orange; not the same color as the x Olympia Paris 1924.

Correct, far as I know.... kind of crazy price for what you get. I told the sales I need to see it when it comes in.

Sent my 149 The Origin Collection for nib exchange, they told me there is a lot of wait, someone said 3 months.. if anyone gets his 100th Anniversary back from nib exchange, let us know, would appreciate it. 

I waited around 2 month. Usually 6 to 8 weeks.

Does the cap have MOP Montblanc star ?

It was just the cap sleeve; no cap top so I don't know.

Wait and see now .. hopefully not 9 months, you can create a full human in that time 😇

@digitorum Yes, let’s hope that The Origin 149 is not one of the special editions affected by the backlog and that your and your friend’s pens arrive within the six to eight week period that @kaisede reports.  Indeed, yes, the human gestation period is far too long to wait for a nib exchange!

I send mine in for nib exchange to XF. It writes very nice.

 

Might you be persuaded to post a writing sample? I am considering the XF nib, you see 😇

Really ? wow wasn't expecting that, I asked for a EF nib on my 149 - 100 Years Anniversary , my friend came later also to get one EF and a F 

I am sure they went to Germany, I guess it should be Hamburg, and I guess the 100 Years Anniversary specific nibs might be available only there 

 

Wait and see now .. hopefully not 9 months, you can create a full human in that time 😇

 


Oh, that would be nice !
You mean you had it done recently ? and for an 100th Anniversary edition pen ? Was it done in US or Europe ?  

I just picked it up Tuesday

Traveller? Why is this a traveller model? Anyone have details of this new filling mechanism that would make it a traveller version? The previous traveller is one that would accept cartridges. This is not one of those.

I was told that it is somewhat similar to the Pelikan Level system. Also you can look up the patents for it searching recent Montblanc patents.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      @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
