Would you please let me know (PM if you like) where you can still buy these from?

And would you say a rollerball or ballpoint is better for everyday use?

Sorry it took a few days to respond. I popped into the store (former AD) where I bought these Bordeaux colored Montblanc pens to see if there were any more. There are. There is one rollerball and one ballpoint and several different LeGrand, all in the Bordeaux color. They even have a mechanical pencil but I asked them to hide it in the back because I want that one for myself someday.
While I was there I also found that they still have a very nice (IMO) Root Beer GMT on a jubilee bracelet.

PM me for store details if you're interested.
