I have had a 146 as my daily writer for some years now. I bought it as an OBB and that is how the box is marked. However, I went to a MB boutique this week and compared it to their testing pens and found out it is really only an OB. So I'm getting that nib changed to an OBB like it should be.

I just find the wider nibs just flow so much better for me. I guess it's personal taste but the butter smooth flow of the nib across the page is just magical with the wider nibs for me.

Hey Stevo,

When you say wider nibs, do you mean the actual physical dimensions of the nib itself or it being fine or medium, etc? I ask because sometimes my Chopin doesn't flow as well as I expect it to. I'm not sure if it's my writing style or what, but if a bigger nib helps with that, maybe that's the way I should go.

Thanks.
