Montblanc Meisterstruck Ultra Black rant

The phrase “you gotta pay to play” has been frequently thrown around the watch collecting hobby lately. I guess it also applies to Montblanc pens.

I got myself the Meisterstruck Ultra Black ball point pen almost a year ago to complement my Meisterstruck Classique. Surprised one day to find a chip on the cap exactly on the Montblanc logo. The pen was used very carefully and was never dropped on a hard surface. At least from what I recall. Called the local service center to inquire and order a replacement cap. Very surprised to find out it will take 3-4 months to order. Even more surprising is the $126 price tag for the replacement cap. Contemplating now if it’s worth replacing.

Maybe someone here can point me to a more affordable and faster solution? I like the pen very much for it’s understated design and would be keeping it until I can’t write anymore.





The $125 culprit!
