I'm disappointed Steve... Where are the Proust and Gold Dragon?
I'll be getting my 149 back from repair soon. Confirmed that's it's not just a BB but BBB

BBBBut that is impossible, there is no such thing as BBB

You mean O3B

don't you? or a custom made nib don't you

To get a BBB is like saying you put your Rolex in for service and it's coming back with a transparent caseback.......

No sorry Kai I'm not buying that

I know you are persuasive but you can't get blood from a stone pal

Well, Eric who repaired it for me compared the nib with his other confirmed BB and OBBB 149 and mine has wider/thicker lines so what he concluded is that my pen has BBB, either MB did it or someone else did it I wouldn't know of course.

I would trust Eric's comments. Can't argue against the resident MB guru in FPN.

Have a look at the nib. It's not oblique so has to be 2B or 3B.

Let's compare when I get it back

BTW, I'll be getting a Nakaya green celluloid music nib so let's see how it compares to the MB.

I've been enjoying all the pictures everyone has been posting and am really starting to like the Agatha Christie!!!
As for nibs I really like the extra fine nib on my MB A. F. Chopin.....

Wow ! Didnt know there was a pen section on this board. Some really nice pens !! I really never collected pens but that can change . I only had one watch till TRF so this can be dangerous .This is my one and only .

vitix · 10 December 2009, 02:35 AM

here is me today

I must say the MB Meisterstuck + Rolex Sub combo is so classy. You can't get wrong with them. Even adding the BB into the mix seems acceptable (sorry I hate these "push-email" gadgets

)

Thanks and I look forward to it

Lol-x · 10 December 2009, 07:05 AM

Kai, I think that is a BBB or at least a very widely cut BB

There was a time when montblanc did make BBB and it is possible that your nib may have been a special order.

The reason I didn't show a Proust is because that is still in the box sealed from the factory. Also the Y2K Golden Dragon is still at Montblanc in Germany getting a new nib.

Excellent photos all! Nothing like MBs and Rolexs that go together.

I just can't see the guys that wear a lovely Rolex Sub or TT GMT and then walk around with a plastic BIC in their pockets. Sheesh!!!

No Carl, it is the ball pen, very heavy with a lot of heft.
