Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Solitaire Doué LeGrand Rollerball

Hi All,

I am really keen on the Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Solitaire Doué LeGrand Rollerball - but it is slightly more than I want to spend at the moment (Rolex first). I was wondering if anyone could recommend an alternative? I would like a smaller bodied pen (length ways - but similar shape to Le Petit Prince); one of my favourite take everywhere pen is the Fisher Space Pen Bullet model. So the shape of Le Petit Prince but shorter - and more economical.

Thanks!

Just save up a bit longer!

Always wait to get want you want! Never settle!

Haha - I feel like you've known me all my life! This is actually good advice for me.

What if there was something good - maybe not as good but considerably cheaper - that I am missing out on... I guess that's a fear I have also!

You've identified the pen you want. I also recommend holding out to get it. Even if you find a temporary alternative, you will not be able to get it out of your mind. It is a very nice pen and worth the wait. Not sure what your budget is, but they have one fairly discounted on jomashop if it is still available. I missed out on the fountain pen version over the holidays. Best of luck on your hunt.

I have this pen, it's a gorgeous pen in the flesh. Can't recommend it enough.
