Unfortunately, the fountains are not getting any use, due to a change in my work mode.

I have been thinking about the John Lennon SE, since its vert different to the LE fountain I already have, but I can't help thinking it would be a shame not to explore another edition.

Any thoughts on something that is currently available in boutiques?

Thanks!

The Lennon is def cool and so is the Mark Twain. If you want something a little more "traditional" any of the Meisterstucks will do.

No a fan of the traditional stuff, so guess its just Lennon, Twain or maybe Mann

Or Dostoevsky...

I just picked up the John Lenon SE FP, but for the RB I like the Meisterstuck Legrand.

Not going to name names, but I went into my local MB boutique this morning.

Could you believe the only LE rollerball they could offer me was a Mann!!!!!

Unfortunately, my least favourite, so no sale

Lion · 22 April 2011, 11:53 PM

If you are going to buy a rollerball my vote goes for the John Lennon SE model!!!

Bisquitlips · 24 April 2011, 09:48 AM

I am probably the only person in the world who never liked John Lennon.

Any traditional MB Rollerball would serve you well as any of the Pelikans.

traditional: Meisterstuck LeGrand
collectible: Twain or Lennoon

I would say go with the Starwalker line. The extra weight makes it feel a lot better then the Meisterstuck Legrand.

Meisterstuck in Platinum

Pen goes to work everyday with me.

Rolexavidfan · 8 May 2011, 11:28 AM

Miesterstuck with Diamond -- they say it's an LE.

TopNotchChach · 9 May 2011, 04:00 PM

Miesterstuck clasique/ what ec51 said

I just purchased the Legrande rollerball in platinum (162P) and love it. I was previously using the classique but much prefer the wider pen.

xbox · 8 June 2011, 12:34 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions - much appreciated.

I must of been having a sensible day, as I went for a Black Resin Starwalker.

It will be my first MB, that actually looks like a MB.

How very curious

Lanfor · 24 July 2011, 06:39 AM

I bought a starwalker midnight black ballpoint the other day and i must say i'm impressed with it

xbox · 19 October 2011, 10:52 PM

Got the chance to pick up a Lennon SE rollerball, which was nice, as most places are sold out.

Also, couldn't resist what IMO must be one of the best looking ballpoints, an Ingrid Bergman. The design flows so beautifully, so much better than the fountain and roller, which seem a little broken when open.

This is actually an interesting design issue for the edition pens!

xbox · 19 October 2011, 10:54 PM

I should mention the IB was a present to my wife

masterserg · 19 October 2011, 11:03 PM

I think it is late already but still ... I love the Starwalker Mystery. It has a really nice heft to it and an interesting design. The Cool Blue is very nice as well (of course those are on a different league from the above SEs.).

I have one of those as well. I love mine and it will serve you well.

A few months I made my first luxury pen purchase and picked up the MB rollerball starwalker black mystery. I take it every day to the office. Thinking about a BP next. Highly recommend.
