Looks like it's now a trend to do porcelain/ceramic stuff on pens...
http://www.montblanc.com/products/ma...ite.106071.php

The white one has a blue Meissen logo, while the black one has a silver Meissen logo.
Both have a mother of pearl snowcap. It looks very "fat" but holding it has a very nice feeling.
The nib is rhodium not the usual 3 tone.

Want to ask the forum which one do you prefer? and why?
I'm in Tokyo atm and saw these in one of the department stores.
Absolutely gorgeous pen, with a price tag to boot...
I'll see if I can get one in Hong Kong.

Interesting Kai, hadn't seen these yet. Can't say as I care for the white one, looks too plasticky. I'd need to see the black one in person. Kind of like the new SUB-C, you really need to see it.

Let me know if you get one!

Bisquitlips · 7 December 2010, 12:31 PM

I have to agree with Chris. Don't really care for the white bodied MBs. Just not my cup of tea.

Zed Homme · 7 December 2010, 02:35 PM

Another vote for black here, although I'd have to see the white in person.

scarhead · 7 December 2010, 02:52 PM

Like others have said you really have to see it in person. They do look different when you see them. I like the white one.

Lion · 8 December 2010, 01:23 AM

Kai, I happen to like the white one because it is so different from their usual models but I'm sure the black on is very nice as well!!!

TattooedGQ · 11 December 2010, 06:29 AM

x2....the whites different.....however, not my cup of tea.

2careless · 11 December 2010, 08:21 AM

Thanks guys. I went to the boutique in HK and to my surprise the standard silverish version has a white star, not MOP, which I thought is different to the description in their website... The staff here in HK said they have only seen this white star version. Weird...

Lion · 11 December 2010, 02:52 PM

So Kai, how did the white pen look and feel in the hand???

2careless · 11 December 2010, 03:31 PM

It feels bigger than the 149, weight wise about same. The nib is a "6" nib so not as big as the 149.
Very beautiful pen. has the Meissen blue sabre on the cap for the white version, and a silverish sabre on the black version (blue sabre looks much bigger).
I would hate myself if I ever drop one of these babies.

So are you planning on buying one???

TswaneNguni · 13 December 2010, 05:07 AM

The white looks very nice !!!

BarkMaster · 13 December 2010, 09:04 AM

When using a non-gold pen, I tend to use one who's primary color is similar to the leather I am wearing that particular day... white would not work for me since the only white shoes I have are cross trainers and I tend not to wear a pen with while wearing those!

I'd like a MOP one but doesn't look like they will make it like that. :(

Yes there is a Meissen cross - a blue one on white porcelain and a silver one on black porcelain. Both crosses are quite prominant on the items.
