I've purchased 3 MB 149, the nib sizes are: O3B, O2B and 2B. The nibs were showing signs of hard start (baby bottom). I returned the fountain pens to Appelboom and the nibs were tuned by their nib specilist. I am pleased with the result, the nibs write smooth, wet and give line variation. During the entire process the customer service was very good, fast answears were provided to all my questions.
Bought this on fountain pen day, product was shipped as soon as they had stock and arrived in 2 days by DHL. Pen was new, in box, with the correct O3B nib that wrote straight away. Would recommend to anyone else looking for a 149 O3B.
MB 149 is a class of itself. I already had MB 146. But this pen is really something special. Superb writing experience with the most beautiful nib. I use F and I wouldn’t change. Thanks to appelboom for the great service and quick delivery.
Received the item faster than expected and the pen performed well. Inquiries were answered promptly and professionally. And with good prices this seller is highly recommended.
Montblanc 149 truly the masterpiece it claims to be

I was slow to actually jump on this top of line beauty. I love my 146s and therefore things were already perfect. However, after many, many years of lurking and watching everyone else’s joy and accolades, I bit the bullet for myself. It’s a wonderful addition and complement to the 146. Highly recommended.
This is a gorgeous pen with classic design and the communication with appelboom is great. I got a nib change in about 2 weeks as promised before them sending it. Definately will buy more from appelboom.
The pen arrived speedily in flawless condition. Thanks a lot for the delicious cookies included ;)
This classic beauty writes perfectly. I shall keep it as a family reserve.
Bought the 149 FP with customized medium nib. The ink flow is generous but not too much. Works very well with dark rich colors. The pen is quite big, looks great on a business desk. It has a classic look that oozes elegance and authority. Lastly, the service at Appelboom is great, as usual. This is my fifth pen I bought from them.
The Montblanc 149 Platinum has the same characteristics of the original model (perfect shape, light weight, large ink capacity), adding a classic and elegant note. The F nib is quite generous, tending to medium. The ink flow is perfect out of the box. I thank Appelboom for the usual excellent service!
