This is my first gold nib and I am sure notice the different of writing experience offered by this pen. I love the nib, smooth and just glide on paper with good amount of ink. Also the overall appearance no gaudy at all and just suit my taste.
This is a classic pen which deserves a place in everyone’s collection. I have it with an OBBB nib and it is stunning. The nib performs as expected from this premium pen. Even though it’s a big pen, it’s not heavy and has amazing ink capacity. I love the ink window and platinum finishes. Amazing!!
149 has been a outstanding pen for a very long time, with its legacy, quality and history attached to 149, it is a must in collection of a pen lover. I have acquired an OB MB149 PT (gold is too blingy as per my choice), and I love it very much and recommend to my friends..
This is the second 149 PT and I ordered it here wirh the B nib, the other one being a O2B.
The pen is incredible. The balance is superb, even with smaller hands there is no issue at all. Writing for a long stretch does not tire the hand, because it feels natural with the balance.
After using the 149s on a daily basis, the 146 unfortunately feels a bit too small... Never have I thought this would happen.
The Platinum finish gives a special touch, as lots of MB pen around me are in gold. With the 149 already impressing with its size, the platinum finish gives kind of an understatement. I always felt a bit looked at with the gold finish of my 146 that happens less now.
For the shopping experience: it's perfect to order here. Quick shipment, tracking number sent out the next day and all went snooth. Thank you all for the great service!
Montblanc has done it again! They've exceeded my expectations with this pen. The PT 149 is well-balanced, classy, and writes like a dream. Very satisfied with Montblanc and Appelboom, again!
This is my third Montblanc 149 that I have ordered from Joost, and the Appelboom team. The pen is incredible, and in a collection filled with pens, I am constantly carrying one of the three 149’s in my routine rotations. It’s the quintessential business fountain pen- the size and girth are perfect, as if magically created for my hand. The pen is smooth, well-flowing and a pleasure to write with. I’ve had Joost secure an O3B model for me twice now, and his service is superb! Two week turnaround and I had the pen at my door. I can’t think of any other company who can do that, or consistently provide such amazing customer service, continuously speaking. After a year of growing my collection through Appelboom, I can say that they have earned all my pen fund money with their incredible service - I’m a fan for life! Thanks, Joost!
I already own a Montlanc 149 in B nib and i love the broad nibs so i decided to buy from Appelboom 3 149 in BB nib (gold, red gold and platinum trim) and 3 149 in O3B nib (gold, red gold and platinum trim).
The 149 it's an expensive pen maybe too expensive but you pay also for the Montblanc brand and for to have an exclusive product.
Nevertheless the pen it's fantastic, a truly classical look that become more modern in red gold and platinum trim. Despite it's a big pen it's comfortable also for my small hands.
BB and O3B nibs are smooth, lays down a lot of ink and thanks to their stubbish quality you have a lot of line variations (more in the oblique) that add character to your writing. It's a joy to write with.
The O3B nibs despite this width are very fexible and if you don't need to write ultra small letters you can also use it for daily writing.
I hope that Montblanc still continue to produce this fantastic broader and stubbish nibs.
The MB Meisterstück is a true masterpiece. The pen exudes grace, style and authority. The resin body is a classic cigar with thick contour and the famous star atop the cap. The 18K nib is beautiful large. and screams for attention. Out-of-the-box, the “F” nib is smooth, wet and a joy to write with. The line is a thicker fine, perfect for daily writing. Just a hint of feedback. No skips or hard starts. Very juicy. The quality control is clearly outstanding. I could not be happier with this pen, or the first-class service and advice from Mr Joost Apelboom. Final thought – the MB Meisterstück really is worth every penny. Don't hesitate. Life is short.
I have been converted to write with fountain pens 5 years ago. And this pen was on my watch list all along because it is a Montblanc and everyone seemed hyped about it. Finally I got it! Once I held it in my hand I understood why! The way it feels in my hand is not like any other pen and I owe some. It feels so elegant and luxurious and the way Montblanc pay attention to details make it feel that way.
However I felt a bit disappointed when I first started writing because the pen had some hard starting issues which was anticlimactic. But with time and after couple of cleaning and flushing the pen start writing like a charm and it added to the fine feeling when holding it.
Finally in a nutshell this pen should be the flagship of any fountain pen lover to use it in a special occasion meetings and signing or even to write your daily notes and thoughts after a full day.
