Ik kocht een tweedehands exemplaar van deze pen met een medium penpunt (volgens Appelboom) enkele weken geleden. De pen schrijft lekker glad en voelt aangenaam om vast te houden. De two-tone nib ziet er prachtig uit, met als enige minpuntje het feit dat Montblanc er niet op aangeeft wat de maat van de penpunt is.
De inkt vloeit goed en ik heb geen klachten over de vloei, de pen houdt mij goed bij tijdens het schrijven.
Wat betreft prijs en kwaliteit, hoewel ik zeer blij ben met mijn tweedehands exemplaar, weet ik niet of ik er de volle prijs voor zou betalen, vandaar dat ik prijs/kwaliteit vier sterren heb gegeven. Het is absoluut een prachtige pen met een klassiek ontwerp, maar of die "Montblanc tax" het waard is weet ik niet. Als de volle prijs geen belet is voor jou, koop dan zeker een van deze pennen. Als de prijs wel wat veel is voor jou, zoek dan misschien best een tweedehands examplaar.
The EF nib is very smooth for its fine point, with a properly adjusted flow, and writes really, really well on all paper. The grip and pen is gurthy and is something you should try for yourself.
Appelboom is to be commended for the prompt responses, quick service, and expedient delivery! Not once, nor twice. But every time you place an order and consistently over time - again and again and again! I love it, I trust it, and I can rely on it!
Great product, great vendor, and great experience1
I think there should be a 4th criteria for purchase experience on the ratings :) 5 stars!!
I bought Montblanc 149 in BB 6 months ago. I have been writing with this fountain pen ever since. I requested the nib to be checked prior the despatch. And oh my god - it is so smooth and juicy. I love every single ink I am putting in this pen, I can enjoy its quality and colour every moment.
The Appelboom service is amazing. Such a friendly and helpful staff. I hope they are going to open their branch in London as I probably will be their daily customer, if they do. Thank you so much Appelboom for such a lovely pen and your constant hyper care about the customer. You are the one of not many companies that they didn't forgotten what is important. Thank you Appelboom! You are the legend!
After much consideration I eventually ordered this pen with a fine nib. I am so pleased that I did, the writing experience is excellent, the pen is wonderfully smooth and there is plenty of ink flow.
For such a large pen it still manages to feel comfortable and well balanced in the hand.
The service from Appelboom was excellent as expected, the pen was delivered just two working days after I placed the order.
A great pen and great service.
La pluma tiene un diseño icónico de gran versatilidad dando oportunidad a realizar los trazos que se desean realizar. Particularmente, las formas de cada una de las letras que son escritas dentro de cada uno de los documentos o escrituras realizadas. En general, la pluma es de gran diseño y excede los requerimientos de escritura.
It's not always guaranteed that an expensive pen will write out of the box. I've had it happen a few times so I was very nervous about this pen, especially since I didn't see the option for Annabelle to tune it. I ordered off my phone so I could have missed the option somewhere. I was delighted when the pen wrote perfectly without any issues. It's everything I thought it would be. Also, even though my order didn't initially come through, Joost took care of it. My pen came gift-wrapped AND it came with two delicious Stroopwafels. I would definitely order again. My only regret is that I didn't try the italic nib but I've never written with one so I didn't want to risk it.
A classic beauty. A great writer. The pen is so comfortable in my hand. It’s girthy and great if you like girthy pens. I also can comfortably use the 146, but the 149 is great for my medium to small hands. I love my handwriting with the pen. The EF is smooth and thicker than my Japanese EF and F pens. It’s the broadest Western nib I can use. Highly recommend this one.
If you love your Sailor KoP then add this iconic pen of Mont Blanc. It is also known as El Presidente. Order from Appelboom Penen. Their service is flawless.
