Review Title: If you are deciding to buy the 149, here are the reasons I did

I have bought two 149, both from Appelboom.

You may be debating whether to buy this item. Only you can decide but here were my considerations:

- High quality of build, from nib to piston to cap, very very well done.

- Lighter than it looks. Heavier pens may feel impressive for 5 minutes but this is one you can write with for hours.

- Many nib options all time tested and superbly crafted. There is even a nib exchange program. Mine are BB and OBBB but you can suit your preference.

- Finally I can say I have them on my desk at work and home all day and evening long.

For price and customer care I would only look to Appelboom.

Review Title: Montblanc 149, O3B

This is a pen I had to think long and hard about getting. I knew, on one hand, that it would be perfect for me. I knew I liked the feel in hand of the 149, and I had tried an O3B nib on someone else's 149 and loved it. Price was the only thing that held me back. When I finally pulled the trigger I ended up with a pen that has become a favorite of mine. The nib is very smooth , and has tons of lovely line variation due to it's shape. To get the O3B nib the pen has to travel to Montblanc for a nib exchange, which to me seemed like a daunting process, however Appelboom made it easy and did it for me, something I really appreciate. Overall it is an expensive pen, but I haven't regretted my purchase. Furthermore, Appelboom's excellent service has won a repeat customer! -B
