Para los amigos que son Exploradores de Plumas Fuente les recomiendo esta "Obra maestra" ya que es sencilla pero sumamente elegante. Es mi primer MB149 y el nib Fino de rodio y oro rosa es lo mejor. Además personalizada con mi nombre. Gracias a Appleboom y su servicio al cliente por mantenerme al tanto del proceso de mi compra y envío, que solo demoró 4 días hábiles hasta México.

The Meisterstück is aptly named! This is my second MB149 but my first in the very beautiful rose gold. As befitting such a large pen I ordered it in the unique 3OB nib size. I am so impressed with this nib and the characterful line it lays down. If you are debating whether to get this large nib I recommend you do indeed, To me, on fountain pen friendly paper, the OBBB nib produces a line reminiscent of a 1.1 stub but with more character.
The MB149 is the premier fountain pen from the world’s preeminent maker and the craftsmanship is superb. The pen fits very comfortably in the hand and writes a silky smooth line. I am delighted with mine and I’m sure you will be too.

Ordered this in OBBB as I had heard they could go out of production. Rumour only or happening, I do not know, but I wanted to secure on. Appelboom delivers again, with the usual efficiency and promptness! I was prepared to wait for months, but that turned out not to be necessary.

Great nib on a great pen, writes big and fun, and the nib size and pen size feel proper and well balanced. Call me impressed!

Thanks again to the Appelboom Team for a great customer experience!

My first time purchase of a Montblanc fountain pen immediately turns me into a fan! I take this as a milestone for my fountain pen interests to finally set foot on Montblanc. The Meisterstuck 149 is quintessentially the flagship model showcasing the first class quality of this luxury pen maker. The nib is indeed an impressive performer. The black precious resin pen body is a classic but a bit too boring and plain to my taste. I am seriously considering my next Montblanc acquisition of a Meisterstuck Solitaire for a bit more sophisticated pen body design. Shopping at Appelboom is a pleasant experience. From ordering to delivery, everything went smoothly. I am becoming a regular customer now.

After a wait of over six months due to MB supply issues, I was delighted to finally receive my 149 pen with rose gold trim and a broad nib at Christmas time. Although the long delay was frustrating, holding and using my long-coveted pen has been a dream come true. The nib is perfect and is a joy to write with, plus it is just the right size and weight for my hands, given my arthritis issues. It has quickly become my preferred pen for daily journal writing. I am grateful to Appelboom for their excellent service as they strove to fulfill my order despite the unanticipated delivery delays. I highly recommend both the pen and Appelboom.

Excellent pen for daily writing but a little too large if one plans to write for more than 2 or 3 pages at a time (unless you have very big hands). But perfect for signature pen. For long session writers with medium or smaller hands, 146 might be a better choice. 149 has very smooth nib but might needs to be toned to your liking. One should consider getting medium or broad if you plan to adjust it later on.

I ordered the 149 as my own birthday gift, but it end up on backorder and waited almost 4 months until it arrive.
The pen itself writes perfectly out of the box, and really nothing I can complain about on its performance. I got the EF and it actually wites a pretty fine line unlike many european brands that EF writes like medium.

Thanks for appelboom's great service as always. I'm generally not a big fan of MB pens due to its being luxury brand. But after using it for a time and comparing it with sailor and visconti pens, I found the 149 is the real writing instrument for work instead of an iconic ornament.

I was not very keen on the black pen, but its large number 9 - 18k Rose gold nib and trim won me over.
It is an oversized pen, and the classic cigar shaped is something that you need to view and hold in person to appreciate the quality and its beauty.
I filled its reservoir via the smooth inbuilt piston which the Montblanc fountain pens are well known for. When placing this pen on paper, it writes smoothly with pencil like feedback and is a wet writer. However, the 18k gold medium point nib is stiff, as there is no soft feel to it.
It is very well balanced and comfortable to hold, given that I have a small writing hand. Its section is thicker than the majority of the fountain pens that I own, but after a few pages of hand writing, I have yet to experience any fatigue.
This pen is beautiful, and I do not regret of purchasing it. It will remain as one of my most used pens for everyday writing.

I’ve been looking for companies that offer broader nibs and factory specialties. My BB 149 writes more like a stub but I love the way that it writes. The nib exchange by Appelboom was smooth and speedy. This was also the best price on a brand new MB I could find anywhere. Great transaction for a pen I am loving. Highly recommended.

I enjoy writing with the Yellow Gold and Platinum version of the 149 / 146 so much that I had to complete the series with the Red Gold pens. Both are fantastic as expected. Ordering from Appelboom was extremely easy. Joost - thanks for taking care of me!!

Ordered the 149 with Rose Gold trim several months ago. The 149 is an incredibly well made. Lighter in weight than expected, but very solid feeling. Ordered with the Medium nib size. Writing experience is excellent, no skips, no issues. Service from Appelboom was excellent. Price was the best I could find from an Authorized dealer. Happy customer here.

I had this pen for just shy of a week now, writing almost exclusively with it. Before I ordered it, I was nervous about the size, as many reviews were stating it is too big for anything but signatures. That is false! I find the size makes it the most comfortable pen i have to write with fling long periods. I have more fountain pen than I need, from Sailor profit to the Visconti Oversized, but this one is by far the most comfortable to write with. The black resin with red gold is a very classy subdued statement. After a quick rinse, the pen performed flawlessly. The big #9 nib is a thing of beauty that I catch myself staring at while writing. From the store to my house in Canada took only four days. My experience with Appelboom was very pleasant and I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

It is the best balance among the pens I have used so far. Design is pretty and durability is good. I'm using an EF nib, and it's splitting well.

This pen continues to impress me after several months of use. I go back and forth using this 149 and a Platinum 146, and each time I pick up the larger one I want to stay with it. Quality feel and appearance, well beyond any of the other (many) high-end pens that I own.
But more importantly, I wish to praise Appelboom for their communication, rapid service, attention to detail and obvious integrity. If only all retailers could do so much!

The Montblanc 149 OB arrived long before I expected and was a wonderful surprise! The pen is perfect, the nib is ideal for me and is buttery smooth. I usually have to refine a nib, if not completely re-grind to the style I prefer. But this one is already ideal, smooth and easy to glide over the paper.
Your service and attention to my order was exemplary. I will certainly purchase from you again in the future.

“There are hundreds of reviews on the Montblanc 149 published on the internet of arguably the finest writing instrument ever made. Suffice to say that the design, quality and impeccable finish of this instrument is an example for other manufacturers to follow in the making of superlative fountain pens. My pen is the Montblanc 149 in rose (red) gold. The fact that this design has stood the test of time, says enough about its unique positioning in the wonderful world of fountain pens. One standout feature is of course the OBBB nib ordered with my pen which writes beautifully. The nib is smooth with wonderful ink flow. The nib balances superbly with the heft of this pen. The nib was retrofitted by Montblanc prior to being shipped to me by Appelboom. Appelbooms’ service is outstanding. The pen reached me in approximately ten days. Without doubt, I shall go back to them for my future orders. Rest assured - you shall not regret it, if you choose them as your supplier.....!!

I am truly impressed with this wonderful Meisterstück Red Gold 149. The red gold really is striking in richness and compelling even though I usually avoid gold trim. The contrast of the red gold with the deep black luster of the resin is beautifully balanced and captivating.
Montblanc are masters of detail from the bold inlaid snow cap to flawless engraving on the band and especially the nib. The magnificent #9 nib (EF on mine) gives just the right feedback while also being smooth, precise and consistent. I can easily write all day with this 149 very comfortably. It has been in almost constant daily use since arriving (a full Rhodia tablet and part of a Mnemosyne filled!) and I love writing with it.
Appelboom quickly has become the only source for Montblanc and other brands for me. It's a pleasure to order and I appreciate the personal interest, attention and excellence that is delivered so quickly to me in the US.
