That is a ballpoint, not rollerball. Options are Gen MB ballpoint refill and Monteverde Gel refill for Mont Blanc.

But I do have the rollerball version of it coming as well (well, the one with the cap). Already have a bunch of ballpoint refills.

How much smaller are they running? 1 size? Are they all generally the same quality in terms of logo placement?

Rep rollerball refills are not bad - just each one have varying tip thickness. I would go for Gen refills - rollerball or fineliner. It is possible to refill the refills. There are instruction videos in youtube.

Where do you score the rep fine liners?

Got my $13 MB Midnight Black SW pen that others were buying for $27. Looks pretty good but I need to pick up some genuine rollerball refills unless anyone has some suggestions. Is it perfect? Of course not. You can't get 1:1 reps of MB. But it's $13 vs $525.

I love the look of this pen. You probably posted the link to Ali about 7500 pages ago; could you post it again? Thanks

Does the seller give you the choice between custom fit and classic fit? I don't see that option anywhere in the seller's options. Or do they just arrive custom fit? I apologize if you already mentioned this.

You didn't by any chance happen to order brown, orange, bergundy/wine, yellow, pink, or sky blue did you? Just wondering if you have real world pics of those colors. I'm just looking to round out my solid colors with those. I have every other color in gen. I also want more stripes, but I didn't see any of those featured.

Sorry to be a pain in the butt. If you get a chance, could I see what the sky blue, wine, and purple look like? You can even just PM a pic to me, too. No worries if it is too much trouble. I ordered an orange one as a test.

No worries. Thanks for the pics. It is such a shame that they put the pony where they did. It takes no more effort to just put it in the right spot. :facepalm: I never would have noticed it before, but now it is all I can see.

Well g*ddamn. Here's something very interesting. Someone mentioned Slick Deals earlier in this thread, so I just went there. There isn't anything currently offered, but an old deal took me right to the Macy's website. When looking at RL Polos on the Macy's website, sure as sh*t, the pony is actually positioned almost in the identical spot as these!! With the gen striped and solids, fancy PIMA cotton or regular, classic or custom fit, the middle of the pony is lined up with the bottom of the seam for the buttons. It is this way for every new RL Polo on the website.

All of my gens in my closet are in a completely different spot - lower down and farther over. So clearly RL has changed the position of the pony for new shirts and now I am dated! LOL So these reps are actually 98% spot on now.

This is his collection as of this week. http://v.yupoo.com/photos/13751756688/albums/12227336/

I remember some striped polos in here. They keep it up to date kindof, his English is pretty good. Likes to refer to the Item# off this site, if it doesn't have a number he might still have it. need to ask.

Good luck!
