I bought a montblanc pen from timesshop, but it cost $58. Looking at the other prices I think I overpaid several times over!![]()
Narikaa.
I own some gen and several rep MB pens and the reps are really just for show. The ball point fills are horrible (squeaky and thin paste) and in the fountain pens it is a cheap mechanism inside with a low grade feather. Don't expect anything fancy for this amount of money! The pens I got from Hont even had a nice MB box and a booklet.
If you want something that lasts get a gen pen because feather and mechanism are way better than in the rep.
I do not understand this Rep thing if you want something to work with quality then buy a Gen or do not complain. A watch is bad enough at least it tells time but to buy a Rep pen to sit on your desk what kind of fake person are you. Buy what you can afford and don't pretend to be something you are not.
can't you just swap out the refill for a gen? wouldn't that work for the ball point?
