Hey. What is it that's convincing you to get the ballpoint over the types? My local authorised dealer had a 25% sale on the ballpoint and rollerball today and I opted for the ballpoint based on a whim. I'm not really sure about the pros or cons of either so would appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance!
These pens hold value. Have a look on ebay and get an idea of what a second-hand one will cost. If you buy a used one in good condition, and look after it, you'll find it will hold its value well and resell it later on for a similar price, or even more depending on the rarity of it. High end ones cost thousands of dollars, such as the Skeletal and ones made with rare rock used in Ramses II types.
I have a very old M. S. Avatar...looks exactly like this one.. a friend gave it to me when his Mom died. It had a crappy ballpoint, so I put in my favorite Dr grip center of gravity insert. Had to do a simple rig and it works amazing!
So why are you even watching videos of expensive pens if you're that negative about them. Why is it wasting money: the sales persons have a job, the people who make them have a job, the people who service them have a job, the office personnel have a job.
I have an original pen Montblanc with a serial number BX1213904. It looks like Classique 164. It also has initials MZ. Maybe do You know, where can I find information about this pen? Year of manufacture, etc.
Rollerball is superior to ballpoint. I couldn't believe just how easy flowing it is to use. But my MontBlanc collection includes ballpoints, pencils, rollerballs and, of course, fountains which includes a magnificent Vermeil fountain with barley lines. This collection sits alongside a bunch of fabulous Parker 51s - many with double jewels from the first year of 1941 onwards and a couple with solid gold clips and rare colours such as buckskin beige. I love collecting pens like these. Beautiful.
hi, I have the same one. I have got it as a present for a while. I am wondering how I can change the lead. I have tried to do disassamble it several times but I could not find out the right way. I would appriciate very much if you could show it in a video.
I'm thinking of getting a Meisterstuck. I found one for $100, like you did. I'm not too familiar with Mont-Blanc pens, on this model, does the cap come off? Also is your's the Le Grand or the Classique?
so the point is, you can buy a fiat500 or a porsche, both of them willdrive you were you want to be. I love my montblanc... I´ve been to the montblanc boutique ... that pens are handmade and absolutely beautiful...so if you dont want to spend so uchmoey for a pen, get a cheap one. it´s your choice
What's a second hand gold one go for? I have one that still has all the original packaging. Never been used and only been taken out of the box twice to look at.
+Bluegray38 LOL...I was wondering the same thing before I bought my first Montblanc. If you haven't had a chance to try it yet, it writes like a Cross ballpoint if you ever used one. It's better than a Bic in terms of smoothness and saturation of color (for black ink at least), and the refill lasts forever it seems. If you want a solid refillable ballpoint pen whose proprietary refills write exceptionally well for ballpoints, I'd go with either Parker or Waterman. Waterman, for me, makes better looking pens, but their refills are strictly Waterman refills. Don't get me wrong, I still use my Montblancs, but I find using my Parker or Waterman ballpoints is more enjoyable.
I don't get why this pen is $300. The lacquer and the cap and all that should cost no more than $20 to manufacture and the refill is probably about $2 at most. For a fountain pen, you pay for the craftsmanship of the nib, feed and piston-fill mechanism. which would still cost less than RRP for a Montblanc FP, there's a lot more variety between each FP.
I've used one of these pens that my sister bought for me... and I have also used a pilot G2 and inkjoy pens and they all write equally as well to me. Plastic pen with a basic ink refill for 100 bucks. ridiculous
That's a matter of opinion, some people just prefer the simplicity and practicality of a ballpoint but still want something nice. I have several nice ballpoints from Pelikan, Lamy, Waterman and I enjoy all of them. And most of them I got for under a hundred dollars (vintage pen hunting is a hobby of mine) Imo a ballpoint is a very practical pen, while a liquid ink pen (rollerball/f. pen) is more of a hobby or a luruxy. If you don't have a thick higher grade paper the liquid ink and scratchy point if the nib will tear the paper easily
WTF! Why are you watching this video if you're down on expensive pens. It seems your time would be better spent going to Office Depot and buying a box of Bic pens. But walk or ride your bike to the store so you don't add carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Gee, what a bunch of sour grapes.
What is the point of buying the ballpoint Meisterstuck? You may as well just buy the ink refills and put them in a $1 pen. The fountain pen is superior by far.
This pen was made to get the higher class to spend money on them to think they're better than others, grab a normal pen screw paying 200-500$ for a pen you're going to lose. Or keep getting scammed.
Don't be a sourpuss. So what if someone wants to buy this pen. If it doesn't fit your lifestyle or budget then why are you watching this video? Or one about Visconti, Marlen, Montegrappa? People write with whatever they like to use.
He says "fountain pens aren't really my thing"...why would you spend $100+ on a ballpoint pen? Ridiculous...unless you just want to be ostentatious. I can understand totally buying a $300+ fountain pen...at least you get some unique character with your purchase...you'd have to hold a gun to my head for me to spend more than $5 on a ball point pen...i don't care if it has a montblanc logo on it or not.
I was really debating which type to buy but now I'm convinced the ballpoint is the way to go. Thank you so much!!

@@mazrashid6549 I’m 2 years late lol. I have both. Rollerball dries out way more quickly. They’re both amazing though

I want to pick one of these up one day
I am really starting to love these pens lol
Thanks for introducing Montblanc to me
Mine came free with my breitling and I love it.

a wise man once said if you keep losing your pens your pens are not expensive enough
beautiful design, i love mont blanc pens

What is the size of ur Meisterstuck? Is it the classic, Medium or the Le Grand model size? It was nitmentioned.
They make starwalker in ballpoint too. you can have the convenience of a "twist" pen without the cap.
Absolutely beautiful piece.

A question: How do you replace the ink?
You can purchase replacement Mont Blanc ballpoint cartridges from Amazon in assorted colors for about $20
Love that miesterstuck.
Can someone tell me what Montblanc has engraved on the underside of the clip of this pen?
You said you use this pen while traveling. IS that for business purposes and you use the pen for documents etc?
Does it rusty easily? its plated isnt it.
Or did u get it replaced, if so how much?
Regards
so the point is, you can buy a fiat500 or a porsche, both of them willdrive you were you want to be. I love my montblanc... I´ve been to the montblanc boutique ... that pens are handmade and absolutely beautiful...so if you dont want to spend so uchmoey for a pen, get a cheap one. it´s your choice
I have this one. I hardly use it. I don't like ballpoint. Can I use rollerball refill? What is the refill number? Thanks,good video sir.
Open it up and there is a code. Type it in on google.
How do you refill it and add new ink? have the same one in Burgundy passed down to me, thank you
Mont Blanc sells ballpoint cartridges in black and blue
Is that the Le Grand or Classique?
What's a second hand gold one go for? I have one that still has all the original packaging. Never been used and only been taken out of the box twice to look at.
I don't know why i don't have any high end pens. I spend that much on a knife why shouldn't I buy a pen?
ok so um.... what is a mont blanc pen i would like to know
I would take a look for a montblanc boutique near to you... tehre you get an excellent service
How do you change the refill on a MontBlanc Meisterstuck Classique Ballpoint pen?
It's in the manual that comes with the pen.
Just like any other pen. You unscrew it and put a new ball point refill in the barrel, then screw it back together. That's it!
How do you open it? thank you
@@anne-charlottedutilleul5861 twist
Do you recommend buying these online? How much do they run?
300+
@tnhngle
The word PIX
Pen review but you didn’t take it apart?
it would have nice to actually talk about it WRITES!

Has anyone tried the G2 hack with Mont Blanc refills vs the Mont Blanc with G2 refills?
I don't get why this pen is $300. The lacquer and the cap and all that should cost no more than $20 to manufacture and the refill is probably about $2 at most. For a fountain pen, you pay for the craftsmanship of the nib, feed and piston-fill mechanism. which would still cost less than RRP for a Montblanc FP, there's a lot more variety between each FP.
I've used one of these pens that my sister bought for me... and I have also used a pilot G2 and inkjoy pens and they all write equally as well to me. Plastic pen with a basic ink refill for 100 bucks. ridiculous
I suppose you drive a Yugo as well?
One question: if you bought it on eBay, how can you be certain you didn't buy a knockoff?
got a nice parker recently
100 dollars is still too much for a ballpoint pen. Fountain pens are the way to go.
That's a matter of opinion, some people just prefer the simplicity and practicality of a ballpoint but still want something nice. I have several nice ballpoints from Pelikan, Lamy, Waterman and I enjoy all of them. And most of them I got for under a hundred dollars (vintage pen hunting is a hobby of mine)

WTF! Why are you watching this video if you're down on expensive pens. It seems your time would be better spent going to Office Depot and buying a box of Bic pens. But walk or ride your bike to the store so you don't add carbon emissions to the atmosphere.
Gee, what a bunch of sour grapes.
In Italy € 240,00 platinum
is that a real gold?? what k?
Gotta Remember at 300$ its their cheapest pens
how can you do a review and not show its writing quality. makes no sense to me
I prefer a Bic.
What is the point of buying the ballpoint Meisterstuck? You may as well just buy the ink refills and put them in a $1 pen. The fountain pen is superior by far.
I bet he wants a porsche and would buy one if he had the money.
eBay? equals Fake
you have found fake :))
Swiss, but well (;
My #2 mechanical pencil will shit on this

Wouldn't you feel like a douchebag if you paid all that money for one of these and find that it takes a Pilot G2 refill?
