Watermans ideal 52 Red Ripple “Wet Noodle” Review 4k
I think the 1903 is missing something inside where the ink goes. Mine has a little do dad in it.
Can't see a thing, you could have given a writing sample. Not very helpful.
Beautiful pen 😍 My grail pen is a vintage montblanc 146. One day I'll be lucky 🖋️✍️😁
write too small... dont see the perfomance properly.
M800 vs M1000?
Hermosa lapicera.
The 777 is a rare example of a retro watch done right. However, to me, the extra mm in both thickness and length make it wear completely differently - the 6309 just sneaks in on the acceptable side of large and flat. The 77* family also appears to have a cast, shiny bezel with a very light spring versus a milled bezel with a satisfying click ball on the 6309. The 77* family also suffers from modern Seiko's QC problems. Q: How do you spot a fake Seiko? A: The bezel, dial and rehaut all line up. But. Good luck buying a decent, unmolested 6309. Minefield!
Crown position of the srp777 is slightly different to the 6309 as it falls at approx 18 minute mark not the 20 past mark.
Yes -Plus the chapter ring is less prominent or steeped on the 6309 /6306.
My 144 is a screw cap rather than a slip cap- purchased at the Charlotte MB Boutique. I didn’t think this model ever came in a slip cap. How unusual : 144, 145, 146 and 149 are all screw caps.
my 144 is identical to yours and has the earlier slip cap, later on they went to the screw cap.
Thank you very much for a great video.
both of these are great. the black dial black bezel new models are excellent all rounders, but the vintage models do have something a little special that puts them ahead. i currently have 4 6309s and 3 6306s 🤓
What ink is in the introduction
Petrol Blue by Mont Blanc
What is a converter, how do you identify it, what does it do?
I have a 144 I think it’s old
Did you have any skipping problems
No, I did not-
@@thependemicwithbruce2141 luncky!
Yes, we have skipping problems, especially when writing a O. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
@@paulasmith3577 if you bought it from the boutique, they will service it for free within a year. Otherwise you can pay for it. If that is not what you want, try cleaning it just with water. If it were cartridge type then you can use a little bit of detergent because there is no grease applied but for the piston type like 149, you might wanna just use water.
i honestly thought i was the only guy who is collecting pens in his teens but nvm ig 😭😭
It is not a snowflake on the top of the cap of the MB fountain pens (and the MB trademark symbol) but a symbol that represents the snow cap on the summit of Mont Blanc mountain, Europe's highest mountain, located in the French Alps. And the 4810 engraved on the nib represents the height (in meters) of Mont Blanc mountain.
Hi i have a black Duofold from 1912 the filler is jsmmed u cannot unscrew it help!
I remember wearing my 6309-7040 (Turtle) in the 1980s during the height of the Quartz Crisis/Craze, thinking that this is just the best watch design ever. Perfect legibility, perfect comfort, perfect complications, perfect toughness, and perfect durability. (Pause to check wrist) Yep, it still is.
to everyone viewing: note that they both aren't the SRPE93K1 (which I was looking for), which has a small lumed index at the three o'clock position, right next to the date field
Correct, it is the SRP777
Why do you need pens with such huge nibs that you won’t be able to write with for a long time ? How to compensate for your complexes ???
that was a lot of strikes. would help if you had a 90 gegree or 45 degree camera angle
Meisterstuck was released in 1924 not 1929
Thank you for this review. I was debating on buying this but now I will.
Does Montblanc nib has greater quality than Pelikan
Definitely a controversial question but when it comes to the modern pens I would say yes.
Hi is it thinner in comparison with Pilot Metropolitan M ? Thank you
@@NurCakr I believe it is a bit thicker
@@thependemicwithbruce2141 I mean what about the nib? Is it similar in terms of writing thickness?
Fantastic watch, best diver ever imo!
Lovely pen. Personally, I went for the 146, found the size 9 nib a bit too big for me. The 146 is my daily writer.
Mine is a hard starter, and bit scratchy
@@mmmssbb23 sorry to hear that. I’m using a medium nib with Iroshizuku ink. Seems to flow nicely.
149 has a #8 nib
@@subhadipmaji4987 suggest you check your facts. A quick search would show it’s a #9 nib. My 146 has a #6 nib.
@@chrisb012 the one i am using is rhodium plated 146,fine nib. I even sent it to MB for repair, found a slight improvement afterwards. Still not satisfied. The pelikan m205 & pilot metropolitan is far better than my mb146. Yeah, currently i inked with pilot ama iro ink.
Ink capacity is wrong . About 1.3ml ink it holds
Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind for future reference.
Turtles are my favorite watches ever.
Great comparison, thanks for the review!
Camera needs to follow the conversation. 😒
Thank you for the helpful video but the framing is a bit off. Would have been helpful to move frame up quite a bit.
My dad just gave me a box of old lever pens so I wanted to make sure I knew how to open it, all I have to really do is slowly work with the levers till they are easy to open and I have to replace some of the nibs but that's about it other than refilling them
Nice haul. I like both the pens and the ink is a lovely colour.
I went crazy and bought a Jinhao 9019. Oh oh I feel I just broke wind at a fancy party 😢
Hi Bruce! You didn't go crazy this year? (As Bruce shows us a mega $ MB 149)
cool. now how do i empty the damn thing
Aside from fountain pens, I also love mechanical watches. I love the Seiko watches. These Turtles are very nice.
Thank you for this. I got a Waterman 555 from a family member and couldn't figure out how it was filled.
Useful video thank you. Wish I could see the ink
Pelikan all models r very great and my favourite is M600 I find that it's better than my Meiesterstuck 149
Hi. Just found the video. Great content. I have that exact pen, and it came with a half-inch silver Pilot circle sticker. The sticker reads the nib size. Did your pen also come with it.
Yes, I removed it after purchasing it.
Thanks for a great video. Love your pen. Your handwriting is beautiful.
Beautiful pens man
I never thought the pen from Tom and Jerry was real
Hope y'all enjoy!
Have you tried to eyedropper this pen with rollerball? Thanks for the video.
With this section it's not possible due to it using a standard refill. But now a new section is available from Schon Dsgn which does allow it!
What nib did you have installed? What did Mike do to it?
I just got gifted by proxy of a lady dropping off boxes at the antique room I work for , it was a 1941 to45 sheafers lifetime white dot fountain pen. It is the golden brown and pearl stripe gold nib. Than you for showing me how to fill this I was stumped , I think I got the best gift I could have ad a poet and writer. The handwritten. Paper with it says it was available almost exclusively to G.I during WW2. ITS WORKIMG AND IM ABOUT TO WRITE. It's engraved too,
Congrats! Glad this helped!
ENJOY!
