Montblanc Meisterstuck Fountain Pen 146Lighter than what I had expected. The gold plating on its cap is lighter than Parker Sonnet. But the polish on the body is more shiny than Parker. The gold nib is of M size with the number 4810 carved (understand it is the height of Mont Blanc). The ink pump works by turning the rear of the pen in clockwise motion. It is 6 times more expensive than the Parker. Bought at Bee Kar at People's Park Complex with full warranty of 2 years. It has strong rooted history and Montblanc is the "Rolex" of pen. Depreciated it will be.
Parker Sonnett GT Roller Ball
Matt black. The deep coloured gold is in strong contrast with the black body. Heavier and shorter than MB. Does not need to turn to pull the cap. The closing sound of the cap is nice. Bought it at Popular Bookstore. Overall value for money. Parker has a strong history but the prices can range from a few dollars to hundreds. It makes consumer difficult to associate it with a prestige product. I have owned Parker since High School/College days as it is always easy on the price.
2 of them are good pens, but for working, I have my reliable Pilot V5. Nothing to shout about but always a good workhorse.
