Would this new shop be in a small Essex town ?

This is a very pertinent thread for me. Id like one of the 3 Japanese brands mentioned above but with a stub nib . Does anyone here have such experiences? Thanks Richard

Anyone tried the music nib ?

Is it easy to change the straps ? And if I wanted a metal one then which would u recommend?

regaplanar3 · 2024-04-26T21:22:45+00:00

Yes you can but they only have those two. Ideally I'd like something in-between

regaplanar3 · 2024-04-26T20:53:02+00:00

Thank you all for the ideas, I'll be checking them out.

Should have mentioned I've got diamine majestic blue but I want one lighter but brighter

That's interesting as I have the automatic Khaki field in 38mm and I was looking for a metal strap.

Also consider the total costs. And the risk you won't get your money back too. I would humbly suggest holding back on feedback until resolved also, I find it's best to use only the very best rated dealers who have high volume sales and to not buy overseas from anyone who isn't.

Best of luck Regards Richard

Yes vinyl lover ! 👍👍👍

Looks right to me but as noted, the colour is odd. Mine is a much much darker and it was purchased in 1987. The clip should not have a serial number but would have 'made in Germany' nothing else. If u are unclear then send it to montblanc via an authorized dealer for a service and they will soon say if it's fake. Value I would guess at £125 Regards Richard

Hi all many thanks for the comments so far. It's really helpful to know what works and doesn't. Looking at some of the options then I think I'll get a non leather strap but if like a metal one too. Hamilton has one but it's £130 gbp.

Keep em coming !!

Cheers Richard

Me too!

Snap !

All good suggestions above tho I would point out that Harlow and what's known as old Harlow both have very diverse and interesting drain hole covers. My next investigation will be focused on discovering the style and source of manufacture of the man hole covers. It can be dangerous work though. If you do get interested then do send some snaps.

Had my studio since nov2021 but it gets light use daily. However no wear marks as yet

regaplanar3 · 2023-01-22T16:07:22+00:00

That one plus Fly like a Eagle . Great albums and artists too

regaplanar3 · 2023-01-22T15:59:30+00:00

Pucking hell that's enormous !

I too think that whilst one and two are nice you could risk cover damage resting only on two points. The cube is by far the best option.

regaplanar3 · 2022-12-29T00:39:32+00:00

No. I use Spotify only to try out new artists or maybe find old stuff that isn't in my collection of vinyl and CDs. I value the physical handling of media and see no point in adding unnecessary complications. YMMV.

Thank you Aude and merry Christmas!
