Back in the days of my highly ego-motivated management work, I bought myself a present. I went walking into an Office Depot store one day and, with a sense of worthiness and self-deservedness, laid down about $80. to buy myself one of these pens. I had coveted them in the pockets and in the hands of others for many years - now it was MY turn! I bought a couple of extra (Medium Black) refills, put the thing in my shirt pocket and went on my way feeling as though I had just invested in acknowledging my own success.
Over the ensuing years (nearly 20 of them), I have used this pen nearly daily and while, at first, it seemed a bit to heavy and wide, my hand quickly adjusted to it's feel. I simply love it. The refills manufactured for it by Mont Blanc are, incidentally, FAR superior to the second-rung "Fits Mont Blanc" refills available at most office supply stores and are consistent with the instrument itself.
But, I am writing this review, in large part to comment on my experience with the Warrantee - said (and written) to be "... for the lifetime of the original owner." I have seen many such warrantees and guarantees in my life and have adjusted my expectations about their fulfillment down to a level commensurate with my actual experience. The Mont Blanc was an exception. Together with its flawless heavy highly polished black resin case, 24-karat gold appointments and amazingly smooth scripting, one needs to hold and write with it to fully appreciate both its enduring beauty AND functionality.

MontBlanc Meisterstuck Platinum Line Classique Ballpoint Pen - Black
If you want to know how it feels to write with a pen that is the epitome of "class"--then this pen is for you! Its weight is perfect; the line is smooth and even; and every word feels exquisite.
I've never been so happy with a pen--and I'd wanted this very pen for the longest time. Best buy I've ever made!

Mont Blanc MEISTERSTUCK CLASSIC BALLPOINT PEN
You won't find a better ball-pen than this one. They write very smooth and even.
It has a beautiful design. By its weight and the curves of its body, you have a firm and steady grip on the ball-pen.
In short: it's a work of art. If you don't use the pen for a few days the ink will dry up a little but when you use it again it regains its smoothness very rapidly. This is the best ball-pen you can buy.
