@jack I hope to have the cash to buy the fountain pen version by the time I'm 40

@hjertnes I received a Meisterstruck rollerball 20 years ago as a gift and I still use it. It's broken and kind of a mess but still one of my favorites to hold and write with. Plus as 50+ year old fella, I like how they look!

@kulturnation The nib is fixed, unless you get Lamy to sell you a replacement. You can unscrew it. I prefer broads; pun intended.

@hjertnes I enjoy my Lamy Scala and Studios. I normally prefer F or EF, these have 1.1 nibs (the easy nib switch is awesome). I heard about some nib / writing problems with the 2000, guess you don’t have any. Looking online at the black 2000 that I really like: the nib is fixed?

@kulturnation And the MB Meisterstruck or what's it's called looks very presidential

@kulturnation You buy a MB for the same reason you buy a Rolex. I love my Lamy 2K for the same reason I love Leica M's quality and my favorite style of German design

@hjertnes As an old man I like old man aesthetics :) Will not forget when I showed my wife a pic of the M800 Tortoiseshell Brown and her reaction was „YUK!“ - guess I better do not buy that beauty. I find some parallels to pipe (designs) where taste is very personal.

@kulturnation I think Pelikan has too much of the old man aesthetics
