See the many fine rings it has? The black and silver? The two black rings?
I take simplicity to the extremes I guess. I like simple, clean, straight designs. Nothing fancy at all. "Less is More" is one of my favourite proverbs. And this applies to design too.
So, as much as I appreciate the gift, I just had to exchange it. I want to have a gift that I like. It still seems unethical to me, but I proceeded. I went with my wife to Mont Blanc in Seef Mall with the Pen. I didn't have a receipt. So I did not know if they would accept an exchange. I just told them I got it as a gift two days ago, and I want to exchange it. They gladly exchanged it for another.
So now, I have a gift from my dear friends and colleagues, and it is something I like. A clean, straight, and simple, yet sophisticated Mont Blanc.
I also like the fact that this pen has a cap that you need to screw to open/lock it. It sorts of lets you think before you use the pen. Not just any cap you get from a Bic. You make sort of an effort to use it. After all you are using a Mont Blanc :-)
What do you think?

Good move man. Now you have a gift from your friends that you actually love :)
BTW, I didn't know about it until you showed it to me so don't blame me for the choice. I too like the simple stuff.
And what's with the shop and the exchange without a receipt. That's a lovely gesture you don't find anymore these days.
Exquisite simplicity, that's what I like about Mont blanc pens. Though their high-class pieces with diamonds are not exactly pens. A writing instrument should not cost as a rolls-royce.
I just purchased one from EngravablyYours.com and I'm very happy with it. They have a very nice selection of Montblanc pens.
Hi,
I have gone through from your post it is very nice. You have defined the Mont Blanc Pen, it is one of the new styles, and I generally love their products. To get know more about the Mont Blanc Pen kindly visit at Mont Blanc Pen
