Montblanc products.

[Anonymous No.10437408]

I know I shouldn't piss my money away but I have grown to like the Montblanc quality. I was Googling for Cufflinks and other products when I came across this website: http://www.themontblanc.com/ - Can I assume these are all counterfeit? Any way to tell? The prices there are a fraction of the actual costs that I'm seeing in the physical stores. Are the stores marking up their prices or are these just fakes marked down?

Why do people wear things with big ass logos on them? Those cufflinks are literally only a logo

Montblanc is a Kraut company built upon the marketing affectation of having Swiss prestige and heritage. Pleb tier dogshit brand as they come.

That website is so goddamn sketchy - I wouldn't buy anything from them.

Would anyone here wear these? Montblanc platinum plated cuff-links with pink topaz crystal inserts. Too feminine? Remember that pink used to be a mans color... is it coming back?

>quality
Hahahaha nigga what are you doing
You get MB for status, not quality. I don't know about their other products but their pens are shit.
There's tons of higher quality pens, both cheaper and more expensive if that's what you want.

If I wore cuff-links and had those laying around, I'd probably wear them.

>>10437732
Coming from a guy with over 15 Montblanc pens (most inherited), not a single one can be considered anything less than good quality.

Status is a plus.

The problem is people just paying a lot of money to be a walking billboard.

Buy understated, classic stuff and don't decorate your body with ostentatious tasteless logos. It's the mark of the insecure and those who want to look 'rich' unless they're nouveau riche so by definition tasteless.

>You will never see a billionaire wearing louis vuitton shirts and true religion jeans and a gucci watch. Remember this the next time you have an impulse to buy a 'luxury' product because of the status you think it will give you.

No, but a lot of older business types think it does.

Hilariously, the older businessmen I know (who are, honestly, multi-millionaires, so much richer than I) barely know how to use their Montblanc pens. I've seen them fuck up and spill ink all over themselves multiple times.

It does, but to a small degree.

As somebody in sales, a good quality pen gives a good impression when offering a proposal on paper. It needs to have a solid feeling in your hand, it shows professionalism. It sounds crazy, solid proposal + solid pen = solid decision. Makes closing easier.

A $30 Fisher AG7 has been my weapon for years.

I've seen the classic "black with gold/silver trim" Montblanc pens used by all the major studio executives in Hollywood. They use them for client meetings and to close deals all the time. The other place they seem to be showing up is in the hands of real-state agents and advertising studio executive staff.

Seems a lot of serious people handle and use these pens. What's interesting is that this series of pen (the Meisterstuck series from Montblanc) is a design from the 1940s.

What I don't know about is the benefits of paying over a thousand dollars for one on Montblanc's higher-end pens. They've started Platinum coating brass-core pens lately (see 'Blue Hour' series) and lacquering over them with a patented process. I was dubious about it until someone handed me one and got me to look at it with a magnifying jeweler's loupe. Underneath the clear lacquer/resin was a surface that had been cut to form a pattern of minuscule pyramids, all of which reflected the light. It actually looked kind of magical to handle it. Now I want one but can't bring myself to throw that much money down on a farking rollerball pen.

I don't need it. But I know nobody else will have one. If they do we'd be buddies for life. And poorfags.
