I know its not watch related but I was bidding on ebay for an MB Ballpoint last night and missed out by a couple of pounds. I was willing to drop £150 on it.
Today I saw a client (insurance Broker) who was using a MB Pen. I had a close look at it and he was showing me all the lovely features. It was perfectly finished and very well weighted for writing. After me extolling all the virtues of the Marque he then told me he paid £10 for it from a market stall in Honk Kong!!!
It was so well finished that Im unwilling now to pay for the real thing, also the couple on Ebay that I saw looked pretty much the same and were advertised as no box or papers... Now, if I had bought a gen MB I would make sure I kept all the boxes and paperwork (wouldn't you??). So I have huge suspicions now about those pens.
Then I thought perhaps someone here knows were I may get a replica one?? Pretty please???!!! :0)
