Update #7:
Went to the store and they don’t have any updates regarding the repair, all they know is that the part is still not available.
In other news, I got a similar pen (with a different coating) and a new bottle of ink, as mentioned here.
Update #8:
It’s been delayed for another 2 weeks.
That is all.
Update #9:
At long last, after 16 weeks, I received a message stating that the pen has been repaired and is ready to be collected. I’ll most likely go to the store tomorrow after work.
Now I’m tempted to buy the platinum-plated variant to have a complete set 
Update #10:
Okay, well, I got the pen and have been cleaning it for the past half hour and I just realized that the grip section is cracked… 
Now I gotta take it back to the store and get that replaced 'cause any ink I put in it will just leak on my fingers when I write.
Time to wait another 16 months I guess 
They didn’t notice that while they were working on it in the first place?
I’m choosing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt 'cause it was a hairline crack which was barely noticeable, especially under the lights in the store.
The repair was just a parts replacement; the first one was replacing the barrel (I doubt they did anything else). Now they need to replace the section.
Haven’t posted any of my purchases on here in a while, it seems..
Anyhow, New Ink Day!
Bought two bottles of ink from Montblanc, the Burgundy Red a few weeks ago, and the Midnight Blue today.
I’ve been looking for the latter for at least two years now and finally found it. The last bottle at the store!
Of course, I couldn’t help but be a doofus and forgot to to buy the Royal Blue ink from Montblanc as well, but I guess I’ll just have to go back again..
Funny timing. One of my coworkers mentioned buying a fountain pen and I was reminded of this thread.
More of us! Huzzah!
