I was drooling over Russell Stutler's collection of the Legendary Pilot Murex and particularly fond of the 1973 black striped MYU. Amazing technology ahead of its time, launched in the same year I was born in 1971. My budget only allowed me to get the 90th anniversary limited 9000pcs edition. It was launched last year but Pilot Hong Kong didn't carry this pen until recently, so here it is.
You can learn a lot more from Pilot's M90 site and The Fountain Pen Network in addition to Russell's site, so I'm not repeating anything here. I just love the minimalist design of the original and its pocket size when the cap is closed.

"Montblanc-Monte Rosa" fountain pen was given to me as a gift. I
took the above macro picture by using a magnifier + digital IXUS and
the result seems fine enough to show the details. It also has a
nice blue transparent ring in the middle of the pen showing how much is
left in the ink reserve.
The pen is now sold aournd US$125 - US$399
depending on condition on ebay. Today I just filled it up with
Aurora's black ink and made some sketches. Although Aurora's
black is not as black as Noodler's, a few more pen strokes or slower
storkes will just do the trick for me. Inspired by Leonardo's
work, I was just sketching an anatomy of a human machine hybrid.
