After receiving my Rotring 600 .5mm Mechanical pencil in silver, i was hooked. Writing by hand was a whole new experience. I love the simple, industrial look of the Rotring 600 with it's hexagonal brass barrel, and knurled grip. Somehow the pencil even seemed to write better than my trusty papermate. I used it for a semester at college for note and test taking, but more on that later...
I egarly ordered up this Rotring 600 Newton from a ebay seller. I was settling for this because it was a reasonable price, but did not have the knurled grip, and it was not the silver color I really wanted. It was about $40 less expensive than the Old style 600 that I wanted. I love the way this pen looks, and feels in my hand. However, I do not like the way it feels when I write with it. It is simply to heavy for me to use comfortably for any length of time. The brass barrel that I like so much is simply to heavy. The ballance is about write with the cap unposted, but as soon as I post the cap it becomes unwieldy. I have enjoyed having this in my collection for the last few months, but it is time to move it on. I'll be posting it back up on ebay very soon.
