I hope this is a novel question. I have a couple of Rotring 400's, the pens with a plastic red ring on the barrel. From past experience, I know the problem with this: Snapping the cap on the pen eventually causes the ring to break and fall off, leaving an ugly space where the cap meets the barrel. Does anyone know of a substitute ring that would look better than a gap, itself be replaceable, and not be a glaringly obvious bad fix (doesn't have to be red). I can think of only an O-ring, but O-rings are probably too narrow and washers too thick.
