So, I purchased a 149 directly from Montblanc back in June. My first Montblanc! Five months later it started leaking ink where the nib assembly mates to the grip.
In the intervening five months I had purchased a Montblanc 146 from a local retailer who is an authorized dealer. I mentioned my problem with the 149 on a visit to this retailer and they offered to send the 149 in for repair for me. I took them up on this offer. I gave the retailer the pen and a copy of my receipt.
Got a call last week saying its going to be $130 to fix my pen. WTF? I would think whatever is causing it to leak ink would be covered under warranty. Montblanc outsources repair to MJR and everyone is pointing fingers at someone else. Very frustrating experience.
