Rottling Mechanical Pencil Pearl White 600 2158795 0.5mm rOtring Mechanical Pencil Fine Writing Stationery German Drafting Pen Professional Ballpoint Pen

It does what it advertises, it's a mechanical pencil. I prefer 0.5 mm lead over 0.7, but that wasn't the deciding factor for me buying this. I had heard plenty of positive things about RoTring pencils before, so I went ahead ad bought one. The pencil feels very premium and hefty, and the grip is fairly soft for being made of metal. It is great for writing and is very sturdy. It does not come with any extra lead refills, but you can buy good quality lead for fairly cheap, especially if you get it in bulk. I would recommend this to someone looking for a premium mechanical pencil if I could find any.

Love the weight of this pencil. The color is so cute and it’s very durable!

The first rOtring 600 came out in 1989. It was actually a successor to a Koh-i-noor mechanical pencil of the same design, with just some minor differences. From there, this new bold hexagonal brass bodied & stainless steel tip mechanical pencil would serve as a benchmark for the competition. Offered in silver and black colors only, it remained unchanged for many years. Only some minor internal differences were implemented, not affecting user experience at all. In time, a Japanese firm would obtain licensing to produce this pencil, as well as a few other models. And in typical Japanese style, the quality remained high.There are too many reviews out there already so I'll avoid being repetitive. This is a very nice pencil for the price. It is a bit on the heavy side, where some might be bothered by it. But if it was a serious problem, this model would've gone extinct long ago. The only real caveat is the vulnerability of the lead pipe (sleeve) at the tip. While it's made of sturdy steel, the mass of the pencil can create added momentum when dropped, and if the tip hits first, there's a good chance it'll bend. Sometimes it can be recovered with a little careful bending back into center... but half the time this doesn't work satisfactorily. Replacement tips can be purchased, but unfortunately rOtring charges enough that you'd need only fork over a few more dollars for an entirely new pencil. If you are careful with your pencils, this won't be a problem. But if you're known to drop them periodically... you'd want to take extra care not to drop the 600. Find yourself a disposable BiC ballpoint pen and steal the cap--it'll actually fit the 600 pretty well and serve as an excellent tip protector.Getting beyond the tip vulnerability, the boring dual choices of silver and black have finally been cracked. There's MANY colors available now. So far there appears to be white, yellow, cadmium yellow, gold, rose gold, green, blue, and red. PLUS, rOtring made ballpoint companions for each color. Yeah, if you're a collector, this can get pretty expensive. The cadmium yellow was a very limited release, so now opportunists are price gouging at 4 times the original price. The white is limited as well, but not as steeply, so you can still find them. Periodically the blue, red, and green ones go on nice sales.

It should have been obvious from the price, but I didn't research enough - this is not the identical looking rotating tip pencil that drops the tip back into the body - it's exactly the same pencil minus that feature. That said - an incredible sturdy, well designed, weighty and excellent pencil, but just make sure it's the one you are looking for.

I used Rotring in the college for technical drawings. This one is very comfortable to hold and extra weight makes it easy to control the line weights. Nice metal construction with great quality and nice color. The value for the money is great. Same one sells a lot higher elsewhere.

I still don't know if it's worth the money, but I definitely love to write with it. It's a little heavy, but I find that the weight makes it feel very high quality, and my hand doesn't really get tired unless I write with it for several hours. I especially love how the finish on the metal feels. It's so smooth, with just the perfect amount of texture.I don't feel the need to buy any more, but I'm happy with the one I have, and it can make notetaking just a little bit more enjoyable. I am a fountain pen lover, so I'm definitely a fan of nice writing instruments, and I think this would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys writing by hand.

I recently purchased a Rotring Mechanical Pencil Rose Gold 600, and I have to say I'm so impressed! The gorgeous color is absolutely stunning and the craftsmanship is top-notch. It feels really durable and I'm confident it's going to last me a long time. I'm so glad I made this purchase, it's been a great addition to my collection. Highly recommend!

Every nerd loves these.
