Rotring 600 questions

[shootist16]

I found an old style, knurled grip, Rotring 600 and ordered one. I have a few questions though. The one I ordered is ballpoint. Will rollerball refills fit in it? Any aftermarket refills available? What would you recommend?

I look forward to getting this pen. Especially since it is supposed to make a fine tactical instrument as well.

Mine came with a Parker refill in it. I really like writing with it as the knurled area really is easy to grasp and use.

These pens are real sleepers. I got a bunch off of EBAY at really competitive prices from sellers in West Germany and Austria.

All I can suggest, is don't look at the new Rotrings. After using the West German "old" style, I was really disappointed at the poor quality now that an American company has taken over

Pilot G2 refills fit the rollerball models. Parker ballpoint refills fit the ballpoint models. Parker also has a gel ink version now of their ballpoint that writes very smoothly.

I have a bunch of Rotrings-they are the only thing that I have not found a way to break!

I hope that you enjoy your pen as much as I enjoy mine.

I´ve seen lots of Parker compatible ballpoint refills, the ones from Inoxcrom seem quite good, if you want to try a pressurized refill, the ones from Fisher space pen have an adapter to fit Parker.
