Review: Good - Very good
Review: 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.
