Rolex pen refill

Good evening all.

Does anybody know what refill this Rolex pen uses?

Thank you in advance.

Rolex pen refill

I can’t say with certainty, but it appears to be a generic G2 type 'Parker' style ballpoint refill. Lots of refills at office supply stores and online.

See if the dimensions match these.
Length: 98mm
Diameter: 6mm

If not, there are generic Montblanc refills that should fit too.

Should be a Parker style refill which is very common. You could always take the refill to your local office supply and compare just to be sure you’re getting the the right size.

Rolex pen refill

I have this pen and I use it every day.

I use black broad and it’s perfect
It’s made by Caran D’ache from Switzerland
The refill number is CD8428.109

This is the ink that comes with the pen from the factory, not a replacement that just happens to fit.

Here is the Amazon listing:

Caran D'ache Goliath Ballpoint Pen Refill Broad Black https://a.co/d/8V752lZ

What is the nicest Rolex brand pen that they have? I see a lot of different kinds on ebay but I'm not sure which is best. I like the Caran D'ache metal pens (non Rolex brand) because they will not roll off of your desk. I want a Rolex Pen.

Well can assure Rolex dont make pens they are made by a third party, and normally given away free by ADs after a sale, just take the refill out and take to any stationary type shop to match it..

I think you’re right about the refill size but that link to Amazon is not…

I was hoping to find a genuine Rolex refill. I'd worry about ruining the value of the pen writing with something else. It would likely cause a hit on resale.

Don't just let any old office supplies store open it - the only people who can work on these are specially trained RSC staff

Can you write praising other brands like Omega, Zenith with Rolex pen/refill ? Is it acceptable or discouraged? Does that impact its value?

Did it start writing slow?, If it's outside the +2/-2 words per day and still under warranty? I would send it to RSC.

Does the current one say Rolex on it? I bet not, but if it does, take it out, use another one, then replace it when you go to sell it.

Just call DavidSW or another grey market dealer and buy a refil at 2-3x the price of an authorized stationary dealer.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate all the input and some had me literally lol.

The pen belongs to a friend of mine who got it from an AD after he bought his first Rolex (126610ln).

Here are two pens that received after purchasing mine.
