Propelling pencils
Discussion
Since there are a lot of pen lovers in here, maybe there are some pencil lovers too
I use a pencil most of the time both at home and at work, I'm the squared paper type, I currently use a 23 year old Rotring .5mm. I quite fancy a 'nice' propelling pencil and liked the look of the Porsche Design TecFlex P'3110 but they use .7mm leads which is a bit wide for me.
Any recommendations?

I just have a few of these knocking around, not really sure how they fair for drawing but pretty good for scribbling on drawings

Ah - sorry 'bout that - Have a look on http://davesmechanicalpencils.blogspot.com/ for a geek-fest, as I say, the Lamy's are good but I have a few old style Rotring pencils and they're my favourite.
Yeah I saw that blog, he's even geekier about mech pencils than I am
My Rotrings are excellent (have two of the same), but I just know they'd go missing at work. I think if I had something a bit more expensive it'd be obvious and wouldn't go walkies.
But really, I just want a really nice propelling pencil

Odie, the link is broken
The Ivanhoe looks lovely, but it only comes with 0.7mm lead capability
Staedtler Regulator looks excellent for the money. Looks like it's been discontinued though (or I can't find any for sale at least), replaced by the graphite 925 25?
don't know. I bought mine many years ago and it still works well. I love it. Staedtler makes great pencils.The Ivanhoe looks lovely, but it only comes with 0.7mm lead capability

No one must ever know I found that link quite interesting...Not a propelling pencil but I'm rather taken with this:

Saw it advertised in the in-flight mag on my way back from Zurich today.

That'll do me for the office, will try some .7mm pencils and maybe splash out on something else for home.
Cheers all!
I was browsing the Jura watches sale just now, saw this and thought of you. No idea if it's what you want but the price reduction looks good so I thought I'd mention it:
