That’s odd – my silver and my black 600/2.0 don’t have one.
Same here — no indicator.
I stand corrected. Some mechanical pencil history to track down. Since I don’t have any 600 2mm, I should not have chimed in with my best guess.
Does your 600 2mm have an eraser? The description provided by the Rotring Romania website indicates there is an eraser under the cap.
( What a good post.)
My 600/2.0 don’t have an eraser.
Ha. What if the Romania website is a jumble of confusion…
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a confusion. The use of rendered images assembled from parts carries the risk of creating combinations that do not exist in reality, and maybe we’ll see that here.
Yes. It is interesting to think that Rotring may be confusing itself on its official Romania website. The translation of the description sounds like a word scramble describing the best of the 800 2mm and the 600 0.5, or maybe just the 600 0.5:
With the 600 Range, the “red circle” team once again surprises the “technical” consumer with an exceptional premium professional product characterized by impeccable quality. Rotring integrates in this mechanical pencil the latest innovations in fine mechanics, the latest design trends, the latest ergonomics studies, as well as a state-of-the-art technology for its production. The hexagonal brass body ensures the stability of the instrument by not allowing it to rotate when placed on the work table, as well as exceptional comfort during use. The click-type advance and guide mechanism of the lead is made of brass, which allows total control and great precision when writing. A special emphasis was placed on obtaining a perfectly balanced body that offers an ideal ratio of weight and sensation during use. The ratcheting grip ensures an impeccable grip, preventing the instrument from slipping out of the hand. The mechanical pencil is provided with a mini-eraser hidden under the push button. All these advantages make the Rotring 600 a writing and sketching tool appreciated and desired at the same time by all drawing enthusiasts, be it artistic or technical.
Probably just a copy paste from the other pages?
2mm pencils with emergency erasers is a bit nonsensical, it’s like an elephant carrying a band aid…
This is true for many marketing texts
Now out of stock at CREION MECANIC ROTRING 600 2.0 / SILVER.
By the way, I’ve been using the 600 / 2,0 mm a lot in the last few days after it had been in the drawer for a long time, and I like it more and more.
I wonder whether it will ever come back: I wanted to try one. Damn, you really can’t look away, things do disappear in the blink of an eye.
If we have a member in Romania, I’d certainly be up for organizing a group purchase (assuming they come back into stock).
That would be interesting. And even if we don’t have any person in Romania, their website states that items can indeed be sent outside the Country, but first one has to contact the shop directly via email, so I suppose a group purchase may be slightly easier.
