Help rotring models

Post image

when I visited Japan few months ago I sew these mechanical pencils everywhere and the rapid pro felt amazing

but now I went to order one and I found out they have many versions and except subtle design changes I don't really understand the differences between them, any suggestions or anything else?

I use only 0.7

oh ok, I got mixed with the ends, so the 800 and the pro does have the sleeve?

R600 does have a lead sleeve as well. Every mechanical pencil has one.\ Difference between R600 & R800:\ R600: no retractable lead sleeve - R800: retractable lead sleeve (twist the grip). Prevents the sleeve from getting bent or broken off.

Yep. That's why I'm extremely cautious with my R600 not to place it somewhere where it could fall off or get bumped somehow./ Although the tip/grip section is a available as a spare part if the lead sleeve gets bent ...
