The red ring is made of shiny plastic, and unscrewing the grip reveals that the threads are that same red plastic. I'm slightly disappointed that the threads are not entirely metal, as I expect the plastic threads stripping or snapping could be the only potential reason the pen breaks. Knowing this, I would be very careful when tightening the grip. Nevertheless, the pen comes in at a hefty 25.3 grams (or 0.89 oz) and feels extremely solid. If taken care of, I'd like to think it could last a lifetime.
Due to the weight of the pen, writing for long periods can be a little uncomfortable. For regular use, the weight feels nice, but I've used it continuously for as long as three hours during an exam, and my hand got quite tired. However, I rarely use it continuously for that long, so it's not an issue I encounter often.
I purchased the rOtring mechanical pencil first and just stored it in my pocket. After a few days of use, it began to show signs of wear, with the black finish coming off to reveal the metal underneath. To keep it in good condition, I'd recommend using a case that prevents it from bumping around. Personally, I'm using the Girologio Triple case with inserts I made from gun case PU foam, and it has been working perfectly for over a year and a half with no further damage.
Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the rOtring Rapid Pro ballpoint pen. It is a well-made, elegant, and durable pen. Those with an appreciation for quality writing instruments, whom I've allowed to use it, all provided very positive feedback.

As other reviewers said the clicky part is somewhat loose and cheaply made.
Also plan on buying an ink refill as the original isn't that great. Schmidt 9000 for those who like rollerball type or medium nib. Otherwise monteverde extra fine works great if you are into precision writing.
Update 12/6/15
Today I got the Silver version of the pen. So i decided to give an update on the initial impression of it and compare the 2. The silver one has a slightly rougher knurled grip. Both pens feel nice and sturdy. Comparing the knurling of the rotrings to the usual zebra 701:
Zebra: larger knurling, somewhat softer than rotrings
black rotring rapid pro: softest of all 3 but I suspect thats because of daily use
silver rotring rapid pro: roughest of all, it fills like you are gripping fine sand paper. This is great because if you sweat, (or ladies use hand lotion) you don't strain your muscle for the pen to stay where it is. This is not a cheap plastic pen, and because of it's weight you do need to keep a good balance, this makes that job effortless.
A note on the black version. As you see in the image it will get dinged if you use it daily, just be cautious of that.

Now to the mechanics. It is a gorgeous instrument, very well balanced. The weight is correct and fits perfectly in my hand, as well as my spouse's hand.
I bought the black barrel, and the grip feels rough and soft at the same time.
The only issue I have is it came with black ink which is easily replaced, so I'm not docking any stars for that. It has the nice feel that you can write a novella.
I would recommend this well made instrument.
I did not received anything for my honest opinion and it is mine, and mine only.

Accepte les recharge parker G2 donc un grand choix de recharge (Jetstream sxr-600). Le poid donne une impression de robustesse mais n'est pas trop lourd non plus. Selon le prix, préférez le rotring 600 mais s'il est moins cher le rapid pro est un excellent stylo.
Finally, I bough a second rotring rapid pro ball point after this one and modified the fist one to get a full brass pen like many gearnuts post on Instagram. I sanded the body and the clip, then I heat anodized the clip to a dark grey and polished the red ring. See picture for the mod. I want to warn people who want to do this mod: the clip is not brass, it look like steel coated with copper. If you sand it well it will be chrome grey.
