What Waterman pens do you own?

[Elton10]

A red ripple No.7 from 1928 with a steno(very fine) nib and a very unusual red ripple desk pen that is both a pen and pencil and can be converted to a pocket pen(the horn of the stand is actually a cap that fits into a recess in the stand) I have two others from the same era but need to look to see what models they are before I list them( at the library online right now)

 

Also a second No.7 and a 57

I just got an old Sky Writer at a trift store. I just dipped it and it writes smooth. Cool pen. I have not filled it with ink. I think the blatter might need replacing. ?!#$%&??? What to do?

 

 

:blink:

A strange skinny Waterman with a gold medium nib and a funky corrugated finger rest.

I have a green skinny Waterman as above but I don't know what it's called. Any ideas? I've just bought a Waterman Carene, marine amber, but I'm not allowed to use it until my birthday.

 

Might be a Laureat. i have two: a blue marbled and a green marbled (both bought on FPN). They have a ridged finger rest, and a black band in the middle and at the bottom. I think there were a couple of variations.

I have a couple of wonderful Watermans

2 BCHR 52 1/2V also equiped with a super flexy nib.

3. Taprite

 

Great pens!

Only one, my first valuable FP (self-made present for my university degree in '87), and my only daily writer for 6 years.

Should look for something vintage...

A Hemisphere and an Expert II. Both are very nice pens, but I'm only using the latter as the first is a little too thin and short to suit my huge strangler's hands. (I'm a bit annoyed at this, as the metallic burgundy finish on the Hemisphere looks a lot better than the matt black finish on the Expert II. I'm also astonished at how fat a line the medium nib on the Expert lays: I'd have sworn this was a bold, looking at it.)

I rather fancy getting a few more.

[sasdrtx]

Just two, an Expert II and a Phileas. The Expert I got off Ebay for $5.00. :roflmho: The seller did not know what it was! Came with box.

Ha... maybe that's an issue with Experts. I have only one Waterman, a black Expert II. I found it at an Office Depot that had put it on their clearance shelf. The price wasn't marked, but the clearance shelf had a sign that said everything was at least 50% off; so I figured it would be a good deal. When the clerk rang it up, the price was $0.01! I actually asked the clerk to double-check that price, but she said that's what it was in the system, and there was nothing she could do. OK, fine, said I. 99.99% off is "at least 50%"...

 

I wasn't even shopping for a fountain pen at the time.

[Rainwalker]

One Waterman Phileas, blue marbled finish with M nib. Came in a kit with 5 cartridges, 1 converter, 1 cleaning cloth, 2 blotters, and one bottle of black Waterman ink. Purchased at OfficeMax.

 

An amazing, silky-smooth writer!

[Reid]

Phileas - black medium

Kultur - blue fine

Carene - Royal blue - medium (one of my favorite pens!).

I inherited my mom's pen/pencil set that she received from her father in the 40's.

Hi,

 

Never really thought much about Watermans, have had a Black Charleston (with CT) for a couple of years which is a great writer, a Blue Kultur 'demo' and a vintage L/F (no idea what model) and a slightly battered 100 Year pencil in Red always fancied a Carene but couldn't bring myself to part with £100 or so for one (sorry for that sort of money I can buy another Pelikan).

 

Anyway picked up a Carene very cheaply on ebay and it writes as well as people say, can't say I will rush out and buy lots more, but maybe if a couple more come up cheaply I might be tempted.

My mum donated me my first waterman, and I still haven't identified it.

 

Since then (last year, I've bought a Carene deluxe prussian blue and an exception slim reg - oh jesus it really opened my eyes. What a fantastic writer I've got. Not sure if it was luck tha I got such a good one....so a week ago I bought another in black mmuuhaaahaa! I can't stop.

Next on the hit list is a Van Gogh Maxi tortoise - en route from the states, but I do really love the square section of the Exception because it forces you to hld the pen in a VERY consistent fashion and this seems to allow the nib to customise to our exact positioning over time with a great degree of reliability. When compared to writing with my lovely Carene - there is just no comparison.

 

[enricof]

Only one, my first expensive pen ever...

• Man 100

Looking for some nice vintage.

[Strang]

Unfortunately, only one. But it's a Waterman Carene Royal Violet with a 0.5 binderized cursive italic nib. And do I ever love it

 

I need more Watermen?
