My small Waterman collection consists of two fountain pens:

Martin

[Peter Strempel]

One only.

 

Expert II in matt chrome finish with black accents and gold trim, medium-sized steel (?) nib.

I have a Hemisphere Deluxe w/med nib, and a standard Hemisphere w/fine nib.

I also have a Man 100 (marbled red) that needs a new nib and cap.

If those are the ones, the nib have certainly have been changed, those pens didn't come with pink nibs, but with classics (but very flexible) number "4" nibs.

May I ask why you are not a fan of the Hemisphere? I only ask because I have recently been contemplating getting on given the good reviews elsewhere, so any particular reason you're not a fan? Are there other models you would recommend?

 

1 hemisphere and tbh I hate it, just not me at all I have both a m and f nib for it and neither suit me. Just need to find it a new home.

I have one Waterman Phileas pen. It is the second one I have owned. The first Phileas simply would not wright, so I swore off Waterman pens for a long time. The one I have now writes great--as long as I flush it out, which I have learned to do with all my pens.

 

cute side story- the dr. that got me started using Waterman pens is now using ball points--why, she got tired of dropping them nib down on the floor! now I am very careful.

 

I just ordered a vintage Waterman 52 1/2V pen. My first vintage pen. It is hard rubber with a ring top The nib is med flex---I wish I had gotten super flex. I use dip pens a lot so I think I could use the super flex. It seems as if these pens are like potato chips, you can't stop with just one!!!

Hi Everyone,

Just ordered my Hemisphere today after using Sheaffer Prelude for 2 years.Wanted to know if anyone can direct me to a site or a store they know (anywhere in the world) which sell genuine leather (black) waterman pouch/case.All google search directed me was to ebay and i didn't like any of them (specially the crocodile format ).

Many Thanks in advance.

Regards.

I just bought my first Waterman pen, an Exception Ideal Black from my recent vacation in Hong Kong. See trip report at https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/247553-my-recent-trip-to-hong-kong/ if you are interested . Anyway, I must say that the pen writes very well out of the box. The nib is stiff but in a good way, and the pen heft just makes me want to continue writing. My first Waterman but definitely not my last.

I have following Waterman pens:

 

1 Exception N&D Gold trim (First thing I got with my very first salary. WOOT! ^ ^

1 Charleston Ivory White (College graduation gift from my dad. The sole cause of myself getting into Fountain pens, especially Watermans).

1 Carene Deluxe Prussian Blue

 

On the way: 1 Charleston Blue

 

All my pens are F. I rotate my pens at work and although I love broad nibs, I find myself having difficulty neatly writing mathematical equations, Korean, or Chinese characters with M fonts or broader. On the meanwhile, EF just makes the pen feel too lifeless (at least for me).

 

I Love them all.

I have a sterling silver L'Etalon with a fine nib and a first-generation Laureat with a medium nib. Both are in regular use and both write beautifully.

[misslucy107]

I currently own two Carenes, a glossy red one with an F nib and a copper brown one with an M nib. Love them!

[sargetalon]

I own one expert and one carene. The expert has never been to my liking but was my first fountain pen. The carene is beautiful.

[Craig9802]

I own a Hemisphere in a red marbled finish, with a very nice M nib. It was my second fountain pen, and the only one I still have from the 90's when I started collecting pens. The clip is stretched a bit, and there are a couple of nicks and chips, but I still love writing with it on occasion.

I know I have a Le Man 100, but the other pen I recently found I can't identify. Please see my new forum post and help me out if possible!

Thanks

I have one - a Matt Black Hemisphere with a medium nib.

 

This was bought in "error" - I thought it had a fine nib! Except for Italic and specialist nibs I really don't like nibs above a fine.

 

However, although it only cost me £10 including P&P, it turned out to be an amazing writer . I filled it with Waterman's Serenity Blue and wrote a test line .... excellent. This is one medium nib I will definitely be using for a long time.

[Lorna Reed]

Today I was gifted this Waterman by a friend and colleague. Is it a Laureat? The only other Waterman pens I have are Phileas, so I'm no expert. It's in nice condition except for a long scratch down the length of the barrel. I don't have a converter for it, but I can always syringe-fill the empty cartridge that came with it.

Gifted pens are always special to me, as they are a reminder of the giver.

Update - Thanks to a run of ridiculous low bids on eBay I now have 5 Watermans! It only seems 5 minutes since I was impressed by a medium nibbed Hemisphere .....

 

The quintet consists 3 Hemisphere with medium nibs - a matt black, a shiny black, and a stainless steel - - and 2 Kultures (? I think - one was listed as a Phileas and the other as a 'no-name' but, on looking around it seems they are both Kultures) - a blue demo and a lime yellow demo - both with fine nibs.

 

I have set up one of the Kultures as an eye dropper for testing; an enormous quantity of ink is held and, so far, so good.

Another Waterman on the Wall...
This is my new Waterman fountain pen that the postman brought me. It is the LAUREAT BLUE MARBLED model. I don't know its year, but it is in very good condition, no scratchs, and the nib is in excellent condition.

I won this pen in a ebay auction, just paid U$S 40.02
This is a good deal??? What do you mean? I mean YES, is cheap for this waterman!!!
Minutes later, after unwrapping, I have placed a waterman ink cartridge, and started writing on seconds!!!
I attach some images that will explain much more my new acquisition...
