How many Watermans do you own?

[Arasazi]

Snatched up a Hemisphere from the internet for just €7,50, so that one can be added to the list.

 

And we have another winner, finally bought a Carene! It should arrive today..

Only one so far but I love it. It's a Waterman Phileas. I would love to find a (F) nib for

it though. I find the (M) very wide unless I want to write fast, then it's great.

Hi,

 

Currently I have one, an Ici et La Turquoise CT with a fine nib. For the record, I used to have a Waterman 52 1/2 V, two Waterman 3V pens, a Waterman Phileas, an Audace, and another Ici et La.

 

There were really only two Waterman pens that I really liked design-wise. Those were the Audace and the Ici et La. I was quite unhappy to see that Waterman discontinued both of these pens. Now, about the other pens, The Waterman lever fillers were sold to some nice people. I gave my sister my Waterman Phileas–She liked the looks, I didn't. The Audace was sold some time ago, and my other Ici et La was given to a friend of mine.

 

Now, for the record, this is my current Ici et La:

Now, for the record, so everyone knows that the Ici et La second generation does take a converter: Well, I think I'll have to refill it soon

~Half a Torsade, Three quarters of a CF , much of a 513, two graduates and one and a bit Concords. I hate seventies plastics. The Cf was immaculate and disintegrated having been back in ink for less then a day. The Torsade had a very big split in the section and my other Concorde has the usual crack aft of the nib. I'm going to try Methacrylate on that but I'll need yet another section for the CF and I don't think it is worth the bother. Too mean for a Carene!

Currently I have three Waterman fountainpens:

- hemisphere stainless steel, m-nib

- lady agatha blue brown wavy lines, m-nib

- carene brown / amber laquer, f-nib

the latest is my very reliable companion for almost 14 years now! :clap1: and it still is in rotation.

Just awaiting delivery of another Edson :embarrassed_smile: A diamond black one which was advertised on here a week ago.......same nib as in my blue/gold one, oblique fine, but you never know when you could lose one. I know pathetic excuse isnt it

[escribo]

Only five -- two Kultur, one Phileas blue with a F nib robbed from one of the Kulturs, one 52 BCHR, and one 52 1/2 V red ripple.

 

I need a 452 with a fine wet noodle real bad!

[esteroids]

I have about 50 split clips, most models. I'm hunting for Le Man, Liason, Concorde and Maestro

I have no idea what got me started on modern Watermans. I do like lacquer and slim pens.

[Xof72000]

41... I've been recounted them this morning.

The lastest is a 1970's Concorde.

[keswickmouse]

I have 5.

 

1 Preface (Green, Fine)

1 Exclusive (Orange Marble, Fine)

1 Le Lady (Burgandy, EF)

1 Gentleman (Black, Fine)

1 52v (Red Ripple, Medium flex)

Sadly, only one though I do hope to purchase more in the near future. Only a Hemispere so far; it has proved itself and become my everyday writer (M nib)

[esteroids]

I have bunches of modern steel nibs, mostly school types. Not so many gold nibs, also modern. Almost everything is split clip.

I tend to be hard on my pens and will subject them to rough duty. Split clip Watermans have proven to be durable, and keep writing in conditions that cause others to dry out, write dry, or throw and burp ink. Watermans are great heavy-use, out of the office pens.

I like to buy lacquered pens that already have a few scars so I don't feel badly about adding more.

Starting collecting Waterman in the year 2000, I had more than 450 pens in 2006, reducing to some more than 200 pens now.

Most FP with 18k nibs, no vintage pens.

Kind regards,

Volker

[Xof72000]

Nice collection Volker !

I can't put a name on your Man 100 black model with a silver section ...

That's not a regular Man 100. It was given to me by a friend. Maybe the silver body has been damaged and he did change it with the cheaper black barrel ? Don't know but it's looking fine, isn't it ?

Cheers,

Volker

[CryptoDave]

Just one, The Edson. It was a gift.

Just one, and I realized some time ago that it is my grail pen: The waterman man 100. Not only looks amazing (especially the solid gold version), but the fine nib has been the best nib I've owned. I've sold off the rest of my pens since I got it with the exception of a relatively inexpensive pen I keep for casual meetings.
