How many Watermans do you own?

[RMN]

A few too many.

 

That can be remedied quite easily....

I only have two green marbled Phileases.

Plus one as of last night. Just picked up a new-to-me Expert to match my very favorite ballpoint.

[praxim]

I answered 1-3 because I have one pen, so that part is right, plus one ball plus one pencil, which makes three Watermans. When I buy a new Waterman, which I shall, then my quandary whether to answer 1-3 or 4-6 will be terrible.

 

How does one adjust answers in a poll anyway, as one adjusts one's pen count?

Currently 112 and it still feels like I dont have enough.

So YOU'RE the one driving up prices because you have the market cornered on them!

3, w/2 more on the way--one matched pen/pencil set. Sterling silver with the filigree overlay. 3 pens are 452 1/2 V (one of the ones on the way). One is a no-name Waterman"clone", so I tend to lump it in with the real Watermans, as it looks and acts like one. Don't know the brand or model because there is no marking on the pen at all to give a clue of the real manufacturer, but that pen is my absolute favorite to write with. It's full length, has no clip, is an eyedropper fill, and has an absolutely fantastic flexible 18k gold nib. The last one is a pencil, and I don't have a clue what model it is, but it has the same sterling silver filigree overlay as the fountain pen.

I guess adjusting 112 by some likely random number is unlikely to take you below 11+. Life is so easy for some, to fill in polls. :sigh:

Nope, I purchased my pens many years ago and am looking to liquidate now. Some true specimens will come to light within the next year.

Five. One Phileas from year 2000. One Phileas from 2014, as they were being discontinued. A skinny stainless steel thing. A Kultur. In the 1980's, I gave a black Hemisphere to my mother-in-law.

She used it frequently until 2012, when it came back to me. She didn't need it anymore.

Hmm eek, I believe I have over 30 or even more 50 plus waterman vintage starting range from early 1900s to all the way up to modern, but discontinue models of hmm year 2002-2003

Only 1. A Stalwart, from what I was told here, made in Canada. Wonderfully soft 14kt nib.

[praxim]

I have neglected to clarify that I am up to four Waterman pens, by age the Ideal 0552, Man 100 Opera, Expert II, Exception.

[Cryptos]

About 1/2 of a complete one.

[praxim]

About 1/2 of a complete one.

 

My reading of your other thread is that you have two to be merged into one.

 

2 x 0.5 = 1

 

I plan to start a thread vaguely related to yours in which I talk about my own 52 adventure. I need to take some photographs (and find greater time) first.

 

I hope your repair is going well. I have been following it.

[Cryptos]

It all went downhill really. Nothing left but a pile of disconnected parts. Thus ends the Waterman Experiment*

 

*you'd think I'd have learned my lesson by now that all the eBay sellers see me coming from miles away.

Just one - technically its mine as I have paid for it - currently in transit from the Uk - its a Waterman Cerene Deluxe Black/Gold

 

Very interested in purchasing the Exception - any recommendations for that pen

I have one and have just put it away for a little, having finished its ink contents. It will return.

 

Mine is a fine point. It writes very smoothly, a pleasure to use. Do try one first though. The squarish section shape is a little unnatural if you commonly use 'normal' pens, although not an impediment to writing. The other thing is weight. Empty but capped it comes in at 57g !

I write unposted which eases the weight and the barrel alone is easily long enough to sit nicely so I find the writing experience fine.

 

Mine is the black model (not the thin version) with gold trim, not the full night and day gold sides so a bit more discreet. It still attracted attention at a recent occasion where I was signing documents though.

 

I bought it to supersede an Expert II and am happy with the weight, style, and most of all the writing experience especially considering this was my first F nib pen.

One pen that does not roll unaided.

[Cryptos]

None Flirted with the idea, nearly had a whole one too! Wrong marque for me. Too expensive.
