Broken Carene Nib Grip Section

[ecarag]

Hi,

 

First time poster and I am in need of help and experience. Unfortunately my Waterman Carene Fountain Pen has suffered the same fate as Balenemate's pen. His link is here from June 13.

I've added pictures below:

The crack is around the entire circumference of the Pen grip. I believe that the Fountain Pen lid itself is defective and must have some how damaged the pen

 

Anyone with experience of this problem?

 

Will Waterman replace the entire pen under warrant? Rather than attempt a repair?

 

Thanks

Hi Crowley74. Have the same problem with my Carene. Kept the pen in my drawer for some time (never really used it, just dipped to test), checked on the pen just few days ago and found this crack around the section. I've messaged Waterman the other day but still haven't got any reply. Did you bring yours to a Waterman store or did you have the pen sent to them? Also want to ask how they were able to fix it. Thanks. :-)

Very old topic but Waterman will not repair such damage. They will offer an expensive replacement.

 

PS, the point of break is precisely where the cap touches the section so I suspect a drop or entrapment of parts thus it will break at that point.

I just removed the cartridge from my Carene, only to find that the piece of the feed that seals around the neck of the cartridge has broken!!!

 

The encircled part has broken and I'm sure I'll be able to fix it if I can remove it:

 

 

I need to open the section in order to carry out a repair and have only been able to disassemble it to this point:

 

 

How do I go about disassembling it further, as it appears to need a special tool?
