I just took delivery on a Waterman Hemisphere. It is a bit

slimmer than I like, but it is a good pocket pen. Most of

my pens are vintage fountain pens. Since caps may be flawed,

I don't post that cap, as a matter of habit. However, my

Hemisphere, with cap posted, is a very well-balanced writer.

 

I am enjoying it.

I was just looking for a place to rave about the BB gold plated steel nib for the Pelikan M200. That pen came with an M (also gold plated steel) and it didn't see much use because I just didn't like the nib. I ordered the BB from Binder and got it in two days, and though not an expensive nib still it was checked out before it was sent. Amazing service!

 

The thing writes like a dream now - ice cubes on teflon - and it actually changed the apparent color of the ink I had in the pen (Private Reserve Blue Suede). Darker, more saturated, and more obvious shading, all by virtue of simply laying down ample ink.

 

So the pen went from being an occasional user to one that'll be prominent in the rotation. Cool!!

I recently got one in a small order from Mymaido.com (no affiliation). I don't know if they ship to where you are, but it's worth checking out.

They have most colors and catridges available, but they seem to be the first generation Petit1s (I think the most recent generation [which is sold out everywhere, apparently] have solid colored bodies and finer nibs). In any case, they're cheap and fun and I had no problems with my order: it shipped fast, everything was as expected or better and the package was nicely wrapped and even included a hand-written post card.

I hope that helps. Good luck with your search!
