Waterman Sérénité

Nice pix, and a beautiful pen. But worth $900? I don't get it. It should be solid gold for that price.

Sure it is $900 in the stores, but you can get it new for less than $400 in the internet.

Is that right? I haven't seen that. Where? I've been searching on eBay to see what they go for--about $800.

Under $400. New grey models are more.

i just saw one here in manila being sold brand-new in the stationery shop for about $415. i'm mighty tempted... just might go and pick it up tomorrow, as an early christmas present to myself (and christmas has twelve days, right?)

Resistance is futile.

Darn, darn, darn! everytime I see another picture of this pen I get closer to wanting one myself. I wonder how many more steps until I finally cave in and buy one

Looking at your pics of the pen I need to check mine out as I don't remember the metal bar on the blind end of the body going all the way to the end- I was wondering if the clip was going to damage the surface as it seems to slide on mine??? Wonder if I have a real one or did they change the pen??

Hummm... :hmm1: I've been researching in the net for a while and you're right. There're plenty of Serenites with the metal bar not going all the way to the end and, in a much lesser proportion, being like mine. So yours I guess is authentic and mine... I think so, too. Sounds to me that maybe it's a recent change (probably to avoid scratching). That would explain why most pics in the net are like yours. Or maybe it's what I want to believe :roflmho:

Well I can see that the clip on mine has scratched the surface so I hate to do it but maybe an email to Waterman to figure out if I can get an exchange to the more robust type of bar.

I know I'm late in all this, but, since I'm new to fountain pens altogether, where in the world can I get the black pen for half the price of what it's going for on the 'Bay?!

Also, since I haven't used a Waterman before, what would be best nib size if I like something between a Lamy XF and Pilot F?

Cheers in advance!
