Hi all,
Glad to see there are other Waterman fans out there. When I first found this forum, I figured I must be alone. Here's a partial collection. I have others but they are pens, and pencils and will soon be hitting the auction block. These are my fountain pen keepers.

1. Phileas This is the pen that started all this craziness for me. My company presented this to me at an awards dinner and I wanted to learn more about it (you know...what's it worth?). From that point, I was lost. I've since added a green marbled, blue marbled and a black to my collection.

2. Expert

3. Maesto

4. 52 1/2 V (still needs bladder )

5. Liaison (I like this one, but really want to find a Cobra)

6. Exception Night & Day

7. Expert Racing Edition I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me about this one. I bought it because I had never seen one (hoping it was rare) but as yet, have not been able to learn the first thing about it. It has a serial number on the front bumper of 7509 so I guess it's not as rare as I had hoped. Still a really cool presentation box!

Only one Waterman fp at this time, a black Laureat in m nib.

I love it so much that I bought the rest of the set: rb, bp and pencil.

I like thin pens (so far) so this Laureat feels great in the hand. I tend to stick my pens in my agenda/planner loops, so thin is also practical.
I may get another Laureat in fp nib, IF I can still find Laureats. If not, then I'll have to start researching other Waterman models.

Is it crazy to want to collect all the other colors in the same model? Of course, there are other great models out there, I kind of have an eye for the Hemisphere, if it's thin enough.

I've been using this pen daily for a couple of years now, it's my constant companion...

I do love my vintage Waterman pens:

- Lady Patricia, 'Onyx' Semi-Flex #2 nib.
- Lady Patricia, 'Moss Agate' Manifold Account nib.
- 452 1/2 V Sterling Overlay, #2 nib.

However, the only modern Waterman I have is the Audace... I have about 11 of them, ballpoints and fountain pens. Not many other modern Waterman's appeal to me, although I do like the look of the smaller 'Lady' pens from the 80's and 90's.

Hmmm,

I guess I'm working up my collection of 94's - I have 3 so far:

Moss Agate
Mahogany
Blue and Cream (?) - forget the official name

I defintely keep eyeing the Ink Vues as well, particularly Copper Ray....

Phileas (M)

Edson (F)

All of these pens are very smooth and have never given a bit of trouble. In short, I love them one and all.

Hello,

I thought this might be a nice first post to the board. Many of you have some very nice pens. I got interested in pens about 12 years ago and used to attend a few shows. I have since tapered off my collecting, but here are a few of my Waterman Le Man series.

I expect to have two more to add to the collection courtesy of Mr. Lewertowski....

Enjoy

My favorite: a 54 with an XF X-flex. And a LeMan 200.

And now: a #52 BCHR with very nice chasing and super crisp imprints/ medium semi flex nib.

More coming: will describe when it arrives!

Just today received two from two separate eBay auctions: a clipless lever-fill 52 with a Canadian Ideal nib, and a pretty pearly blue 503 made in England.

I only have one fountain pen.
I had a black Apostrophe (with medium nib I think), but I lost it, after using it many years.
Yesterday I bought my first fountain pen (the other one was a gift). It's a Hémisphère in metallic blue, with a Fine nib.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=7] Hello this is my first post on the Fountain Pen Network so please excuse any font or size issues....

Anyway I own just one Waterman which is the Edson in silver. Sold as the limitecx edition here in England.

It has a medium nib as standard but bought an oblique nib via e-bay.com which I do like for signature use.

The story of how I settled for this pen is for another post but suffice to say it was a long and expensive search.

I am at present trying to locate a supplier of Noodlers inks in the uk but think I may have to buy from the USA.

Good to be amongest like minded people....

Regards to all.
