What Waterman pens do you own?

[jbn10161]

1 Gentleman, c. 1989. The stock med. round 18kt nib is very flexible but a little on the dry side.

 

1 Expert, c. 1999. The stock med. round steel nib is actually one of the smoothest, best shaped nibs I have. It's a little stiff, but the line is wonderfully expressive because of the shape of the point, and the flow is near perfect.

One Royal Violet Carene and one purple Kultur (nope, no theme there )

1 Le Man 100 FP

1 Le Man 100 MP (someone stole my Le Man 100 BP that was part of the FP, BP, MP set)

1 Blue Gentleman Felt Tip, wish I had gotten a set, b/c i think this is a great series, with the solid brass construction making the weight of the pen nice for me

Down to five:

 

0952 1/2 V BCHR

 

52 1/2V HR Frankenpen

 

#3 Gray Black Pearl w/ red flecks

 

Kultur, fluorescent yellow

[Clancy]

1 Exclusive, brown marble lacquer, medium nib

 

1 Phileas, blue, medium nib.

 

They're both great pens but I'm definitely partial to the Exclusive even though it's a bit on the slender side.

Not really a "collector," don't speak fluid Waterman, no pre-WWII models, just like the pens. My first was a bp in 1961, + or -, that everyone in the office wanted to borrow. Now:

 

Carene DeLuxe fp, black M

Carene DeLuxe rb, Prussian Blue

(2) Expert fp, black/gold trim, M (one brand new)

Expert rb/ft, black/gold trim

Executive fp, black/gold trim, M

Preface fp, silverplate/gold trim, M

 

I use them all.

2 a green marbled phileas and a blue marbled exclusive, both really smooth writers

[RayMan]

Expert II (Marbled Blue, fine nib)

Kultur (Translucent Blue, medium nib)

Kultur (Glittered Purple, fine nib)

Kultur (Soft purple, fine nib)

Kultur (Marbled Green, fine nib)

Kultur (Glittered Purple, Rollerball)

 

By a long shot, the Expert II is my favorite pen of any kind or make.

I have the Waterman Exclusive silver plated fp, bp and pencil. I love the styling. I also have one Waterman Centurion which in my opinion is a very cheaply made pen. I also have nine other Exclusives 2 fp's and 7 bp pens. I like all of the pens but am disappointed in the other pencil I have.

I have several distinct groups of Watermans. For now, here are my Hundred Year Pens, not necessarily in scale with each other:

I own 4 Watermans.

 

1 x hemisphere ballpen, nice shimmering green.

1 x of the most basic ballpens in the range, I forget its name. nice metallic blue

1 carene fountain pen in lagoon colour

1 a carene ballpen in matching lagoon colour.

 

The Carenes have become my pens of choice everyday, eclipsing the other pens in my huge collection. Now thats saying something. The laque colours are great and they write beautifully, especially the carene Fountain pen.

 

Anyone else love the Carenes as much?

 

[Bubbly]

2 Laureat fountain pens - one old style, one new. The Laureat is a wonderful pen - great value for the money!

 

1 Laureat rollerball. 1 Laureat ball.

 

2 Expert II ballpoints (one black, one marbled green).

 

1 gold propelling pencil - don't know the model.

 

2 Phileas ballpoints, 1 Phileas roller.

 

I think that's it...they are all good. Of the ball pens, the Waterman refill is one of the best, and very long lasting, like Parker.

 

Roller refill - ehhh - a mixed bag. Smooth while it lasts, but a kind of short life.

[Ghost Plane]

You need a Carene. If you love the others, trust me, you need a Carene.

[PAKMAN]

Sold two and bought one.

 

Sold my biggest and smallest:

I got rid of my Sapphire Blue Edson that I loved to look at and own but never carried or wrote with.

I also sold a little 52 1/2V Red Ripple with a flex nib that was just too small for me to use.

 

Picked up a sweet Waterman #7 Red Ripple, with red band and Red Keyhole Nib. The nib is fine and vintage style flexible.

I've got six waterman's three of them modern. What I'm really curious about (haven't found a google search on it anyway) is a chased black rubber pen with "18" over "PSF" on the base (or top) of the barrel, nib with Waterman Ideal New York "8" on it, sits 6 inches closed, barrel imprint "PAT'D 1884' "MAY 23, 1899", next line "WATERMAN'S", the IDEAL SYMBOL, "FOUNTAIN-"

next line "PEN.NY.U.S.A." "AUG.4.1903" . This is a monster when posted. I was wondering if it was a display pen or if people actually bought and used it.

 

Thanks for any advice.

[pingjun]

Currently, I only own 1 waterman Phileas FP, Fine Nib.

 

I like it so much that I hope I can get another Phileas next month

[AllWriteNow]

I finally got a Waterman or 2 or...
