Expert 11, matte black with "silver" furniture, medium nib---present from Hubby in our silver wedding anniversary year

Expert 11, glossy black with gold furniture, medium nib---bought because I liked my first one so much

Kultur, clear, fine nib---not yet seen as bought for Christmas and hidden by my youngest son

The Gentleman is by far the best of the batch, and the Phileas the lower level.

1 Expert II
1 Laureat
2 Phileas

I just bought my first Waterman, a Phileas demonstrator and I like it quite a bit. It's quite light, has a pleasing shape, and its fine nib is a fairly smooth writer. The barrel is a transparent orange color and it's also my first demonstrator. It's a cool pen and was a very good deal (via Montgomery Stationery via eBay). For now, this has become my favorite "knockaround" pen.

I already listed mine in the how many do you own thread. A couple Phileas fps, a couple Phileas rbs, and a Carene rb.

However, that is not the extent of Waterman pens in our household. My son also has three Waterman fountain pens: a red and a blue Phileas, and a teal CF.

currently:
- 2 Hemispheres (silver and matt black, both with gold and F nibs)
- 1 Expert II (matt black, F nib)

going to buy:
- Carene (F nib, classic black)
- Harmonie (F nib - for my lady:)

Well I have had for awhile:

Blue Hemisphere
Blue Phileas
Purple Phileas (early first series Phileas)
Green Phileas
Green Phileas Roller Ball

and now:

BCHR 52 with rigid nib.

Lets see, I'm going to try and make my brain remember exactly what I have. Not being a Waterman collector in particular (although I do like them) I have a select few that are in my collection.
Waterman Ripples: 94 blue green set, 94 blue green 9ct band, 7 purple 9ct band, 7 blue, 94 olive pencil, large olive desk set, 55 ripple set.
Waterman Overlays/Filigrees: 452 gothic pattern, 455 filigree, 412 rhr.
Waterman post ripple pens: emblem doctors set, skywriter desk set.

4 Phileases - one of each color - 1 fine nib, 3 medium
1 Charleston - Ivory - fine nib
1 Carene [Islands Lagon] - fine nib

1 matt black expertII M

Just started in comparison to some here

Modern:

Crystal Blue Kultur M
Greyish Blue patterned Harmonie M

Vintage:

52, Ideal 14k fine flex

I got a total of 5 Watermans:

3 Phileas Black - Fine Points

1 Phileas Red Marble - Medium Point

1 Phileas Black - Medium Point

I only have one Waterman. A 452 1/2V filigree.

I've got five-- in order of appearance in my life, starting at the right:

-The Graduation Gift. No idea what the model is, got it in 1991, and the threads parted from the section last October. I haven't given up hope of rebuilding, but I want my gluing skills honed some before the attempt;

-The Christmas Gift. A Phileas, medium nib, my wife got me because I was cranking about the first one so much;

-Commando (?) with a pencil, made in Canada, and with an amazingly flexible nib;

-W2 (probably), also Canadian.

-Hemisphere.



I might also have a Graduate, but that thread caused upset, so we'll leave it out of the family photo.

I have the following Watermans:

Phileas (2)
Expert II FP and RB
Charleston RB
L'Etalon
Liaison
Carene

I just ordered my 5th Carene.

Buncha ---
Phileas (old version...)
Carenes (more than I should)
Kulturs (Phils without the fancies...)

I pro'ly have some other models, but I don't remember....

Phileas. My first "good" fountain pen, I've had three identical ones. I lost the first one, then dropped the second one right on the nib "ouch!". The last one I've had for some years and have not lost or dropped. Love it.

My collection contains two Watermans, both of which I will not part with willingly: a Waterman L'Etalon in basketweave sterling silver and 18kt nib in medium, and a Waterman Edson Diamond Black with 18kt nib in medium. Both pens are stunners, and they write perfectly.

Two Watermans - both Exclusives purchased for me as gifts in the early 1990s. Marbleized Green Laquer over brass with gold trim - (one is a rollerball). Nice balance, thin but heavy. Great writers!

Exception in a medium

The orange harley davidson pieces (the ones that came in the gas tank shaped box) both FP (F) and the RB.

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

Phileas, soon to be Binderized cursive italic

Le Man 200 FP

Le Man 100 FP

Expert BP

Expert Pencil

Hemisphere (sp?) FP

Expert FP (recently bought on line, being shipped)

Roller Ball ( no sure what model, bought on line for a mere pentance, being shipped)

Lauret (sp?) FP

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.

Ken

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

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:

First year:



Second year:



Third year:



Fourth year:



Fifth year:


Sixth year:


More anon.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

I finally got a Waterman or 2 or...
