I have thought about buying one of these for some time now, but my experience of Waterman pens lies with the 52, 515 and W5. Are the Ink Vues nice writers and worth having especially as some say they are a lot of trouble when things go wrong?

If it is a Deluxe model whith a number 7 nib, you hardly find a better writer, and a good restaurer will be able to fix anything. I think that they are as problematic as vacumatics from parker.
