Waterman Expert II: B nib


Signum1

Recommended Posts

Well pen fans I recently found a deal and need a place to brag. Oh wait a minute. I'm a Canadian, we don't brag... we SHARE! :) Sharing the wealth, I believe that's what it's called these days. :) Enjoy the rest of the reading.

Good deal and nice writing! Looks like the nib mod was worth every penny. Nice to see the shading on that ink.

Thank you for an interesting review. And congrats on a great deal.

 

I think think the Expert II is a very underrated pen. I have three of them, and I have yet to pay retail for one - but I did not get as good a deal as you. I happen to have one with a factory B nib - and I like it as is. But my product on paper doesn't look as good as yours. :thumbup:

A super deal indeed! Enjoyed your thoughts on this pen as well as the handwriting.

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

What a coincidence...

I was also offered a Waterman Expert for my birthday, some weeks ago - though not so nice looking, it is greyish. But it is far from the most interesting pen I have - I did get some nice ones for my birthday, offered or bought on that pretext. I wasn't seeing myself using that waterman as is, so I am just about to order a cursive nib for it. That should bring some interest to the poor pen - I haven't inked it yet...

And after seing this, sepia seems a nice color to use with a cursive nib!

Nice! Was that an eBay find?

 

Yes, I did a bit of surfing on eBay and landed a bargain. :)

great pen and handwriting

In the days gone by, people believed that if a person touched an object, that object would form a bond with a part of their soul.

Today such a thought seems almost absurd....Until you enter the realm of Montblanc's master craftsmen.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
