Yes, the caps top plate. Some have it some don't.

YES!!! You've found it! Keen eye for detail my friend! I'd like the W logo instead of the gold circle on top. The waterman.com & amazon.com websites have the W logo pens and most Indian websites including amazon.in have the gold circle on top. A review I read said that the gold circle came off :"(

Yes I will. Very nice lips by the way. Thank you Fergus. I only noticed something just now. The date next to Fergus. Was Fergus your cat? I've been calling you that all the time! :"O Sorry about that. Cheers man!

Oh My! Those are gorgeous! Beautiful collection. Don't sell them off now. You can never have enough Carenes! Are both Fps? One M one F nib? Is that the Expert 1? Drooling....

Lucky you to get a good pen from Amazon UK at a good price! Are you from the UK? I don't think amazon UK would do me any good. The shipping to India might cost me a bit. What's a Sterling post BREXIT? Thanks to your input! Cheers!

Pete :")

I live in Australia and the postage is about 10 Pounds. "Sterling" is is the UK Pound. I use the term because my computer does not have the Pound sign. As for BREXIT......I will let Uncle GOOGLE help you with that :)

Good decision Force! I support it. All that black looks really classy! I see you prefer M nib on your Carenes! Are your letters really big? The Expert in the image is a roller ball? With the cap on, one can't really tell! I thought they stopped production on the Expert II Fps. Then how are you getting a new one?! Glad to meet a Carene collector. Always admired that model from Waterman! Cheers!

Hi Force,

 

Could you please post a new photograph with just two pens from your black collection? The black lacquer Expert II and the Carene. I'd like to take a look at these. Thanks!

The light is not good now. The FP is due Monday so I will use it together with a brand spanking new unused Carene Black Sea gloss.

It is. I bought a few Carenes of Amazon when on offer.

Did you get them from Amazon.com? Did you get a good deal?

Amazon.co.uk. The pens come from anywhere in Europe. Last ones were Swiss.

Is there a difference in build quality?

      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
