Hello there,

 

I am considering buying a Waterman Edson, but find it hard to decide between the Blue-Gold and the Silver-Black version. Since I have no opportunity here to check them out, I would like to ask those esteemed members of this forum who own both pens to describe the difference in appearance and feel between the two versions of the pens.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Luis

I have two Edsons, the "silver black" (officially called the Diamond Black) and an all silver LE.

 

But I have held the blue gold in the shop. Basically there is no difference except the colour. The section is in resin in both pens, so that won't feel different.

 

The Silver LE ofcourse does feel different, more heavy, but as the barrels in the blue and in the diamond are resin there's no difference too. Perhaps the coating on the cap will feel a bit different tactile, but that won't matter when writing.

 

It is just a matter of which colour you like best and the price...

As already stated its which you prefer cosmetically. Still use my blue & gold daily. Had both the diamond black and the silver LE which I sold on here and I still rate the Edson as one of my all time favourite pens. Think I will always own some form of Edson.

The Edson is an amazing pen, in either version. I really believe you'll want both, as I do; but I can say that with the silver black, the barrel almost "glows" as the resin is very thin. This makes for a unique and elegant look. Because of its size, you might consider the the silver/black as it may seems a little more understated than the more colorful gold/blue.

Good point

 

My personal reason for not choosing the blue-gold is that it is a "loud" pen. The Diamond-black looks indeed more understated.

      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
