Waterman Carene question

[Waltz For Zizi]

Does anyone have any ideea if the clip on this pen is repairable if by some unfortunate event the mechanism that keeps the clip tight breaks and the clip becomes loose but doesn't fall off? The fountain pen obviously has an internal plastic liner so I can't see inside, but even on the ballpoint where I can see the insides there is no way that i can see, like a screw, to take the clip apart, like it is the case with the bottom finial of the pen which has a screw.

So sorry Waltz, I have not had that issue so I've no idea how to proceed except to say "very carefully".  Good Luck!

I think Waterman still does repairs, or has replacement parts. Try emailing them.

A few years ago another member did a project of re lacquering a Carene and detailed it quite well with detailed photos of the pen and cap disassembled.

 

This might help as one of the steps was a clip replacement.

Thanks a lot. This helps. Unfortunately unless I get a new clip there is no way to fix it. One of the "wings" of the clip that sits inside the cap and "huggs" the spring is broken. That was the problem. At least it solved my dilemma.
