How can we tell whether it is an old model or a new model??? By color? Does anyone know the "old colors"

and "new colors"?

thanks,

Kay

I think you can tell by looking into the barrel, if there is a brass bit there then a converter will not fit. This is just hearsay however, as both of the Ici et la's I bought for my girlfriend recently take long cartridges (or a converter). I think you are pretty safe if you buy a new one these days, and at about 30 euros, why would you buy a used one.

 

Best regards,

 

Jarno.

Hi,

 

You can only tell by looking into the barrel.

 

The CT and GT are just finishes, and the colors are just colors. The trim lines and colors are similar for both first and second versions.

 

The second edition had some new colors like Turquoise CT, Crystal CT, and Crystal GT.

Nice pen i think this pen , Expert II , Allure uses the same steel nib.Smooth across the page and stiff like nail.Good buy indeed

I'm fairly new to this (as I keep saying) I just know I love fountain pens. My favourite to write with is my ici, however I have had some problems with it recently, for which I am endervouring to find a repairer (see waterman forum). I would be interested to know what other forum users would advise me to try, given my preference for the ici. My husband is looking to buy me something nice'', possibly vintage but that is not written in stone. I have used Schaeffer and Parker of all price ranges but have never found anything as smooth as the Ici. What would you all suggest? Ghost plane has suggested a Carene which I do fancy but it is similar to the Ici I think. Anyway open to ideas :hmm1:

i know, this post is about Waterman, but... i think you should try a Pelikan, even if it's a small M150 or m200. they're nice!

 

i only own one Waterman and it is the Phileas... also a smooth writer!!

Hi,

 

The M300 series may be small for you, but I loved mine (size wise, but the color bothered me a bit--well you know)

I also liked some of the Waterman V like the 3V or 52V 1/2 for vintage pens. Oh, and I just remembered, I have a Dinkie in the Marketplace (look at my signature). I liked it--just didn't use it enough.

Hello. I know this is an old thread, but i was wondering if someone can confirm that the ici et la uses the same nib as the expert(and if it is that smooth).
