– Expert Fountain Pen | Gloss Black with 23k Gold Trim | Medium Nib | Gift Box

This was bought as a present for my husband who is a lover of fountain pens, and it was very well received. The presentation box is well-made and attractive, and seems like it could continue to house the pen safely if you only wanted to use it occasionally. I think my husband will be using it pretty constantly though! The pen itself is a lovely weight and the ink flows well to the nib - and did so as soon as the cartridge was fitted. It's made clear that a converter will need to be purchased separately if you prefer ink from a well. There's not much else to say really. Waterman is an established, high-quality maker of fountain pens and this is well-reflected in this particular product. I was happy to gift it, knowing that it would be a hit.

I am a great fan of Waterman and this did not disappoint. They say it glides across the paper, but nothing prepares you for just how good that feels. Such a joy to use.

This is a beautifully designed pen. When I picked it up, the first thing I noticed was the weight. Some fountain pens are light and cheap; this is not. It is perfectly weighted. Critically, when I put in a cartridge, and started writing, the ink flowed immediately - no early hesitation, which is common in fountain pens. That impressed me. The pen has a ‘wet’ flow - constant and generous, no matter the writing speed. I have other other fountain pens, including a Mont Blanc, that are best for a slow write, and be a little scratchy, but this pen kept its flow whatever my writing speed. If you’re looking for a solid and stylish fountain pen that will do justice to your writing, give this a go.

The pen is amazing. It is a bit heavy but can manage. It feels so solid and has a great look. It came with a nice gift box and also next day delivery. I was amazed. I even want to keep writing cos the pen writes so smooth and the nib is perfect. I really enjoy writing with this pen and cant have enough of it. Will recommend to all the people who are searching for a valuable pen.

This is a very nice pen at a reasonable price, it comes in a standard Waternan gift box which is similar to what you get with Parker pens regardless of how much you pay, the cheap ones the expensive ones they all come in the same box which is basically a card box with an outer sleeve the cartridge is under the pen. Comes with a blue cartridge which I would rather be black but blue seems to be the default standard free cartridge for some reason. The pen does not come with a convertor so you will have to buy that separate which is a bit of a pain especially if you are paying the RRP then you should reasonably expect to have the convertor with it. The pen is a nice design, is fairly light in the hand and writes well with a gold nib, a good point for this price of watch. The cap is a snap on type and I would say its a nice pen if reasonably priced. Further up the tree I would recommend the Visconti line which start with steel nibs but I have found very flexible and a delight to use. This one is very nice to use, doesn't come across as too top heavy and is good as a personal pen or a gift.

I had had about six of these pens over the years (different colours and a couple when I've dropped them on their nibs) and I love them! I've read the comments about poor ink flow but this is not an issue I have had - ever. Each and every time the ink is there immediately, and I often hold it in my hand for some time with the top off and no issues at all. I agree it is quite heavy but this suits me well, and I love the balance. Personally I do not put the top on the end but leave it on the table while I write. I use it for work everyday and it serves me well. It's even been through the washing machine - by accident obviously - and despite a small chip to the enamel continued without a problem, sadly not the white wash it was in! I find this a great everyday pen, not so expensive that you're afraid to use it - stick it in your pocket and off you go. I do like a nice fountain pen, and this is the one I always return to. If I had one tiny criticism it is that they have left off the tiny brass that sat on the top of the lid on this newer version but other than that I love it!

Nice quality item. Writes well and looks good.

I have a carene fountain pen, but for this one, I don’t recommend it. It has a good writing(suitable for people with small hand), but the model looks cheap, I bought carene 3 years ago, it is only 20 pound more than expert, carena is an excellent pen I recommended, but for this one, I can’t say much words to praise it, especially it come with no converter!!! I think it only worth 70 pound.

Esta pluma fuente es para una escritura fina, solo que antes hay que acostumbrar a la mano con la inclinación correcta, para que la tinta pinte de manera homogenea, ya antes tuve una igual y es el mismo efecto, al principio cuesta un poco de trabajo "domarla", pero una vez que lo haces, la escritura es suave, firme y homogenea, excelente producto!!!

Bu kalemle beraber hayatımda ilk kez dolma kalem kullanmayı deneyimleme şansım oldu. O yüzden yorumumu okusanız bile tek başına benim yorumuma bakarak karar vermeyin. Önceden araştırmıştım ve tükenmez kalemler gibi çok basınç uygulamamak gerektiğini biliyordum. Gerçekten de kalemin yazması için kağıda değmesi yetiyormuş. Ürünün kendisine gelirsek, bir hediye kutusunun içinde geliyor ve kutunun içinden bir adet kartuş çıkıyor. Ancak converter yok, onu kendiniz almak zorundasınız ve bu bir dezavantaj. Halbuki mesela Parker Sonnet, converter ile geliyor. Kalemin dış görünüşü oldukça güzel, kaliteli ürün izlenimi uyandırıyor. Buradaki resimlerde göründüğü kadar kalın değil. Kalemin kapağının yazarken kapatılması sırasında klik sesi çıkarması güzel, tam oturuyor ve yerinden çıkmıyor. Bu önemli bir avantaj. Diğer bazı dolma kalemlerde kapağın yerinden çıkabildiğini duymuştum. Onun haricinde yazımı güzel. İçinden çıkan kartuştaki mürekkebin rengi çok güzel, Serenity Blue renginde sanırım. Onun dışında çok skipping yapması bir dezavantaj, ancak bunun temizlik ile alakalı olma ihtimali var. O yüzden ilk temizlik yaptığımda düzelip düzelmediğine bakarak bu yorumu güncelleyeceğim. Güncelleme: Temizledikten sonra skipping problemi büyük oranda çözüldü. Size tavsiyem, kalemi ilk kullanımınızdan önce temizlemeniz. Nasıl yapacağınızı gösteren bir sürü YouTube kanalı ve videosu var. Sakın tükenmez kalemlerde olduğu gibi bastırmayın, bunu yaparsanız dolma kalemin ucuna zarar verebilirsiniz. Ayrıca dolma kalemler yere düşme gibi risklere karşı hassas, o yüzden iyi koruyun. Yere düşerse ve ucuna zarar gelirse kaleminizin işi biter. Kalemi 45 derece açıyla tutmaya çalışın ve bastırmayın. Ayrıca düşük kaliteli, g/m2 (gsm) değeri düşük olan kağıtlarda yazdığınız zaman bleeding ve feathering gibi sorunlarla karşılaşabilirsiniz. 80 gsm ve daha yüksek gsm değeri olan kağıtlar kullanın. Size tavsiyem Rhodia’nın defterlerinden birini alın. Onun dışında, dolma kalemlere ilk kez başlayacak arkadaşlar için bu kalem biraz pahalı gelebilir. Önce daha ucuz, entry-level denebilecek kalemlerle başlayın: Lamy Safari, Kaweco Sport, Pilot Metropolitan, Parker Jotter gibi. Çünkü eğer dolma kalemler konusunda tecrübeniz yoksa ve ilk kullandığınız dolma kalem zarar görürse kayda değer bir parayı boşa vermiş olursunuz. Eğer bu az önce önerdiğim modelleri deneyip dolma kalemleri beğenirseniz bu model (Waterman Expert), Waterman Hemisphere, Parker Sonnet gibi daha ileri kademe modelleri düşünebilirsiniz.

جيد وسلس وتصميمه جذاب

Très belle facture. Vraiment léger et très agréable à l'utilisation. Le prix était attractif (-40%) lorsque j'ai passé commande, ce qui le rendait abordable.

Very unhappy with the buy. The pen does not write well at all. Leaves big gaps. So much for the promise of smooth writing !
