I was bought this pen as a gift through Amazon. I had previously been a fan of one of the competitors but recently their quality has dropped through the floor. This Waterman pen has no quality problems: it is a pleasure to have to use regularly.The pen sits in a presentation box. It is finished in gloss black with gold trim and it looks like a quality item. Its design is not brash or 'in your face' but understated. It achieves, with modern styling, a certain old fashioned presence which invites one to own it and keep it as long-term personal possession.On removing it from the box the first thing to note is that the pen is comparatively heavy: not overly so but enough to persuade me on first handling that it is well and solidly constructed.

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,

I ordered this on recommendation from my boss who is a great fountain pen enthusiast.The pen comes in a good plastic box which shows the immense work put in its construction.As soon as i connected the cartridge, the pen started to work.This pen has one of the most amazing grip and it writes like you are writing with a stone on butter. The ink coming out from the medium nib is thick and continuous which gives a great writing experience. The nib has gold coating and looks really great.It was packed in a plastic bag and the plastic case was completely damaged. I had to order a replacement and it was delivered in a good shape but was again in a plastic bag.

I'll keep the pen as I paid a lot less that normal retail price, and I will enjoy writing with it from time to time.This is however not my first choice or recommendation, esp. for first fountain pen.The nib is very stiff, and works for deliberate style of writing.Works better with wet inks as this is rather dry pen.I bought mine because I really love the asthetics of this pen, but it is only ok writer, and I would choose many other pens over this to write a letter, unless I want to impress. Any recommendations from me? Chinese fountain pens (metal ones), Pilot fountain pens or this one if yoy know that you like very stiff nibs.Cap posts very nacely,

A mid-weight and fairly chunky pen that is a delight to use.It accepts both the included converter of the standard fit, but slimmed-down (others using the same fitting will fit into the nib section but not fully within the barrel) and ink cartridges. In addition to the Waterman cartridges, those by Diamine, Herbin and others will offer a far greater colour range and choice.Although the nib is gold in colour, it is steel and gold-plated rather than a gold alloy. Consequently the nib is quite stiff and relatively inflexible but a very smooth and consistent writer. Treat it with care and it will provide good service for many years. In terms of price,

I have used several pens in the sub-£100 bracket but none come close to this. The nib is quite wet and buttery smooth, with a medium line which is a tad on the broad side, but excellent nonetheless. I love the gold and brushed steel look, it is smart and sophisticated.The pen is very nicely balanced, with the centre of mass just on the cap band both when posted and closed, and exactly halfway along the pen when unposted.The grip is very comfortable for long writing sessions - I used it for about two hours straight today - and the cap posts and closes with a satisfying click.All in all a fantastic pen, looks wonderful and is very difficult to beat for the price,

A magnificent fountain pen in all accords. The ink never dries (as it happened with a fountain pen of another brand i had bought from Amazon as well), smooth as velvet on paper and that gold touch makes it an absolute beauty. I have no complaints whatsoever, only good things to say.So why only 4 stars out of 5 ?? Simply because 5 stars should be reserved for the Mont Blanc fountain pens of the higher price range. One can't give them 6 stars out of 5, so 5 should be reserved for them and them alone. That is the only reason, for me there can be no other. For its price, I am wholeheartedly, absolutely, inescapably, unequivocaly ec-bloody-static !!!! And, mind you,

Not sure what pen they were using... but like all ink pens, yes the ink will dry out if you do not use it regularly! What do they expect? This feels like a classy, easy to hold, robust ink pen that will stand the test of time. It's not one of those fancy pants pens that people use for 'show'.This is a pen that will work day in and day out. It's a work horse and built well. The black (my pen) finish is great; polished and does not slip down your fingers when you write for any length of time.I would say this is not a pen you use to show off that you use an Ink Pen. It's a pen that write well and does not make your hand ache after long term use.

A lovely pen from the Waterman family. This is a great step up for those who started on the Hemisphere collection and want to move on to the next tier in the Waterman family.The pen writes well and is constructed to the high Waterman standard. The only issues I personally have with the pen is the fact, unlike its cheaper Waterman Hemisphere range, the pen isn't made from metal and therefore is deceptively light.This isn't necessarily a fault of the pen - many may enjoy a lighter pen - but for those who prefer a bit of weight behind their writing I would say to aim for a metal variant.Writing with this pen is comfortable especially being left handed.

Decent sized chunky feel (I have large hands) and matt black with chrome finish is lush and oozes class wihout being laery.The slightly more "large" than "medium" sized nib is never scratchy, nor does it ever fail to leave its mark on paper no matter how fast you try to write or sign your name ... meaning that the only issue you might find is the amount of ink you get through.Even after owning it for a couple of years I still find myself looking for excuses to write something down on paper, just so I can use this pen (if my handwriting were anything special I would probably have written this review with it and taken a photo of it to upload :) )

This pen is harmoniously designed looks-wise and as regards the weight of it. It feels very solid, but not too heavy for writing extensive notes. After I unclogged the feed, flushing it with diluted dish soap and subsequently a bit of ink, the pen writes completely smoothly without skipping even when I write very quickly.I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, since the price is very reasonable indeed, considering the quality. The only imperfection is that it does not facilitate a nicer handwriting for me, whereas I do get this benefit from my other pen, which is a Lamy (a less expensive pen), owing to a more ergonomic grip.

I've never bought a 'good' pen before, and I deliberated on this for a long time. But I'm very glad I treated myself.It glides over the paper and writes very smoothly. It feels nice in the hand, and I find it very comfortable. I usually write with the cap left on the desk, but it works fine for me with the cap on the end of the pen too.The finish on the pen is nice, but not so fine I'm scared of using it and it's in daily use at work.The presentation box is nice but not extravagant.Overall I'm very pleased with the pen, and I find myself writing more just for the pleasure of using it.

I love this pen. It has a good weight without bring too heavy and, the best thing is that it writes smoothly, straight away every time. The ink take up from cartridges is efficient and the flow even. It writes beautifully. Additionally, if you take it on a plane it doesn't leak, an issue I've had with ink kens in the past.On top of all that, it looks great. The only drawback (not enough to reduce its star rating) was that having it in my bag with keys and other items meant the casing has ended up scratched so it needs a bit of loving to keep looking it's best.

Bought this as a replacement for the one I lost.It's on the heavy side as far as pens go, being made of metal and such, but certainly lends a comfortable weight - it feels like a "serious pen" ;-)The ink flow rate is a little more than I'd like - or maybe I'm just out of touch with fountain pens, thanks to all the cheap ballpoints I've recently been using...But the resistance is just right, and I can finally get back the old handwriting style I used to have - which was obviously adapted for this kind of Real Writers' Tool.

Writes beautifully , feels good in your hand, only problem is the occasional ink flow stop , but this is quickly resolved , for anyone looking for a nice pen, this is probably amongst the best at its price point, cross pens are cheaper and have longer warranties, but don't have the same look and feel , for that reason I would highly recommend you get this pen, a Waterman converter (best price is on Amazon too ) and some ink bottles from the Penshop (search it on Google , UK site , really cheap and amazing service for inks)
