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

Happy with the purchase. Pen writes very well in terms of nib. The pen looks and feel superior quality.

A lovely product that is a pleasure to write with.

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.

The Waterman Expert, being a little larger than the Waterman Hemisphere, is one of my all time favourite fountain pens. The special edition "L'Essence du Bleu", has a gorgeous dark navy blue laquer barrel and a brass cap, with an engraved wave pattern and Palladium plating. Like previous models, the Expert is very solid and comfortable. The Fine nib, wrote superbly, straight out of the box with no adjustments needed. The pen is 12.5cm long when uncapped. Alternatively, the cap can be posted if preferred and goes on deeply and secures with a click. The pen uses Waterman Cartridges (of which one blue one was included) and can also use a converter, although none came with the pen. This would need to be bought separately. It ships in an attractive gift box. My pen was delayed for about two weeks in being despatched but the pen itself is a joy.

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.

Quality looking pen in a nice box. It's for a gift so I can't comment in it's performance.

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.

I’ve bought many pens from a variety of pen brands in the past and their pens can be very hit and miss. Although when buying this, I had no doubts of not being exceptional quality as I have never been disappointed by the build quality of Waterman pens. This pen is just beautiful. It would make for an amazing present as it comes in a really nice presentation box or perhaps just a nice gift to yourself. This pen would be suitable for both men and women. It does feel thicker in the hand compared to most ballpoint pens but I would say it’s suitable for most hand sizes; large or small. It also has some nice weight to it, which I think adds to the luxury of this pen. The gold trim on this pen really makes it look like it’s worth a lot more than what it is. For the price, you are getting a really good pen, from a renowned brand, that can definitely compete with pens from the likes of Montblanc at a third of the price. This pen will certainly turn some eyes and get attention. It is also just a pleasure to write with. It does come with blue ink so if you prefer black you will need to buy one in addition to the pen.

Excelente bolígrafo escritura muy fluida y suave

Great pen, writes like a dream. I feel like I've been missing out my entire life and I've just been introduced to the perfect pen. You can't compare how this looks, functions or even feels to a cheap pen it's amazing!

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!!!

Der Stift sieht einfach super aus, macht was her und ich liebe das Design! Er ist relativ dick und liegt deshalb gut in der Hand. Überrascht hat mich, dass er ohne Mine geliefert wird - unbedingt mitbestellen! Die Original Waterman Mine kann ich empfehlen, damit gleitet der Tintenroller sanft über das Papier. Top!

منتج رائع ورسمي .. وسلس في الكتابة
