Waterman Expert Fountain Pen is very nice product. I took a risk in getting this pen via an Amazon Warehouse deal for the low price of $67.75. If I had bought the pen new here on Amazon, it would have cost about $85. And wow, the risk paid off well! The box had some very minor damage, but the pen is in wonderful shape and is perfect. It is a shiny black pen with chrome accents, which I greatly prefer over gold. I find gold to be tacky almost always.\

? Since this pen comes with an ink cartridge but not a converter, I also purchased a Waterman converter when I bought the pen. I don’t care for cartridges and prefer to buy bottles of ink because there’s way more color and brand selection in bottles. Advice to fountain pen newbies: always read the product description and some of the associated questions regarding the products here on Amazon. I see that many are upset that the pen comes with no converter. Read before you buy, people! I own several Lamy Safaris, a Waterman Laureat from the 1990s, a few Chinese pens (Jinhao, Baoer, and Kaigelu), a Waterman Kultur, a TWSBI Eco, and a Pilot Metropolitan. My small fountain pen collection is growing, and I’d say that this Waterman Expert is hands down my best pen

. It has a very smooth medium nib, and writes very well. It’s not terribly heavy at 1.17 ounces (measured on my scale), but it has a nice heft to it, which I like. I can write with it posted or unposted with no problems. The pen has a very satisfying and clear snap of the cap when posted or closed. I can easily see this pen as my favorite daily writer. I love a good medium nib, and this Expert pleases me to no end. I love it! I have it inked now with Pelikan Royal Blue ink, and it writes wonderfully. I highly recommend this pen!
