Waterman Expert Fountain Pen | Stainless Steel with 23k Gold Trim | Fine Nib | Gift Box

It is a lovely pen, nice to hold & work with. The ink flow is good so writing is a pleasure.

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.

My husband writes a daily diary and wanted a silver-coloured fountain pen for Christmas. I spent literally HOURS researching types, manufacturers, nibs etc. In the end I settled on Waterman and was impressed by the lovely presentation box which gives it a premium feel. Now that he's been using it for a few weeks I can finally write a review. He tells me that the finish is ideal because it is not too shiny and is therefore easier to hold without having to exert excessive grip. The ink flows steadily without blotching, with only an occasional tiny delay on the upward stroke. I think this is partly his writing style and way he holds the pen, which is impossible to change after 60 years! However, it is so minor that he is overall very happy with it. Note that it comes with only 1 cartridge so you'll need to buy these.

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!

How good a pen is or is not is such a subjective topic that I am sure that at least as many will disagree with me as agree but here goes...This is an excellent product for the price. It is not the heaviest, nor is it the lightest of pens. In terms of size, its diameter appears to me to sit between those of a Parker Sonnet and a Montblanc Meisterstuck, so it is by no means the slimmest of pens. As you would expect for a pen in this price range it is not made of the finest of materials but the quality is at least as good as it would be reasonable to expect, and it appears to me that it is likely to prove durable. Most importantly, though, this pen is a joy to write with.The pen sits well in my (long-ish) hand and is by far the nicest of my fountain pens with which to write. It is better in that respect than all of my other fountain pens, several of which were much more expensive, being from Waterman's direct competitors as well as luxury brands.

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, and with the added bonus of a 3 year warranty from Waterman!

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.

I love this pen, I use it for majority of writting.

Ce stylo plume correspond exactement à ce que j'espérais. Indépendamment de son aspect esthétique que je trouve magnifique il est d'une qualité de fabrication sans le moindre défaut et permet un confort d'écriture absolue. La plume me convient totalement que ce soit pour sa glisse ou la fluidité de l'arrivée d'encre.Par rapport au modèle Hémisphère que je possède l'Expert se situe un cran au dessus : la prise en main me convient davantage grâce au diamètre supérieur du corps.L'Hemisphére était déjà très bon mais l'Expert lui est supérieur.Tout est donc parfait.

Der Füller is für diesen Preis sehr gut verarbeitet, liegt bestens in meiner Hand, und schreibt ohne Kratzen mit gleichmässigen Tintenfluss. Eine leichte Druckerhöhung resultiert in einem etwas fetteren Schriftbild. Nachdem ich viele Füller von Parker, MontBlanc, Pelikan usw. getestet habe, habe ich 8n dem Waterman Expert III meinen Füllfederhalter gefunden.

Firstly I will thank and appreciate Mr. Anil Sehgal the seller for his professionalism and transperancy. First I had ordered Waterman expert with black body and gold trims. Mr. Anil called me and informed that it is not available and if I wish to continue he will send me the same pen with chrome body and gold trims which he shared the pics over whatsapp and he also mentioned that it is customizable. I was very delighted when I received this pen....Its really fabulous and light in hand and the fine nib wow....buttery smooth. Thanks alot.
