I received my Passaporto and I really liked it. It writes very smooth and the nib does not bleed with Waterman Serenity Blue. I suffered an accident with it today, however, When unscrewing the cap without looking at it, the body remained with the cap and I unscrewed the reservoir by error. Needless to say, got a spill in my shirt. Be careful when you open it.
Is anybody applying silicone grease to the reservoir threads? I didn't (and I noticed no leaks), but I suspect that if I do it, the risk of unscrewing it by accident would be even bigger.

ElcanoI don't think it's necessary as the o-ring provides an extremely tight seal as is. So much so that I need to use a good amount of force to unscrew the nib unit from the body.
Great results here as well. Clear 0.9mm italic with Diamine Asa Blue.
