Product Description
Former salesman Lewis Edson Waterman wanted to make a more reliable fountain pen—he founded his namesake company in 1884 after losing a big sale with client because of a pen that leaked. More than 130 years later, Waterman continues to make dependable writing instruments with inventive features and French-inspired elegance Read More

This is the smallest Massdrop discount that I can remember. "Don't pay $205, buy this today for only $199."

I bought one of these from amazon recently (marine amber, fine nib), and ended up returning it. I like a glassy smooth nib (think Diplomat Aero and Lamy 2000), and this didn’t fit the bill. As another commenter noted, I love my Expert (steel medium) a lot more. Also, this pen is quite small—smaller than I expected.

Priced lower on EndlessPens- $145.80 and I think they still offer free shipping over $145, could be wrong though. I've never seen the Marine Amber in person, is it better or worse than the images??

That's true....what do you think for color? I feel like its hard to find OB nibs so may have to get this

PenChick87That's what stops me from jumping in on this - gloss black is not my friend. I end up spending all of my time trying to keep it clean and polished instead of enjoying the pen.

ChuongyIf you need to ask you probably don't need one. Oblique means that it's cut in an angle usually down to the left if you look from a writing position to the nib. It is prefered for right handed people who tend to rotate the nib towards them or anticlockwise. If you never tried one don't take the risk on such a nice and pretty pen on which you can't exchange nibs.

jctsoaresInterestingly, I’m a lefty side-writer who likes a left-footed oblique. That’s because I hold the pen with the nib parallel to the rules on the paper, and tend to rotate the pen forward as I write.

ale.xLOL! Yep, 2.4% ! I purchased a Waterman Carene Black Sea FP from Amazon for $122.71 just last year.

I have an Expert I love, and I purchased a Carene a long while back. I think it was from Waterman via Amazon.
When I got the pen and attempted to uncap it, the bottom portion pulled completely off the pen. As I remember, there was a metal sheath over the converter that was still in the cap. There seem to be quality issues with the construction of the pen itself if you search online reviews.
I returned it and stuck happily with my Expert. It was the first pen I bought to use every day and it's not let me down so far. Great pen.

I'm not sure how a price that's nearly 20% greater than what this pen is available for elsewhere (as I type this) constitutes a deal worthy of a drop. Nice pen, for sure, but I have absolutely zero incentive to take part in this drop at this price point, especially after reading the comments downstream regarding the same issue the last time around.

Can anyone provide a writing sample of the stub broad or the fine oblique? Many thanks!
