Pros & Cons
Pros
Black lacquer with gold trim. Fine nib is almost indistinguishable from the platinum medium nib. While i haven't taken the step to using an ink bladder and bottled ink for the waterman, it is something that may be worth exploring.
It's alot heavier than the hemisphere. A beefy pen, great for my big hands. Good weight and balance.
Cap clicks securely and easily for both storage and when in use.
Cons
The bottom of the barrel and top of the cap have abrasive rough edges on them to the point where they could be sanded down a bit. The ink flows out so copiously that it soaks through all paper. The nib is very scratchy and the cap will post security w... Read More
Scratchy, scratches paper. The gift box is taped, and the tape must be removed to open the box. It is impossible to remove the tape without damaging the vanity box.

Highlights
Quality
I love the feel and smoothness of writing with this pen it’s well made and waterman ink is outstanding
Good flow smooth writing and well balanced
No manufacturer documentation instructions warranty website infonothing
I recently dropped it and the bottom cracked which broke the seal on the bottom part of the pen
Price
This waterman ink pen with a medium tip helps me integrate all my efforts into a 34home run34 at a very reasonable price
It is priced competitively and a great entry model to start a life time of fountain pen ownership
Bought this on sale when it was listed for 59
For a 100 pen amazon needs to do better than this
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was very nice and neatcame in a very luxurious box
It came beautifully packaged writes like a dream and the recipient is quite pleased
Came in a nice presentation box with extra cartridge and thats it
If youre giving it as a gift it uses tape to seal the box which left a sticky residue
Competitiveness
It does not feel cheap by any means regardless of being tenth of a price in comparison to a montblanc
The included ink cartridge contains a very nice color blue as well comparable to watermans bottled inks
I had fooled around with buying other other fountain pens on amazon that were cheaper and that’s just what i got cheaper and inferior
The price was much better than fahrneys pens
