Review: Waterman Expert Black Fine Nib: Classic Waterman Quality - I've had it only a few weeks, and already this beautiful pen has joined the Waterman Carene on my desk as a beloved favorite that I reach for often. It's my fifth Waterman fountain pen, and it has everything I love about the others, namely the super smooth and lusciously wet nib. It may be a fine nib, but it definitely doesn't write like most fine nibs. The ink flow is generous without being a gusher, and always ready to go even if I don't write with it a few days. Never any hard starts or skips. No nib creep, either. Like their inks, the mid- and higher-end Waterman pens like this one are always well-behaved in their writing. The pen is on the hefty side, but never uncomfortable or heavy to the touch, although people used to lighter pens like, say, a TWSBI Eco may find it tiring at first. After a while, though, you don't notice the weight. Posted or not, it's always perfectly balanced in the hand, which helps more than anything with reducing hand fatigue. Because it has such classic, classy looks, this is the kind of pen you can proudly give someone for a promotion or graduation, and it can last a lifetime despite everyday usage, as long as you maintain it properly. This is the brand I recommend most often for people who don't know fountain pens well. I have never had a bad Waterman experience. I'm sure it's possible to have one, no company doesn't put out some boo-boos, but I have yet to get one from Waterman. As long as that continues, I will continue to assure everyone that the chances of a great writing experience with a Waterman is higher than with most companies, and you don't have to break the bank for it, either. Sure, this pen can be on the pricey side compared to some pens, but compared to other luxury brands? Watermans are downright bargains in comparison to several brands that don't necessarily write any better.
Review: Another great Waterman writer but really Plain Jane. - Best pen for the money. no skips, moderately smooth, minimal feedback on junk pad paper. My wife HATES fountain pens because she says they are a PITA, but she tried this one and said, now if they all wrote like this, I would get one. I asked her if she wanted it and said no because it was to basic and plain looking. I agree. Good daily driver, not anything special to look at. I love my Waterman Carene L’Essence du Bleu pen, but it's more than 3X so... I have yet to get a bad Waterman, unlike my equal love of Visconti pens, but that is like buying/playing Russian roulette or buying Forrest Gump chocolates.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the cap snap on tight and secure? The cap for the pen I have now (Waterman Phileas) doesn't snap on tightly and has come off while in my pocket. I've ruined 2 shirts this way.**
A: I also have this pen and have the same problem. The cap has become loose and has come off and ruined some of my shirts as well. Don't know if Waterman would do anything about it as they may say it is normal wear but mine has not had that much use and has had excellent care. Love writing with it, just afraid to carry it in a shirt pocket.

**Q: I want to purchase this Pen, however want to know what all things I need to purchase to refill this , is it only ink bottle or something else?**
A: Here's the deal, boiled down:  People vary in what they want.  You can make this simple or more complicated.  It us up to you.  Some find it simpler to buy cartridges, perhaps in several ink colors; others like to buy a bottle or two of ink and use the supplied converter.  I like the converter, myself.  I rarely buy cartridges, or only buy one box of blue-black ink cartridges for travel.  In the long run, bottled ink is cheaper, and offers far more selections.

Over time you may come to acquire a few bottles of ink, perhaps a black, blue-black, and blue.  Waterman makes nice inks, by the way, sold at very good prices.  The brown is surprisingly nice for correspondence, even in business.  Diamine is another sure bet with a very wide selection of inks to pick from.  

You can make this as simple or complicated as YOU wish. If you travel frequently, cartridges are very convenient to have.  No need to worry then about refills!  A lot depends on whether you are a fountain pen hobbyist, or just a fountain pen user.  The former doesn't see numerous bottles of ink, pipettes, etc. as complications.  The latter, wants to streamline.  

You will read a lot here posted by hobbyists, so beware -you sound more like a get-down-to-business user.  Keep it simple.  Buy the pen and a bottle of ink, and use the supplied converter.  Or, buy several boxes of cartridges.  Those are the real choices.

**Q: someone said it comes with converter ,but some said no . What is the truth?**
A: The Expert does not come with a converter; however, unlike some other Waterman models, most standard international converters will fit in this pen.

**Q: Does this come with a converter?**
A: It did not come with a converter.  I like the cartridges.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An overlooked and wonderful fountain pen.
*by C***A on August 22, 2017*

Of my entire fountain pen collection (Pilot VP, Metro, Kaweco Sport, Monteverde Vesuvio, Lamy Safari, TWSBI Eco, Platinum 3776), this hands down is my favorite pen, except for possibly the 3776. Beginning with the look of the pen, it is a great balance of classy and restrained. In particular, the use of gold accents and the shape of the clip just look good. The 24ct gold plate is a noticeable shade different from my other 14ct gold pens, it looks better. The cap snaps off, which is just more convenient than threads, and it posts with an interesting attention to detail and design. The gold accent ring near the top of the pen serves to hold the cap on, and the tolerances are such that the pen cap does not friction fit against the body of the pen, yet is held firmly in place when posted. When posted, the cap free to rotate slightly around the ring- It is hard to describe, but this attention to detail give a nice feel that the pen is of quality. Furthermore, unlike some snap pens (looking at you Metropolitan), the step down from the body to the grip section is quite small and this greatly helps with comfort. The grip section of the pen is plastic, however is not readily apparent against the lacquered brass body and cap (note that because the pen is brass, it can not be made into an eyedropper). The real magic of this pen; however, is the nib. For a steel nib, and even compared with many solid gold nibs, it is nothing short of fantastic. When I first opened the pen, I inserted the included cartridge and wrote with it as soon as I could reassemble. The pen did not miss a beat and has not since in months of use. Not one hard start, or skip (except the most minor of hard starts if the cap is left off for a few minutes). The nib writes with a very unique tactile feel, not at all a roughness, but a sort of pencil like feedback that helps my brain recognize what my hand just did. It makes writing much more effortless than with a glassy smooth nib like the vanishing point, in my experience, and it is unique even to the 3776 which is often described similarily. The nib is rather stiff, so variation is minimal, but this is perfect for a EDC pen imo. The nib writes on the wetter side, but not overly so. Finely unlike most fountain pens, there is no breather hole apparent on the top of the nib (looks like it may be relocated underneath and at the base), and as such there is less nib creep. Therefore, this pen works well with thinner more penetrating inks such as Noodlers' Warden and Bernanke series while still being great with iroshizuku and diamine inks. My only complaint with the pen is that while it allows for a converter, it is not included and the Waterman converter does not fit tightly into the grip. This is nothing more than a personal annoyance and hardly worth mentioning.
