Review: The Finest Pen I Have Ever Owned - This Waterman Expert Fountain Pen is the single finest pen I have ever had the privilege of owning. It flows smoothly and evenly, and never has any false starts. The pen is just the right thickness for my large hands, making for a very comfortable and easy writing experience. The black lacquer and 23k gold trim & nib are vibrant and gorgeous to look at, and its craftsmanship is top of the line. When writing, the ink drys rather quickly on paper (I use Waterman ink exclusively). Furthermore, even if I have not written with this pen in a few weeks or a month, I can open it up and begin writing with zero issues starting or flowing. It has become my only writing tool, as nothing else can suffice. The strokes are clean and crisp, and - even as a left-handed writing - glide across the paper. In short, this pen is phenomenal and will make for a wonderful lifelong writing companion. 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. ## Features - Only the discreet golden gleam of its trim competes with the deep black of its lacquer.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Finest Pen I Have Ever Owned *by D***C on April 5, 2026* This Waterman Expert Fountain Pen is the single finest pen I have ever had the privilege of owning.

So I'm not able to compare it to other higher priced devices. But I've loved fountain pens for years and made extensive use of lesser ones. Until a few years ago I had a nice Waterman fountain pen that I bought at an art supply store for $35 (in 1998). The Expert is slightly slimmer, but heavier than that one. Took me a minute to get used to the weight but now it seems natural. I've had the pen a month now and am impressed with how smoothly it writes. I bought a converter also (not included) and some ink, and even with frequent usage I'm still using the same ink from the first time filling it. It does not dry out quickly like my previous pens apparently did. The worst was when I went a whole week without using it, but after dipping the tip in a capful of clean water it wrote perfectly. Usually it starts writing right away with no problems. Previously I've had medium point nibs while this is a fine, so it's hard to compare the writing. The Expert seems a little more scratchy than my cheaper one was, but far less temperamental in terms of writing angles and workable stroke directions. Also it wrote without skipping right from the start and didn't need any kind of wearing in period. (Unlike previous pens I've had). It does occasionally skip still if I get it turned at the wrong angle, but it's far more forgiving of that than I ever would have expected. Overall I have no serious regrets. Wish it cost less but that's so for almost everything. It doesn't come in the marbled blue and black color that my previous pen had, else I would have got that instead. I got the black with gold trim, which looks elegant and professional. I would prefer something more unique, but it does look very good. No complaints. Highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Waterman Expert Fountain Pen, Gloss Black with 23k Gold Trim, Medium Nib, Luxury Pen in Gift Box, Fountain Pen for Writing - Waterman Deluxe Fountain Pen Ink Piston Converter - Waterman Fountain Pen Ink, Intense Black, 50ml Bottle, For Refillable Fountain Pens --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1406655-expert-fountain-pen-gloss-black-with-23k-gold-trim-medium](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1406655-expert-fountain-pen-gloss-black-with-23k-gold-trim-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
