This is one of the most beautiful pens I have, among a host of many high end pens. The nib is absolutely superb, and writes like silk, with a beautiful, characteristic, wet line. The fit and finish are excellent. This pen really does represent the peak of Waterman pens in the modern era. Small touches in design and construction show that the quality of this pen is there not only in the feel of the nib, but the quality of engineering in the pen construction and design. The balance of the pen is excellent, with the weight well distributed around the middle of the pen (if unposted).

I don't recommend posting the pen, and you must allow the pen to rest easily in the hand to take advantage of the slim section diameter. The nib is responsive and dynamic.
