Once agian Waterman has impressed me with the feel, ink flow and smoothness of one of their pens. The wonderful weight behind this pen and build quality are a amazing value for the money.

##Pen## 1) I bought the black&gold style with a F nib. The pen writes very smooth. The balance of weight gives a very pleasant writing experience. The unique design makes it a must in my pen collection. It is even better than I expect from the pen review videos. 2) After a few days writing, no ink leakage or any messy. I fully inked the pen by the default converter.##Quality## The batch I got was made in 20250106. The mini booklet includes instruction and warranty, which agree with all the unboxing YouTube videos I browsed. The nib head and pen tail is well aligned. In case that it is not, you can search tutorials to make it aligned which is very easy to do.##Purchasing Experience## 1) I gave a 4-stars because I at first received a used pen for many obvious reasons. For example, it contained massive blue ink. It was very likely it was once fully inked. A factory dipping test expectedly contains some ink but definitely not this big amount. 2) The warrant paperwork was also strange because it is simply a multi-folded paper instead of a mini booklet. So I asked for a refund. I suggest you also make unboxing video as I did. Now the second purchase gives me a good one. 3) Pay attention to the seller. Mine was directly sold by Amazon although the invoice said the pen was supplied by “Others”. A direct sell from Amazon is good as it ensures a satisfying refund/replacement. A purchase from specific sellers and Amazon International would give some risks based on the refund policy. 4) Buying a “Used” pen that is labeled and sold by Amazon Resale is also suggested because the price is drastically reduced (40% to 50% off) while the condition is expected to be good. Based on my experience and observation, I believe Amazon Resale’s description is honest and Amazon does not resell the returned items with the original price. 5) Early 2025 is a good timing to buy either the black silver or gold F-nib because the silver version has recently changed to the green “In Stock” since Jan 2025, and the gold version is restocking since Feb 2025 (although slowly). They have high chances to be new pens to be supplied to Amazon which ultimately go to buyers. In contrast, something like “2 left” (from either Amazon or some independent sellers) would be a red flag to me.

Adquirí esta pluma fuente con grandes expectativas, pensando que sería una herramienta ideal para mis escritos. Sin embargo, mi experiencia ha sido completamente desastrosa.Desde el primer uso, me di cuenta de que la tinta no tiene la fluidez necesaria para escribir de manera cómoda. Es frustrante tener que presionar con fuerza sobre el papel solo para que la tinta aparezca a cuentagotas. La escritura se vuelve un verdadero ejercicio de paciencia, y lo que debería ser una experiencia placentera se convierte en una verdadera tarea.Además, el diseño de la pluma, que en teoría es elegante, resulta ser incómodo y poco ergonómico. Después de unos minutos de uso, mis dedos empiezan a sentir molestias, y eso no debería suceder con un producto diseñado para la escritura.En resumen, esta pluma fuente ha sido una inversión totalmente innecesaria. No solo no cumple su función básica de permitir una escritura fluida, sino que también es incómoda de usar. Una verdadera pérdida de dinero que dudo haya valido la pena. No la recomendaría a nadie que busque una pluma fiable y funcional.

It is beautiful. Solid lacquer, nice gold trim, nib placement is unique for nowadays. Grease from hand is visible on it, so you end up wiping it a lot. Writing with it is a joy, smooth and wet. High capacity cartridges last surprisingly long. One criticism is that the cap collar can come off. When that happens you will feel pain, so I returned one and am babying it's replacement.Do not take to school and certainly never give to heathens with no understanding of fountain pens.

Sehr eleganter Füller, Einer für's Leben. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis nach ein paar Monaten mit vielen Schreibaussetzern und "kratzender" Feder: einfach den vorderen Bereich mal eine Weile mit warmem Wasser durchspülen, dann sind die Aussetzer weg und der Füller hat ein wunderschönes, weiches Schriftbild. Vermutlich durch die lange Lagerung nach Produktion bedingt (?).

The pen came from Amazon Global, most likely Japan. Unboxing the fountain pen was a wonderful experience. This model comes with an 18 carat gold nib, with pure gold accents. Unlike the Expert, and other lower priced pens, it is delivered with a converter installed, and a blue cartridge, as well as the guarantee paperwork. I always fill this out, and file it, in case I want to send the pen to France for a new nib, whatever. Inked it with J Herbin Noir Abyssal and the gold nib flowed over my note paper without a trace of skip, or scratch. Delivery was slow, a good two weeks. This is the second pen I've bought from Amazon Global and both have been perfect in every way.

O.M.G.! I am so loving this Carene. I hesitated and the price was not low but I think overall what a great decision it was when I decided to buy this. amazing fountain pen!Of course I had my eyes on the Waterman expert and the Waterman hemisphere fountain pen as well. But having the Ici et La waterman fountain pen, I thought the 'hemisphere' was on the same level, so I left that one out, but I will probably get it later. In the meantime, as i was narrowing my selections and had my eye on the red carene, I decided to buy the black with the gold rim, and in addition also get the Waterman "expert" with the silver rim. so for both I paid $247 including tax (! bummer) but I am loving both of these pen. Totally different from each other. Now in the reviews I read that many people found that the 'medium' nib was a little on the 'broad' side for the carene, for me, I like medium and have always bought the medium nib fountain pen, but this one is a tiny bit wider, and so it is ok with me, not a big deal at all. With a wider head/nib there will be a little more ink used, and the spacing will be affected, but the flow is amazing, the pen is running so smoothly on the page, I am loving it, and carrying both with me at all times right now.. till the fever subsides. Great quality pen, great workmanship, you can see it when u remove the barrel look at the inside at the junction where you add the converter, and it speaks volume, My only regret is that I could not afford the red or the blue or the white as they were out of my pocket range!

Der Füller wird von Frau benutzt. Ist sehr gut und hochwertig und preislich angemessen. Man bezahlt nicht vorwiegend die Marke. Die Feder ist nicht klassisch, aber das sieht man bereits auf den Fotos.
