Waterman 52V – SUPER FLEX (On Ebay)
A nice Waterman 52V in BCHR. The chasing on this pen is a little worn but still has pretty decent texture. The black hard rubber has faded some to a dark brownish, grayish black. Imprints are all excellent. Very crisp and easily readable. The nickel plated trim is also in excellent condition without any brassing. The 14kt. Waterman #2 is a very wet medium stub nib (0.6mm normal writing). I emphasize that it is a very wet writing nib, but it is silky smooth. The flex on this pen is great. Ease of flex is near wet noodle. For how wet the flow it, it still has very good responsiveness. Range of flex is also good going all the way up to 2.1mm. If you like stub nibs, and you like flex nibs . . . this is a dream come true. The best of both worlds in one pen.
