Waterman - Carene Standard | Marine Amber - Gold Trim |

Emy put special effort into obtaining the nib I wanted before sending the Carene to me. The pen arrived quickly even though it was sent to the far side of the world. It was exactly what I ordered and in perfect condition. thank you very much for your effort. Know it was appreciated.
The Carene writes extremely smoothly and produces a pleasantly wet line. This is an extremely comfortable pen that accommodates long writing sessions without fatigue. Waterman has delivered a beautiful pen that thoroughly deserved its long production run.
I highly recommend both Pen Venture for their service and the fountain pen.

My new Carene arrived three days ago. This fountain pen writes beautifully. It is smooth and comfortable in the hand and looks very elegant. The quality of the manufacture is superb. The nib is very smooth and solid to write with.
Emy’s care and attention was greatly appreciated. He went to great lengths to ensure I was provided with exactly what I ordered. Delivery to the far side of the world was quick, efficient and secure.
I recommend both the fountain pen and Pen Venture to any prospective purchaser.

Appearance: There are not many inlay nibs pen. And the Carene looks way better that the Pilot E95. The amber lacquer has a bit of glitter
Weight: It's a bit hefty. It's brass. I'm not sure will it tired when doing long writing. But the balance is right. I don't experience fatigue when writing.
Nibs: The nib is smooth. Almost like the Pelikan M800. But it's a nail. And it's 18k, not 14k. So don't expect any flex. The section is comfortable. No pesky threads (Snap cap). And there is no 'flare' at the end of the section. So I can grip anywhere on the section.
Conclusion: The cigar shape cap with it's unique end gives a 'elegance' with a hint of 'classic' appearance. It's not a vintage, more like retro appearance, like Shaffer's Pen For Man. The writing experience is enjoyable.
