Product Description
Type Modern cartridge/converter fountain pen.
Product Name Exception Slim
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, France -- circa 2000s (the pen is a current model, but this color is retired.)
Length 5-7/16" capped.
Filling System Takes international/Waterman cartridges or converters. A Waterman piston converter is installed.
Color Celadon Blue, a pale icy blue, lacquer body with chrome plated trim in a squared shape.
Nib FINE 18k 750 nib marked Waterman Ideal. The pen is labeled, "F," on the feed. It's smooth and firm with lovely tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. The lacquered surface is nearly pristine; there are two tiny (1/16") cracks on the cap edge just above the cap band, one of which can be seen in the first photo below. It's really small and only affects the outer lacquer coating, so we are guessing it's something that happened in production. The shiny chrome trim pieces have small scratches on the edges. The clip also has light scratching near the open end. No cracks, dings, dents, or personalization. It's working very well. The imprints are clear. Ships in large Waterman gift box, the interior of which is lined in faux leather that's cracking and beginning to deteriorate. Paperwork and a box of Waterman cartridges are located underneath the platform.
