Review Title: Very Happy

I own a Waterman Carène with a M nib and am very happy with it. I’m involved in a writing project (copying Milton’s “Paradise Lost”, with footnotes) that calls for a narrower nib. I opted for the EF. Upon ordering I was surprised to find you were located in Europe. That explained the extraordinarily high shipping, but that’s the norm. I placed the order on a Thursday morning and received my shipment at 9:30AM Monday! Wow! I expected and received a little feedback, but it wasn’t distracting. Nice line width, a little feedback, but otherwise a very pleasant experience. I’m now ready for a Carène stub.

The Waterman Carene that was gifted to me had a medium nib and while it was pleasant to write with I wanted something a little more special. After looking at what was available I chose the stub nib and it arrived in less than a month after placing the order. In typical Appelboom style, the stroopenwaffel was a delicious accessory! The stub nib writes very smoothly and gives a nice line variation that the other nib grades do not. The Carene is a lovely pen and now has a nib to match. Thank you, Joost!

First, because it had to be explained to me, GT stands for Gold Tone.

The nib is great, it perfectly fits my Carène out of the box. I had no problems with skipping, baby's bottom or anything else. Works as well as the original nib.

Review Title: Carene Stub 1.1

I had to wait 2 weeks after ordering this Waterman Carene ST nib,
The initial performance was OK, but has some hard starts,
I've returned the nib to Appelboom with the request to tune it, and Anabelle did a very good job.
Now the nib writs smooth as glass and the line variation is fantastic.
The line width is very elegant and in small script the loop letters are still ledgible. This outstands the same letters made with the TWSBI VAC 700R Stub 1.1.
NIb with tuning makes the price a bit high, however, when it last, it's all worth it.
