The Waterman Carene Deluxe GT pen must be the utmost achievement of the modern fountain pen. This pen is the most extreme example the utter perfection in craftsmanship, precision, quality and design, it gives an impression as if the whole pen was made with one swift move of the craftsman's hand. 
From Waterman themselves:
"The Finish: Blending deep black lacquer with a fine jewel-like chiseled silver-plated cap and golden trims to captivate you with luxury and vibrant style.
The Nib: The product of WATERMAN's creative finesse, highly-polished 18K solid gold is fashioned into a unique streamlined nib"

The Carene Deluxe GT pen is enormous, oversize. Posted or not posted the pen will stay in the hand firmly and glide over the paper. The nib is one outside the serial production EF/F/M nibs, rather this one is a marvelous writer OB oblique broad nib. There's no type of writing such nib cannot produce, from thin fine lines to very thick broad lines and seamless thick-thin-thick lines on the letters curvatures. It even has some small flex, so one can experiment by gently pressing while writing to produce even thicker lines. The pen can be used with any Waterman cartridge or a converter. Very easy to clean and maintain. Safe to use and carry, it features a double rubble seal between the body and section. There's that nice distinct "click" when opening or closing the cap, super precise. All trimmings are 23.3K gold plated; clip, rings, front and rear tip & crown. The black lacquer finish is thick, protects the pen from scratches and shines. The pen is in mint condition, near NOS, with minimal to no signs of use. One of the best Waterman pens ever made on the planet Earth.
