Product Description

Product Name Exception Slim
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, France -- circa 2000s (the pen is a current model, but this gorgeous 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 feed is labeled "F" on the feed. It's smooth and firm with lovely tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. The lacquered surface is nearly pristine; there is one small (1/8") crack on the edge of the cap just above the cap band. It's really small and only affects the outer lacquer coating, so we are guessing it's something that happened in production. The cap still snaps on securely. We've included a detailed photo of this area below. The shiny chrome trim pieces have small scratches on the edges. There are some tiny spots of plating wear on the top of the cap near the edge of the round logo piece, and also where the clip attaches at the top. 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 Waterman gift box with outer cardboard sleeve. Paperwork is located underneath the platform.
