Buyer beware on these pens. Their name, together with their $79.95 "list price" and the photo may mislead you, like me, into thinking they are worth more than they really are, which, IMHO is at most about $6-8 each. They're very ordinary ballpoints, just a cut above the $2.00 ones you can find at any bargain store.

I have to disagree. I've owned a Watereman for 7-8 years and they are fine writing pens. Use it every day. I'll put them up against a MontBlanc any day and they're cheaper. Lifetime warranty on the finish and mechanics. Not to say you can't find a very good pen at an office supply store for a few bucks and toss them when you want to, but the Waterman is a great pen. Worst part is thinking you lost it.

It's no BIC Clic.

i have always found them a bit sharp. i prefer something a litle milder with a darker wrapper.
