Black and silver. My Hemisphere was my first fountain pen. It sat for years before I rediscovered it. Then began my adventure...140 FPs later... I love this pen!
Hey! It’s Doug-resurrection Sunday! You should have included a video of Nosferatu rising from his coffin with your face superimposed. It’s heart-warming to hear and see you’re getting better.
What a nice reclamation Doug. Back near the beginning of the year I found & acquired a Hemisphere in a beautiful Prussian Green with a medium nib. They are really nice pens, and you got yours nice and shiny!!
It was my first pen, I got steel with gold trim, mine is dry, but very nice feedback, I love this pen, but when my collection got bigger I stopped using it as much, even tho I love how it writes, its just too thin for me, now the waterman expert took hemisphere place for everyday writer,
And funny thing about the expert is when I first got it it war terrible, the nib was skipping and I hated this oen for a long time. I decided to get it tuned by a so called nibmeister, he made it even worse, he made the ink flow better by separating the iridium, not the tiles so it got v shape from the top, but then my brother tuned it, and now its my best nib and I love the pen. This shows how important the nib is
It's good to hear, your getting better. I've got that same pen. needed a Waterman for my collection, without spending a lot. Found one at Peytonstreetpens, NOS in box with C/C for $60. Great pen. Thanks, take care. KB
Can't work it out, but there are three of them here: flighter, burgundy, and black. Perhaps I just like them? Thanks for another bright start to Sunday.
Weird about Waterman ceasing ink deliveries to Canada. I can't imagine what their reasoning is but it's probably pretty lame. I don't have any Waterman inks yet, but about a year ago I bought a Carene in the L'Essence du Bleu finish and I've really come to love that pen. Writes great, albeit a little leaky after inking around the inlaid nib, and the L'Essence du Bleu finish is outstanding, as is the wavy pattern on the cap. Very high quality and the Carene is a classy, beautiful model. The slip cap is great too. I've looking at another in that line for a future purchase, the Exception, which is pricey as hell but really spectacular looking. I think they're somewhat overlooked in the FP community for some reason, but they're great pens. Thanks for the video, Doug.
Nice job. I like the Hemisphere, but I'd have to say that the angled finial and the clip are better integrated in my Waterman CFs 😀 So glad to hear you are recovering from the dreaded Lurgi.
I never considered the Hemisphere. I have thought of the Carené amd waiting for the right price to show up. Their gold nibs are outstanding but you have convinced me the steel nibs are nothing to scoff at, either. Very nice reclamation, Doug.
Waterman has just raised prices on the Carene. If you're looking for a deal on a Carene, use CamelCamelCamel add-on to Amazon and track prices. I got my Marine Amber for a steal price!
I have one of these and I find it too skinny for me nowadays. I have it for sale for that reason but I have to say your endorsement of it here, might just make me fall back in like with it. Get well soon
Hello Doug from Greece ! I have noticed that some nibs write smoothly after tuning but the next day seems to need tuning again. Is that matter of flushing? I thought that tuning is something that happens once and not need to do it again

LOL That would be funny!
I have a flighter with a medium nib ground to a cursive italic, love it

Oh Doug I hope you feel better soon Covid is No fun :)
This pen is a winner. Enjoyed this video as usual on Sunday Pen Resurrection Day. You have a beautiful Waterman collection. Get well my friend. 👍
Thanks so much!

I agree that they are too thin. I have been trying to sell mine for that reason
Thanks for sharing!
I have two hemispheres and they both are very nice , wet and smooth.

Right on
Get well soon for a 100% recovery from COVID

Thank you @ibpopp. That is much appreciated!
Nice reclamation. That’s a nice shade of blue/turquoise with Waterman Inspired Blue. Glad you’re feeling better Doug! 👍
Hey Doug, feel better!
Thank you so much!

The Exception is a beautiful pen, but not many pens rival the looks of a Carene.

Cool, thanks!

@@InkquiringMinds it is not marine amber but there is a black one for $60! Now if I can convince someone I should get it...
No converter!
@paulmchugh1430 Incredible price!
If you want two more I have one just like that and a silver one that does have an engraving in it. Both pens I never use
Thanks anyway. They are very slim and one is enough for me.

Thank you, @kellieashman6908!
Covid sucks. Feel better soon.
Thanks!🙏
Feel better
I just got out of the hospital Thursday, what's the aging deal? I hope to have granny's Waterman's and some pen pieces on their way to you soon.
That’s great news on both fronts John!

It should be permanent. If not, then the nib needs cleaning.
@@InkquiringMinds i just did cleaned and aligned it but same...
@stathkon the just polish a little more with 12000 grit
@@InkquiringMinds i don't use micromesh but i will try with a nail material
