A couple of days ago, my Waterman Carene fountain pen was bumped off a table onto my hardwood floor. Maybe a fall of three feet. The cap was off, but it landed on its side and didn't hit the nib. I figured all was well, recapped it, and put it away. I picked it up this morning, pulled off the cap and started writing. Huh? What's this? Something is loose...OH CRAP!
Yep, it's completely cracked through the section, right above the point where the internal brass junction fitting ends. I'll be sending it out to the Waterman repair facility, where I'm pretty sure they'll be able to replace the section. At a cost, of course.
This was my first high-end pen and it was a gift from my wife, so I'll definitely be looking to getting it put back together again.
