@erdal I'm a huge fan of older Watermans, but their quality has gone downhill in recent years. The build quality of my 2000s-era Expert II compared to my old Expert is so sad. My Ici et La cracked its section after very little use. Definitely a brand for vintage enthusiasts, though.
Mont Blanc has always been a status symbol, not a writing instrument.
For modern pens, I tend to go for Namiki/Pilot, Lamy, or Kaweco. TWSBI is new but interesting.
