This converter works just as expected in my stainless steel Waterman Graduate pen. it holds a good amount of ink for a converter and I’ve had no problems with it yet. It appears to be a genuine Waterman, as it is stamped with the Waterman name on the metal part.A converter is a must for me as I like to use my bottled inks. Imo, pens should include a converter but most of them don’t.For some reason they sent me more than one; I appreciate the bonus. The converters were not in a box, just a plastic bag. As long as this converter continues to work as it does now, I have no problem with it. A little pricey for one, but okay with my “bonus.”I have no idea if these Waterman converters are the same as the “standard international” size or not. There is conflicting info on that, so I ordered the Waterman converter for my Waterman pen.The Waterman Graduate pen is a great pen, btw, especially for the $13 price! For an inexpensive pen it rivals my beloved Pilot Metropolitans, lol. (The Metropolitan includes a squeeze converter but costs a few dollars more than the Graduate.)I have a Waterman Hemisphere pen on order. If the additional converter has any issues in that pen I’ll edit this review, but I expect it will work okay.
