changing nibs?

One more time, all toghter now-- (no groaning, please)

Pens are not toys.

Even a snorkel? Snorkel in, snorkel out, snorkel in, snorkel out...

Here's a real NOOB question, but here goes:
I just bought my wife a Waterman Phileas, and myself a Waterman Charleston.
Can we change nibs on these between the two, or purchase other nibs that we
might like better? If so, how do we go about replacing the nibs?
Thanks,
PU

Not to mention spring-loaded retractable
rocket ships ... whee!

are the nibs not to your liking simply because of their design or do
they seem to be flawed in a way that you find unacceptable?

if the latter - than contact Waterman for replacement. If you just
bought these than they should be covered. I know the number has been
mentioned before - a quick google might bring it up for you - sorry I
don't know it off-hand.

Try 1-800-BEST PEN. If the pens are new Waterman will replace/exchange
nibs. I have had good luck with Waterman in cases like these.

Welcome to the world of PC pen collecting and not necessarily politically
correct.

Phileas is a nice starter. So for 25 or so why not buy another Phileas or
similar with nib you do fancy. Go higher and you can get genuine Parker 51
from the late 40's-50's in good condition. It will write and write and
write. Some folk customize those nibs to extra music .

Buy Frank Dubiel's book and other Penography. And of course pens.

I think the Phileas one is fine (literally) and is the right size for my
wife. However, I think I'd prefer a fine (as opposed to the medium that I
have) on my Charleston. There's qualitatively nothing wrong with the nibs
as
far as I can tell.
Thanks,
