Hey hey, You just made a friend.
I like working on vintage pens, there's this NOVA that a professor gave me in year 10 and it always leaks but boy that pen write like a dream. It's fantabulous.
Whenever someone uses a pen with lever filler system they always play with it get ink everywhere and they always somehow make the nib feel gritty? Somehow. Peasants, please go play with your with your bics. Vintage Watermans are oooh.
