Question 1

Is the nib made of gold?

Accepted Answer

Hello, happy to answer your question.  I own the Waterman Exception and I can confirm that the nib is 18kt solid gold and the nib bears the 18K 750 engraving.
You didn't ask about the color of the nib but it is shiny white/silver because it is Rhodium-Plated.
Here's a snip of info from Reddit, but I don't know if it is uninformed opinion, or fact.
"Gold always needs to be plated. Gold is very easily damaged if it's being rubbed against surfaces all the time. Rhodium is used because it is in the platinum family and is way harder than gold. So plating with Rhodium gives you the buttery smoothness of gold and the ruggedness of this exotic metal."
I might also add that rhodium plating is also a design choice, where its silver/white appearance simply looks better on the pen than would a yellowish gold nib  
You can find lots of info on this subject just by searching Google.
Finally, it is a great pen and the square body is a unique shape that stands out from the traditional round barrel pens.  It is one of the best-writing pens I own and I can recommend it highly.
Hope this was useful and happy shopping!
David

Question 3

Is the nib of night and day bicolcor???or just silver?

Accepted Answer

The nib on my pen is just silver. I bought it a couple of years ago and day/night might not have been an option. Great pen, does not roll off desk, but a little heavier than my other pens, so don’t use it as much as my other pens.
