Waterman's response to the Parker 51, introduced in the late 40s is a fantastic pen. It writes beautifully and I love the style. It can be found on eBzay for very little money. It is a great way to try a quality vintage pen without breaking the bank. I used one as my only pen for several years. A cautionary note: if the pen needs a new sac (mine did not!) it's a job best left to a professional, for separating the section from the barrel is not an easy job.
