On the edge of qualifying as vintage, French Waterman designs of the 1970s and 1980s are of excellent quality with a period aesthetic all their own. Many use the now-discontined C/F cartridge, but those listed all come with converters.
16810: Waterman Gentleman: brushed gold plate cartridge-filler, two-tone 18K gold Super 6 nib, converter included; an Alain Carré design, the first model to bear this name, entirely different from the version introduced in the 1980s. Clip will not hold, internal spring is broken, a few feed fins are chipped (see detail; does not affect function), overall appearance excellent.

16813: Waterman Gentleman: textured matte black cartridge-filler, 14.1 cm long, gold plated trim, two-tone 18K gold Super 6 nib, converter included; an Alain Carré design, the first model to bear this name, entirely different from the version introduced in the 1980s.
