So it's something I can't fix myself? I just bought the thing in good working condition. And it's broken already?

Post some detailed pictures of it in the open and semi-closed position.
Stay calm. One of the things is that it is very difficult to diagnose a problem without very clear description, and - better yet - photos. As Jar mentioned, the lever boxes on Waterman pens can be easily broken if not handled appropriately, and then are tough to repair (though certainly can be fixed by the properly trained people). You have a fine, vintage pen, and you don't want to screw it up by attempting something yourself if you *don't* know what you are doing.
I also agree with Jar - give them a call. They may be able to walk you through things on the phone. Again, don't rush this or do anything to make it a worse problem. I'm certain it can be sorted out.
"When Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick;
and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."
