WANT TO BUY: Waterman 16 double bands

**00Photo** · July 22nd, 2014, 10:17 PM

My birthday is NEXT February. I am posting this now because I know how rare these are. I am looking for a Waterman 16 with double gold bands. I already have a 12, and 14 with bands and it would be nice to add the 16 to the collection. I will not be able to purchase this until my income tax refund comes back in january or february. I will bump this occasionally in the hopes of finding one in the next 6 months or so.

I am bumping this because my tax guy is doing my taxes right now. I can smell my refund in the air.

I have a Waterman 44 Safety Wet Noodle with double bands of solid gold (:
It is currently with Ron Zorn awaiting restoration.

Income tax refund just hit my account. I am ready to buy if you've got these stacked up like cord wood and need them gone.

Have you reached out to David Nishimura? http://vintagepens.com/

I bet he could source the 16 you are looking for.

Best, greg

Are you only going after even numbers?...as there are 13s and 15s. There are also 18s.

You are fortunate that I am no longer buying pens, as otherwise I would be competing with you to add to my Waterman collection.

the odd numbered pens were only produced for a short time and are super rare. I don't see them very often and I have never seen one with double gold bands. I have seen a double gold banded 16 twice online so I know those at least exist. I have also never seen a double gold banded 18 and the price of a normal plain 18 makes my brain hurt.
