In most vintage Rollerballs, the refills are dry and have to be replaced.
Waterman Master (often associated or interchanged with the Waterman Maestro series in vintage circles) represents an elegant era of mid-to-late 20th-century French writing instruments. Introduced primarily during the 1970s and 1980s, these pens captured a transition point for the Waterman Pen Company as it fully embraced its modern French identity and shifted from traditional fountain pens to alternative formats like rollerballs and ballpoints
Waterman rollerball refills use a proprietary fluid-ink design that bridges fountain pen writing and ballpoint convenience
Waterman rollerball refills are close to the standard Euro-style rollerball format, but they have slight proprietary size variations
Monteverde USA: They manufacture a specific, highly rated Monteverde Waterman-Style Rollerball Refill designed to be an exact drop-in match for Waterman pens
