I would guess your Waterman is either a Man 100, Man 200, or Man 100 Opera.

The black Waterman fountain pen is a Waterman Man 100.

 

This is the 100-year anniversary pen for Waterman; I included the Waterman Heritage link below.

The Cross pen appears to be a Townsend with a steel nib. I own a few Townsends and find them extremely pleasant to write with. Congratulations on your pen find. If you're beginning this effort at digging up the past with a Man 100 and a Townsend, we look forward to even more good news.

The Cross pen is a Cross Townsend Medalist.

I would guess your Waterman is either a Man 100, Man 200, or Man 100 Opera.

Below are hyperlinks to examples of Waterman Opera (a.k.a. Man 100 Opera) and Waterman Rhapsody (a.k.a. Man 200) fountain pens on eBay.

 

Opera (notice the larger size of the pen as well as the chased cap and chased body; this is one of the original Opera fountain pens due to the larger size nib and the "world" engraved on the nib; the re-released Opera had a smaller nib without the "world" engraved on the nib): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterman-Le-Man-Opera-Fountain-Pen-Black-1988-IDEAL-Paris-NIB-Medium-PT-/371065191750?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5665357d46

 

Rhapsody Mineral Red (also came in Mineral Blue and Mineral Green): http://www.ebay.com/itm/WATERMAN-LE-MAN-200-RHAPSODY-RED-MARBLE-FOUNTAIN-PEN-18K-GOLD-NIB-/161321585393?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PensPencils_WritingEquipment_SM&hash=item258f840af1

 

Rhapsody (some refer to this as "Red Ripple" or "Orange"; also came in "Blue Ripple" and "Green Ripple"): http://www.ebay.com/itm/WATERMAN-LE-MAN-200-RHAPSODY-RED-RIPPLE-FOUNTAIN-PEN-18K-GOLD-NIB-/161317502800?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PensPencils_WritingEquipment_SM&hash=item258f45bf50

 

Rhapsody Caviar (also came in Blue Caviar): http://www.ebay.com/itm/WATERMAN-LE-MAN-200-RHAPSODY-CAVIAR-FOUNTAIN-PEN-18K-GOLD-NIB-/201096860307?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PensPencils_WritingEquipment_SM&hash=item2ed24e9293

And, not to cause trouble, I must mention that I purchased the pen referred to as "Blue" on the page above in its original box with its original factory label which was marked "Blue Caviar".
