I've never heard of a nib that is "watery", but a "wet" nib is one with a goodly flow of ink, which is not something you can get without trying out the pen to see if it writes wet the way you want it to. Try getting one of the thicker sizes, a broad or medium nib to get a wider line.

In my experience Waterman cartridge/converter pens generally aren't wet writers, but you might try an Exclusive or Executive (1990's pens) with a medium nib. The line is relatively broad, the tipping is very smooth, and the feed has two ink channels rather than one.

Are you sure it's not "waverly" (or "waverley") nibs you are talking about ?

i'm sorry, i'm new in the fountain pen hobby , so what i mean by watery is a "wet" not scratchy style of writing.

A lot will depend on the ink you chose to use.

Most Waterman nibs aren't gushers, but I have tried a Carene stub that was quite wet. That combination might be worth looking for, though it was more than the medium you were looking for.

 

Alternatively grab a cheap Kultur and do a little tweaking with the generously sized M nib.
