Thanks. I don't wear the 44GS often, but when I do I really enjoy having it on the wrist. [nt]

Happy to do so, Jad.
The Pilot Falcon is a relatively inexpensive pen available with an interesting "soft" nib in 14K gold. Unlike most contemporary nibs, the semi-flex of the Falcon nib allows for pleasing line variation. I very much enjoy writing with it, despite my very poor handwriting. An example of the possibilities, even from my poor hand.
Note that I am writing on inexpensive office paper so there is a bit of bleed that you won't get on better paper.
I have only two complaints about the pen. One, it is a bit small. See pictures below for comparison to the larger Pelikan M805 and very large Pelikan M1000. The Falcon is about the smallest pen I can use unposted with my average size hand. Though mine is HUGE compared to Donald Trump's! ;-) Two, the pen feels a bit "plastics", perhaps mostly because it is so small and light compared to others in my collection.
Some may not enjoy the Falcon because it is a cartridge/converter pen. I'll admit I prefer a piston or vacuum filler, but there is room in my collection for everything. Aesthetically, the pen is really nice, and it appears well made. From a price to value perspective, this pen is an absolute winner.
Hope that helps!

Hello California Jed! Great combo you show! It makes me feel again I need a Seiko GS in my collection! ...
... and regarding the Falcon, agree with your opinion on this little sweet pen. My complain is also with the converter being so small and with such a generous ink flow on mine, the "power reserve" is consumed in a blink. Mine has the nib customized by Nibmaster Ed Mottishaw which in combination with the semiflex of this nib makes for a very interesting writting capability. Mine is black plastic and bought a few years ago. Nowadays there is the option of a metallic Falcon for those who you and me think it looks rather cheap in plastic.
Cheers! Abel.

Jad, I can't recall where you're based
But they are easily had, at good prices, online.
