After my plonker day I went back to the lathe this evening to complete the JR set for an order and my first two Omegas.
I like the quality of the Omega and the look when closed but am not at all keen on the nib part which just looks a bit too skinny for my liking. Missus doesn't like it either. Sorry Dan, I'm sure it will grow on me and anyway who cares as long as it sells.
The bushes are very poor however as whilst the holes were central they were a bit oversized for the mandrel, the smaller ones are a sloppy fit in the tube but the large ones don't fit. One was extremely tight for the tube and the other wouldn't go in al all, (I tried 4 kits with the same result). So had to take a file and reduce the dia, hopefully just teething troubles.
