You say Omega, I say Virage

I fell in love with the Omega kit but couldn't find them here. Well the reason is that they are called Virage. These 2 have my serpentine blanks.

They are all beautifully turned pens, both pairs are fantastic but I love the polar opposite serpentine's in the first pic. I'd agree they share a lot of DNA but the Virage has roller wheel on the clip, how does that work in practice?

Thanks for showing Terry.

Very nice lot there Terry, and yes I believe the Omega is modelled on the Virage, Dan took it under his wing and improved upon it giving us a better quality kit.
I could be wrong but he would be the one to ask.
I do know he was in consultation with the forum as a whole and Neil at the shows to test them before launching it as the Omega.

Of course I could be totally wrong as is the norm lately init?
