So.... Gun metal and Upgrade Gold versions of the Omega kits are ordered and expected to be on sale by the end of January. I know some of you feel that you have been waiting a long time for this statement to appear but this is all part of my long term plan.

Ultimately I invest ALL profits in the development of different plantings or new kits.

So whilst we are on the topic of new kits......
I currently have 2 'in the making' and plan to hold a forum vote (if possible?) to decide the next step.
Option 1, The Sigma, high quality pen based on the Jr Gent styling, avaliable in Rollerball and Fountain.

Option 2 would be the Epsilon, a ballpoint as an alternative to the Zeta.

One last thing, In the month of January I will be having a 'Flash 10 Sale'. I will post voucher codes on the forum which will be valid for the first 10 sales. These items will have a minimum of 20% discount.

I like both Dan so whatever you decide on I will have some

Vic Perrin · Dec 16, 2014

Both of these look great Dan I'm with Woody on this either or preferably both would see me ordering some.

Here's my two pennyworth
Option 1:The Stigma. I like the styling of the fountain pen, but not so keen on the rollerball
Option 2: The Epsilon. Sorry I don't like the top.

Dan,

Stick my sixpennyworth in - there are good JR Gents around at the moment, I'm sure that yours would be better, but my vote would go for the epsilon. As a pen that would directly compete with the Executive range from PSI it would be up against a pen that has significant design failings and if these were overcome then you're in with another winner! The Executive suits a ladies hand in the main, most I have sold are for Ladies, but the down side is that the twist mechanism is so tight that many are put off. Second point in favour of the Epsilon, you could develop the kit into a pencil variant if the design was considered at the outset. The Executive pencil isnt bad, but by no means excellent and a bit of tweaking with a reliable mechanism could lead you to a double winner with one pen kit.

With the quality of the offerings from some manufacturers of the JR Gent at the moment I would urge you in the direction of the epsilon! And I'll have 50 for next season please, and twenty pencils and lets be adventurous, all Black Titanium or Titanium Gold.

It would be the Sigma for me.

Sigma for me too, but, as Neil says a decent mechanical pen & pencil set is sadly lacking.
The only decent one I have come across was the sierra.
The epsilon lends itself to be a decent looking mech. pencil, the design reminds of a pen from yesteryear but cannot remember what it was called.

I'm with Neil on this one, the Epsilion looks to be a class above the rest. I will put a pre order on when you are ready.. :thumbs:

The sigma is a good option as well so don't throw it out the baby with the bath water so to speak. It should be a good seller in the market provided the quality is right.

yorkshireman · Dec 16, 2014

They both look good to me Dan. As far as a pencil is concerned I keep getting asked for them but I won't make them because of the poor quality mechanisms. If you could supply a good one I'd definitely buy 20.

rayf6604 · Dec 16, 2014

They all look good to me :thumbs:

Twister · Dec 16, 2014

epsilon with pencil option for sure

Steve

Grump · Dec 16, 2014

There can only be one, I go with the Epsilon all day long and Neil has hit the nail for you.
Sigma looks good for the near future though, you'll be offering a good selection of quality kits very soon young Dan.
I am very pleased for you and your customers init?

paulm · Dec 16, 2014

I like the Sigma because of the metal fittings but am not keen on the black band around the middle. If that was metal it would be super pen (and on the cap) and would probably a substantial weight which is what the punters seem to measure quality on.

I like the Epsilon and is probably the single part pen that I've been waiting for.

I'll have the normal order of gunmetal Omegas please when they're in and 1/2 order of Gold :thumbs:

Penpal · Dec 16, 2014

Quite an arsenal of penkit accessories and stock to carry.

Peter.

Jim · Dec 16, 2014

Either would do it for me Dan .. :thumbs:

TaylorsMirfield.co.uk · Dec 16, 2014

Thank you all for your comments. It is good to hear different people's views. I must say that with regards to both kits it is just a matter of time. My plans for 2015 is to add at least another 4 exclusive kits to the range. The Sigma is the kit that excites me as I am keen to put the Jr gent quality issue to bed. The Epsilon in my eyes was more of a gamble so you lot have put my mind at ease so thank you for that.

broadsea · Dec 17, 2014

Although I am still waiting to turn my first pen I think they both look stunning. So I would leave it to you. Thanks very much for my first order from you. Great service and I will certainly be back.:wink::wink:

Chrome Epsilion kits have now been ordered. These are likely to retail at around the £4.50- £5 mark. I will use the chrome kits to test the market and if it is deemed popular I will then look to stocking additional platings.

Best of luck for the new venture Dan. :thumbs:
