    It's was an Omega 0146650 Hi-Brush Synthetic
    I bought a Boar knot from Whipped Dog at 24mm
    With lot of work i managed to save the plastic ring and put the new knot.
    Here are some photos.

    I am happy with this brush
    The knot is working good,the handle is nice looking and it's light,the colours make contrast.

    Great job! You will enjoy that brush, especially after it is fully broken in!

    Very nice!

    What did you use to remove the glue holding the old knot in?

    From the picture, it looks as though you had to grind it out. (maybe with Dremel tool?)

    Bands like these are nightmare,the break easily,needs too much attention
    Lot of dust and noise but there is no other way.
    The loft is 50-51mm,when i broken-it little more i will post some photos.
