Re: Final Batch of Titanium Nautilus Lights

I'm planning on having all currently ordered lights, and any orders placed between now and Thursday night, built and shipped by Friday, so most of you should expect to see them in early next week.

Great news! Thanks for the update. I'll probably see it by Tuesday, then. :thumbsup:

Thanks for these sales, Enrique!

It was an exceptionally nice ride, accompanied by beautiful flashlights.

Oh good, I am saved from the temptation to buy *another* spare.

Re: Final Batch of Titanium Nautilus Lights

Isn't the knurling the best ever?! I sometimes have to take it out of my pocket and just fiddle with it. And the Ti on brass threads are Oh so smooth. Enrique's expectations when it comes to machining seem to leave little room for compromise-perfect or no thanks. All my lights from him are spot on.

Yeah, it's very nice. My buddy Scout24 made the best analogy - it's like the elegance and simplicity of a Rolex. Or a McGizmo, for that matter. Like a Rolex, understated, very high quality, timeless design, built to last multiple lifetimes. I fully expect to pass my 26 year old Oyster Perpetual Datejust down to my son some day. Will probably pass this Nautilus down to my daughter.

Not the brightest, no disco modes, no programmability - just a virtual guarantee of light when you need it, 2 usable levels, nice beam, and real 'purdy' to look at! I picked up an al Aeon on the marketplace - I'm liking it, too. My hope is that the ti Aeon MkII (yes, I preordered one), with its 3 levels and 219 emitter, will offer a REALLY low low and maybe a bit more 'oomph' on high - the medium would be perfect if set where the low is on the Nautilus. And that 219 beam ought to be awesome.

So thanks again, Enrique! Great little lights!

Re: Final Batch of Titanium Nautilus Lights

Regarding lubrication: I've found that plain oil works best. (I have a tube of Nano Oil for my brass-on-Ti lights.) The oil re-flows around the threads every time you twist the head, so the titanium threads can't shed the oil permanently, and the oil sticks to the brass threads very effectively. The oil also doesn't trap the metal shavings, but lets them get pushed out of the way, so they don't continue to grind on the threads after the threads break-in.

Regarding the O-ring: On the two Nautilodes I had (I still have one), the O-rings were fairly loose compared to my Aeons. I discovered that a #016 nitrile O-ring (originally intended for a McGizmo) works perfectly to tighten things up.

Couldn't do Titanium this time around, but picked up an Al one and it has quickly become one of my favorite lights. Easy to carry and use, always works. A fantastic light.
