Keep it sealed for now. You already EDC one so you know what is in the
box. Your just curious about the serial

You never know, in a couple of years a high rolling collector, new to CPF
maybe after a Titan .... and you will have a truly MINT Titan :naughty:

Good points by all.

Damn, I'm a lousy photographer

It's that camera-baffling shrink wrap. It'll work much better if you open it

What a nasty tease you are:devil:.

Is that a tear I see in the shrink wrap?

Don't open it, and just sell it in a couple years!

I inspected it just now to double-check, shrinkwrap is 100% intact.

Go ahead and open it up. You can always have it re-shrink wrapped.

Curiosity killed the cat~. Whether or not this simple act will kill the selling price is ambiguous. Mine looked just like yours a couple months back and curiosity got the best of me. I got handsome number 0724! It's still brand new (minus the shrink-wrap) and yet on the MP for awhile now.

Since you already have an EDC and the battery thing was solved, I would keep it wrapped IF you plan on selling it. Not only does shiny wrap seem to obstruct the camera focus :naughty: but it might help in a future sale.

I hope they didn't forget to pack your light inside.
You can never be sure until you open it to check.

Not that I'm condoning the opening of the box, but if you opened it, you could take neat photos like these:

Wow, congrats on #0005! I wondered who that went to

I was going to keep it quiet, but now I have to focus on just keeping it. I wound up with some extra/unplanned expenses and now I need to evaluate whether to keep it or to pass the torch, so to speak.

I believe SF issued a recall notice on that batch of shrink-wrap, as it was failing in places and even where it wasn't failing it was giving off harmful fumes. I think you ought to get rid of the shrink-wrap completely and while you are at it, you might just as well check the serial # and see if the light works (it could be a dud - you never know, do you?)

Re: Surefire Titan (factory sealed) - To Open, Or Not To Open

I've already got S/N 307 that I EDC, and now I've also got an original titanium Titan in its factory sealed retail packaging; shrinkwrap and all. The suspense is a killer not knowing what the S/N is, but I know that the moment I open it, it instantly loses value. I'm thinking I should leave it alone as a collector's item since I have one I carry daily anyway.

What would you do?

PICS IN POST #23

You never mentioned why you bought this second one. If you bought it ti use it, then open it.. If you bought to hold and sell BNIB later, then put it away till you are ready. To sell it.

1000 Titans world wide not limited enough.:thinking:

Bill

Everyone should feel a little bit different about this.
It seems most Ti light makers who do mass-limited-run goes for 200 ~ 500, these days. And I feel even 500 is not rare enough.
