I have an awesome titanium treasure up for grabs. This one was customized by Fred Pilon for CPF member "BRIGHTERISBETTER" and features a dimpled finish with six tritium locators alternating blue and green perfectly spaced around the base of the light. I traded a titanium Ra Clicky for it and have enjoyed it as my night stand decoration. I am working on a new project and letting a few go so someone else can share the beauty of these masterpieces. The internal componants are unchanged because the Muyshondt Nautilus is a near perfect light to begin with. Pictures do not do this one justice. I am asking $500 shipped in the USA.
Someone is going to score "BIG TIME" with this light. Here is a link to the build concept thread personally masterminded by Bruce: Miles Davis 'BiG' Nautilus

Nice catch lisa. This light seems to be one of those lights that keeps flying the coop; makes me wonder if people feel a little bad carrying something that looks that nice on their keychain.

Yes, I see that I may be the third owner, or possibly more. My hope is that's she'll come to rest here in my humble home where I will idolize the customness of her.

Re: Photonfanatic custom Nautilus...one of a kind!

:thanks:Lisa... PayPal received :sold:and nice to meet you. Out of respect I ask you for one favor....:kiss:....if you ever decide to sell it....please offer Bruce (Brighterisbetter) first chance to buy it back! It was his creation and a true labor of LOVE! I gave Bruce first chance when I bought an extremely rare McGizmo Sapphire Mule on the Usual Suspect Network (USN) from him this past week . I offered him his Nautilus back in trade payment options. He gave me the OK to sell it so you are the LUCKY new owner. I purchased my very first light on the forum from Bruce and have had many fun adventures since. Enjoy and God Bless You! :welcome: Thanks again....Karl

I will put Bruce's screen name in the little database that I made that has comments about my flashlights. I will offer it to him before putting it on the marketplace.
And thank you, Karl for the opportunity to own a custom flashlight!

You have a flashlight database? Wow. You're a bigger flashaholic (flashaholista? flashaholix?) than I am.

(I think I like flashaholix the best. ;))

It's not a very complex database, it's just one that tracks the type of battery each light uses, the person/place I bought the light from, condition, etc. I now have to add a column that explains the type of LED in more detail.

It's how I unwind after work. :grin2:

I think 3rd owner from what I have seen of this light - that doesn't say too much though as Karl "rents" most of his lights as I do with many of mine.

A data base is an excellent idea - I've got a Ti SST50 light coming from ccmaciel (spelling) that due to the high power draw I will need to run a IMR 16340 in - not a CR123 or a "regular" rechargeable Li-ion.

What I always do is copy the sales thread over into a word document.

Ahhh, this beautiful lady does look a bit familiar. :huh:

Congratulations, Lisa! What a great purchase. I got a chance to enjoy a summertime photo shoot with this little beauty a few months ago; one can only imagine what she'd look like in the pure, white snow of an Alaskan winter. Take good care of her - at this point, she's almost a piece of CPF history!

:wave: Hi Lisa...I am glad you received your light OK and that you like it! She is a BEAUTY and I will miss that one :mecry:The lanyard ring is in the tail and folds out so you can choose to carry it on a key ring or lanyard. J&S lanyards make some really neat stuff for lights and knives. They have some posts on the forum and a store on Ebay under the screen name of splitshot1000. Enjoy your new catch!
