My first regulator

[L13]

Not new but pristine. I picked up the mk11 titanium with the S555 reg from Japan for $300. If you hunt it, you will find that sweet deal.

But no, no one NEEDS titanium.

I bet you could find a story of someone finding a "not new but pristine" brass mk11 for a lot less.

Comparing used Titanium to new Brass is kind of cheating.

With judicial shopping and a little luck you can have titanium AND money in the bank.

I was replying to your made of money comment. With judicial shopping and a LOT OF luck you can have titanium AND money in the bank.

FTFY.

The only time diver and money in the bank go together is with a no, none, nope etc.

But even more money in the bank if you buy brass. just did a quick search in classifieds for a Mk11 and the second entry was a Mk11 freshly serviced by Simon (@buddhasummer ) for $125 sold last month. There is an open MK11 for $200.

The last Mk11T to sell went for $400 after 6 months of price drops.

No, I sold a MK11Ti just recently that went very quickly, a day or so. IIRC I got my initial asking price.

I checked, listed Sept 12, sold Sept 12, $395.

Closed - MK11T titanium as is

As per title. Ip locks solid but I strongly suggest servicing before using as I don't know its history. There are some small scratches on yoke frame but body is in good condition. They are getting harder to find. I'd like ¥56,500 ($395 approx). Shipping ¥2750 ($19 approx) to the US...

I'd stay away from the Oceanic. No telling if you'll be able to get parts for it in 10 years.

I know... I know.

OP, the AquaLung is just fine.

True, but oceanic seems to somehow always squeak through. Whereas a better brand like Dacor didn’t make it.
