It is a very good regulator and if you opened it up you would find that internally there is not all that much difference between it and the new Titan and many of the 1st stage internal parts fit all the Conshelf regulators dating back to the late 60's. The same parts are also used in the Royal Aquamaster double hose regulator.
In other words, the mechanism is well proven out.
I have had a SE2 since the early 90's and it still makes many dives as either a primary or on a stage bottle to depths of 200+ feet.

I have been diving one I bought new in 1987 and other than a new mouthpiece and the replacement of a seat during a factory recall it has never been rebuilt and it is still going strong and looks and breathes like new. I inspect it regularly but it still has never needed anything replaced. It hold a steady IP with no creep it is a rock solid performer. I believe mine has the larger 1/2" ports on it if I remember correctly. As you can tell I don't follow the "overhaul it every year" philosophy.
I have one that I'm thinking of selling if anyone is interested. It includes a USD Conshelf SE2 first and second stage and a USD Octopus. It was my daughter's rig, but she no longer dives. I last had it serviced two years ago; she dove it once after that and it has sat in my closet since. I put it on a tank last night and it breathes great. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send pics.
