Anyways, It does warm up a hell of a lot faster than aluminum *****, etc.

Rep Power: 0 I hate the way the Spoon Titanium **** looks...That's my opinion of coarse, but just wish they would have got more creative with the design...It's way too expensive for what it is.. Yeah, it's light, but it looks like something you buy at Autozone...My 2 cents

I HIGHLY doubt thats actually "Titanium". It would cost more just to get the chunk of titanium to machine it. At the most, a piece of it is titanium and the rest is aluminum (it does say the **** is 3 pieces).

Rep Power: 400 alright, true, if you buy shitloads of it. But then its what? $65-75 an hour for the machining (labor, overhead, etc...)? So figure it takes 8-12 minutes to make one, you gotta pay someone to assemble it, finish it, package it and ship it. Thats gotta be close to $30 right there. Then make your profit on top of that. Something just doesn't shake out right. Obviously most of the titanium ones are OEM or big names, but even the knockoff aluminum ones are going for $30ish and up... so something still doesn't make sense in the price department.

Rep Power: 0 Something definately stinks alright. I would DEFINATELY spend an afternoon in my machine shop rather than paying some company a fat load of money for something that really isnt all that complicated to make. The hardest part would be to engrave the top of the ****. But... Why do they even do that anyway? What kind of retard needs to look at the shifting diagram? I dont even find it attractive in any way. If I made my own, I'dd leave it bare.
The only thing thats stopped me from making one is the cold **** scenario... But maybe this thread has peaked my interest if some say it heats up quickly. My hardest choise would be finnish. Satin or polished? I personaly think the heat treated look is very lame. Who wants a rainbow ****? LOL

Rep Power: 0 I should get a picture of the appraised ring. It wasnt that special at all. But it was done at a proper appraisal place, so Im assuming that its somewhat accurate. But one thing I must add is he didnt tell the appraiser that he made it. That might have affected the value somehow. Funny how that works eh? But yeah, now he has a passport for the ring with the value. If we could only offload them for decent coin in large quantities, then we would be laughing. Even if we got 1/3rd of the appraised value we'dd be laughing.

Rep Power: 357 I saw a wedding ring with Titanium on it, looked pretty cool. it was a band of Platum with 2 bands of Titanium around it, the contrast of the 2 metals was actually really good looking.
