Don't know about the self-respecting part, but I fit that description! I still value my first gen Seiko titianum Arctura and even have a titanium Zippo from back in the days of smoking. In an earlier life, I was involved in auto racing and titanium was the wonder material. I instantly liked its matte grey look.
I just ordered one but had a thought. I was imagining a total titanium package so I was a bit surprised that the P3-510 adapter is still the standard stainless steel. I don't want to appear as someone who complains about a free lunch but I'm thinking it will sorta break the mood on a titanium mod to see that band of silver.
Then again, it might be a welcome accent. I'll know soon enough.
And if I wasn't so impatient to receive it, I'd be midly annoyed that the tank got introduced just a few hours after the sale ended.
