You've really brought back that unique and eclectic vibe with your EDC. There's at least quite a few items that are no longer made like that SWM V10ti, and the MBI. Nice to see them.
Thanks BC. That gear continues to provide reliable and faithful service to me. That is along with some Steve Ku Veleno Designs smaller lights. The only very recent change is including more 18650 LI battery based lights for more grunt and duration use cases. I'm a little sad that MBI has disappeared. Although I've no privileged information, more concerning is the fate of TGWNN. I tried contacting him many times over the last few years, both IP based and even snail mail but sadly no success.

Some of HF's Paracord and Lanyards @ 0316 Paracord use in the pic is on folding knife lanyards and pocket clip paracord rivets. More specifically, the folders’ lanyards all terminate in a typical lanyard knot. Some have snake knots in the interim with various lanyard beads. The Extrema Ratio on the far RHS has a bead which is paracord sheath with helical twisted copper core to hold its shape. More details on the paracord rivets are in my earlier post here.

The original movement, which is no longer available as a spare part, was replaced with a subsequent model’s and is designated as 988.333.1. This also required the hour and minute hands to be changed from original to those matching the movement. The later Breitling movement adds an additional complication to the chronograph function being start stop and cumulative time count options. Breitling did a very nice job refurbishing the Titanium alloy case and externals in addition to the new movement. But then again their fee was not trivial.
