Precision machined spinning tops...the latest trend!

Thank you. Might be tough to explain the price to the Mrs. for this toy.

Nice... how was that done?

This thread piqued my interest in edc spinners, but patience is not a strong suit of mine. I decided I would simply order a titanium spinner from amazon and it just arrived. Though it may not be a torque bar, It's not bad for being made in China . It is a Ti alloy and has a 24k feel to it, I really like it!

Joshual Dawson has an Indiegogo campaign for a budget friendly ($65) one-piece top. Dawsons are some of the smoothest tops out there. I always jump at the chance to buy his tops.

I see billetspin has a countdown timer for a new launch tomorrow, but billetspin.info doesn't have any updates saying what it is. Do you know?

All SS Triskellion coin.

Any of y'all go after the billetspin Nexus that launched yesterday?

I passed on the Crown; I liked the idea of a mini but this one just didn't appeal to me. I used to have a goal of getting one example of each release but that broke with the Bathgate and I no longer feel obligated to get every new one.

But I did decide to give the Nexus a shot, it may be a plain design but I liked the concept and materials. You never know what's going to happen when you hit the final button to complete checkout, especially with small quantities like this one, but I was fast enough, I got one.

I saw a video on .info dated 2/19 where he said "Andrea" is the only one so far with an example of the completed production version. Is that you, @AndreaW?

I didn't even try for the nexus, sleep was more important, lol.

Yep, that's me. I came really close to breaking 26 minutes with it. For such a long spinner, it's a great weight, has a nice grippy stem, and launches really easily. I too wasn't a fan of the Crown, but I'm a huge fan of the Nexus.
