I buy the highest quality top of the line gear but use it until it falls apart.
Let us know how that works for you when you realize it's time for gear replacement while you're inside a wreck at 130'.

Uh huh......Let us know how that works for you when you realize it's time for gear replacement while you're inside a wreck at 130'.
I drive my cars until the wheels come off. In reality, they never have really fallen off. I bought a Sherwood Magnum in 1980. I used it for multiple decades and it was only retired when replacement parts became an issue and that was only in the last few years.Let us know how that works for you when you realize it's time for gear replacement while you're inside a wreck at 130'.
I'm the same way. I get a satisfaction from getting the 'full life' out of my stuff. I actually prefer to do this than get new stuff. Weird, I know.I drive my cars until the wheels come off.

Most failures of good gear at 130’ inside of a wreck are are going to be the diver failing to inspect and maintain his gear, not that he spent too much money on it.
Spread some live for your favorite products, or maybe give a newer diver something to chew on when thy're thinking about gear choices...
At any rate, list your 3 or 4 favorite pieces of gear (be specific... 'Halcyon Eclipse 40lbs wing', NOT 'My BP/W).
Here's mine (not in any specific order).
1. Shearwater Perdix AI Computer w/ transmitter
2. Deep6 Eddy Fins w/ hard soled Henderson Boots
3. Halcyon 3.3 meter DSMB w/ Dive Gear Express SS Spool
