Before the official listing went up for the D4Sv2 the original listing for the D4S had the option for a stainless steel bezel and unless they made a small batch of bezels that only fit the original D4S then they are the same. I ordered one then for my original D4S and it fit perfect.
I think it will fit. The D4 doesn’t fit just because the head has been redesigned to put AUX leds.
In the first version of D4S there were already AUX leds, so there was nothing to change.
SS is often machined with different thread because it’s a lot harder to machine
—> it makes totally sense it does not fit V1 D4
—> this is also why Titanium/copper does not Lego with aluminum
or its clever marketing to make people buy V2 again because they wan SS
Maybe. I don’t know much about metalworking.
For me, all these options are likely, but I would like to know the real one. Although we know that Hank will not tell us this.
I ordered my D4Sv2 3 days ago, is it normal to not get a tracking number by now? I know I shouldn’t get in any hurry for a light coming from the other side of the world, but I thought it would have shipped by now.
I have several shipments in limbo as well. Looked it up online and they are currently in a holiday called National Day Oct. 1-7. Things should start shipping after the 7th.
Possible confusion. This thread is about the D4S, but the question appears to relate to the smaller D4 (no S). The SS bezel for the D4S is the same for the v2 as previously offered for the v1. It can be purchased separately and retro-fitted. I have done just that.
The SS bezel for the D4 (no S) has only been available since the D4v2 replaced the v1. Hank said it is unlikely to fit a D4v1. Apparently it will fit only a few of the very late D4v1 specimens. It does not fit my D4v1 from the middle of the production run.
