Expressing my opinion that I prefer something else. Six or eight holes for threaded or even push in plugs would allow light to exit and allow for use of both translucent and gitd inserts. Having four white or clear inserts to emit indicating the light is on and four gitd inserts to aid in locating would set it apart and be very useful.
Argh did I miss this in the Q8 thread? I was under the impression the bezel with holes was out but with inserts it would be cool. Yet we would talk about more parts and assembly steps.
So if this thread goes wild over it I can add it as option but for now I lean to saying it seems like a nice mod.
And wauw, in a couple of hours that wave rolled from a third/fourth position to shared 1
Keep on rolling!
Im liking the unique look and smooth edges of the wave assuming its doable without adding cost. If its not feasible then I would go with #2 standard srk look.
Well 65% now does not choose wave
And 71% now not want a srk style
It is simple there are options all discussed.
If the wave would have had more designs it would be in there.
We had a link to the post where the bezel discussion started in the OP and in the title was made clear it was bezel time.
Personally I find all designs different and do not group them, heck that flat with very small cutouts would be in the “flat” and “with cutouts” group
It would also be in a third group with the flat with bigger cut outs.
The wave and srk style have longest areas for light to escape and form a group
I think we would get more groups then options lol
Then we are going to propose the top two ranking to Thorfire and let them choose.
(So right now they would get a very easy to make and a wave that is hard. It is going to be hard to have the Q8 package for $40 so if they really love the wave they might do it or if it actually costs no more. We’ll see and besides poll not over.)
True Andrew2007
I started with the flat with small cut outs, it was lonely without any votes then and I thought it would appeal to both flat bezel lovrs and those who want safety (still dont understand why it does not get more votes)
now I am at wave
I like version #3, #4 & #5. If you sum these up you have 32%, same as the wave and the SRK around the same. Funny to see there are so many different preferences around this part. That’s why the discussion around it was so lively I guess.
Thanks for the poll the miller! Interesting outcome. I guess it’s 100% up to the design team now to decide how to proceed. BLF has spoken haha. #109 votes in a few hours is a good score.
