Would you pay $4.50 for a stainless steel C8 bezel by Convoy?

[mattlward]

I would buy in a heartbeat. That will not get in the way of the beam. Little more spill!

[everydaysurvivalgear]

Good work!

[troisanh]

i like the look j-dub74 and for $6 its a steal!

@J-Dub74

Is this something you would buy?

That looks great.

I wouldn’t buy one for the sake of buying one, but if I needed a replacement bezel I would definitely choose that over the original.

[J-Dub74]

Thanks guys. All positives so far. :+1: I sent Simon a few of these renderings too and I believe they have changed his mind. He said he’ll have a few samples made once CNY is over. I am extremely grateful to my friend for created these renderings for me. They allowed me to show Simon almost exactly what the finished product should look like. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Actually when a language barrier is thrown in I think the value of said picture goes even higher!

@J-Dub74

I asked a friend to help me create a “picture” of what I think the bezel should look like. He’s pretty decent with CAD models and rendering images from said models. Some of you may have seen my friend’s work before. :sunglasses:

This is about what I had in mind…

Is this something you would buy?

YES, I would definitely buy several of those……… :+1:

I think your friend did an excellent job of the “rendering” also.

Like you said…. a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case with the language barrier ; it may well be worth about ten thousand words ….

@J-Dub74

I suppose I can give you a glimpse of what I’m proposing. As you know, the first prototype didn’t come out quite the way we hoped. Simon didn’t like it at all and wanted to just scrap the whole project. I think I may have him convinced to give it a second shot though. I knew I needed to help Simon see what I was envisioning so I asked a friend to help me create a “picture” of what I think the bezel should look like. He’s pretty decent with CAD models and rendering images from said models. Some of you may have seen my friend’s work before. :sunglasses:

This is about what I had in mind…

Is this something you would buy?

Yes 3 of them!

[The_Miller]

Nice!
Now hope that Simon says yes!

[Jerommel]

…i hope they will be more polished personally…

[Jack_Kellar]

That render looks awesome!~ :heart_eyes: Definitely dig the “brushed” look of it too.

If I ever get another C8, I’ll get it with Biscotti and this on the business end, even if I have to save up a month more to get it :+1:

[J-Dub74]

Keep in mind these renderings are just approximations of what we hope the finished product will look like. My guess is that it would not look quite as “brushed” as the rendering but I have no reason to believe it will be polished. If you look at the finish on the photos I posted of the first prototype, that should give us an indication of what the finished piece will look like.

[everydaysurvivalgear]

The first one simon done is polish. If stainless isn’t polished it will look like the rendered picture.

[patmurris]

I like it a lot!
This will radically change the C8 feel. Definitely higher end and classy.

…speaking of stainless steel, i would love to see a SS S2 too.

[Caleb]

Yes, I would like at least 1.

[olddirtybooger]

Yes, 2 maybe more

@Jerommel

That’s why people invented Brasso.
And a spoonful of sugar helps the go down

[J-Dub74]

@everydaysurvivalgear

The first one simon done is polish. If stainless isn’t polished it will look like the rendered picture.

Actually, I am Polish but not necessarily polished.
I’m fairly certain the “finish” on the new version would be just like the “finish” on the last prototype I posted so it should be quite lovely to look upon…

[5ar]

Oh man is that dust and greasy fingerprints on the head of the flashlight.

@teacher

I think your friend did an excellent job of the “rendering” also. Wink

…. a picture is worth a thousand words…

Yes that's right a picture is worth a thousand words and the picture shows that J-Dub74 friend has a greasy hands and he does not clean the dust. LOL J-Dub74 you have to be more careful when choosing friends.

Bezel itself is great I have no complaints.
