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.
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…
Oh man is that dust and greasy fingerprints on the head of the flashlight.
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.
i like the non polish look. the convoy c8’s are matte black, so i think the bezel would look much better brushed.
do you think simon would give the early goer’s like us a discount? maybe a group buy, or a limited time order, or first 50-100?
$4 or even $5 would be pretty cool.
Sorry all, I know it’s been a long delay but such delays are part of being informed long before these things are even approved. I’ve spoken with Simon several times in just the last few days about the C8 SuperBezel. A small order is being placed for around 100 of these to be produced in the newly proposed design. I can’t make any promises on price. Convoy is a small business with slim profit margins so I will not ask Simon to sell these for any less than the price he sets. He is always very fair on his pricing though, as most if not all here would agree. Small runs of specialty items like this cost far more than runs with quantities in the thousands. If these come out the way we want and sell well, I imagine that we may be able to arrange a better price in the future.
Keep this in mind though…We are not just his first potential customers for a new product here. This is a product being produced specifically for us. I talked him into this on behalf of BLF when he didn’t even want to mess with stainless bezels because of high production cost and the fact that there has been no profit for stainless bezels in the past. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all about a deal too, but let’s just see how this first batch goes and take it from there.
