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

Iā€™m waiting for Simon to tell me whatā€™s up here. I know they are ready but I donā€™t know why BG already has them listed and he does not. Probably just too busy to get the listing up quickly. Maybe I opened my mouth too soon? :zipper_mouth_face:
I didnā€™t expect BG to get them at all really but Iā€™m sure they are legit. Those are certainly the same stainless C8 bezels Simon showed me pictures of. Iā€™ll post an update as soon as I hear back.

Looks great! Nice price too. Will look really nice with my shaved off tail cap. Thanks to Dale!

Iā€™m going to have to talk to this Dale guy. Sounds like a troublemaker! :wink:

The BG listing says ā€œcoming soonā€.

Convoyā€™s listing is LIVE!

BangGood is cheaper but Iā€™d rather support Simon directly even though BangGoodā€™s shipping is faster.

Many thanks to J-Dub for making this possible.

Man you people always beat me to my own news! :smiley:

Yes, itā€™s a go. Beautiful SS bezel

Youā€™re quite welcome but thereā€™s another person to thank here.

Simon had thrown in the towel on this project until I asked 5ar to help me help Simon ā€œseeā€ exactly what I was asking him to create.

A well done rendering is worth a thousand words. :+1:

There are plenty of pics of C8 with SS bezels on the web, and they are made with the methods of the day, when the C8 was still a new-ish design.
You can tell this new bezel is made in a more modern way, by the shapes of the crenelation.
This is what disappointed me a little, because the C8 itself is more old fashioned classic looking.
But i suppose iā€™m a bit of a style w4nkerā€¦

I will buy one or two though. :slight_smile:

Is it just me or does that stainless bezel look AWESOME on the grey-blue color? :money_mouth_face:

Yes it doesā€¦

Unless needed for stealth/tac mode, most flashlights look better in a 2 tone color scheme,imo. Just like my submariner watch looks best in the 2 tone model.
Add a tailcap in stainless, this would just add to the 2 tone look imo.

Good job guys, Iā€™m down for a few of these bezelsā€¦

Ordered one.

yeah!

Just ordered one along with a silver S2+!

Ordered two from Simon, along with a L6 and a S2 short tubeā€¦
Thanks for making this happen! :beer:

Ordered 2 Thanks J-Dub

Ordered two directly from Simon, thanks J-Dub74.

Sorry to ask this, but will this very good looking bezel also fit the XinTD C8?
I think, it would look awesome on that grey one! :+1:

I fear that it will not. I recall someone posting pics of the Convoy bezel on a XinTD C8 (RobertB maybe?) but the fit wasnā€™t quite right. I think it didnā€™t screw down all the way. The threading is the same just not the depth. It definitely looks awesome on the grey one. Convoy makes a color very similar to the XinTD grey as you see on the right below. Thatā€™s the best looking one of the three IMHO. Of course I only have Convoy C8s in clear and black. :person_facepalming: Go figureā€¦

When I get a Biscotti C8, itā€™ll have this bezel. I swear on that.

Received my order today and couldnā€™t be happier for the price. The stainless bezel is roughly 2mm shorter than the standard bezel and the crenellations are much more stylish.

Yes, threads are the same but the Convoy bezel doesnā€™t seat all the way down on the Xin, and the Xin bezel is too long on the Convoy (lens rattle).

But yeah, that grey with the Stainless is sweet looking
