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 i’m a bit of a style w4nker…
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, I’m down for a few of these bezels…
I fear that it will not. I recall someone posting pics of the Convoy bezel on a XinTD C8 (RobertB maybe?) but the fit wasn’t quite right. I think it didn’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. That’s the best looking one of the three IMHO. Of course I only have Convoy C8s in clear and black. :person_facepalming: Go figure…
Received my order today and couldn’t be happier for the price. The stainless bezel is roughly 2mm shorter than the standard bezel and the crenellations are much more stylish.
Considering you mentioned the three goals I had in mind when this topic was first brought up (1. shorter 2. budget friendly 3. better styling) this report makes me happy. Glad you like. I’ll be sure to tell Simon. Thanks!
I’m not certain at this time but you can always order a black or gray C8 and send him a message (before you checkout) telling him you’d like the new driver with the Biscotti firmware. Simon is very accommodating.
Boy, I once paid $25 for a C8 with an SS bezel just to salvage off the bezel and install it on my top end modded C8. Must have had $100+ in that "UltraFire" C8 with a couple generations of modding. Finally, the Convoy C8 has caught up to what I'd consider my ideal C8!
