Received my order today and couldnât 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. Iâll be sure to tell Simon. Thanks!
Iâm 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 youâd 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!
I think I like the bead blasted best, but for now I will leave one in the brushed finish. I anybody is wondering the bezel is also a perfect fit for the Thorfire C8s.
What type/brand of polish compound do you use?
I built a simple contraption to fit the bezel on a power-drill, but using Brasso hardly made any difference with the original.
