So right. Seems like a no-brainer now. It's so sharp and really adds an extra spark to the overall look, though for me it really only works the one way ... silver bezel with black AV switch ... the black bezel with silver AV switch isn't a look I'd want. I guess you could say I just like silver a lot, so I'd probably just do silver with silver if I chose a silver AV switch.

Thanks for sharing the pics Lord B . . . More points coming your way  Smiley


I don't know ? . . . I thought the same, but the more I imagine it I really think a silver switch with black bezel would look sensational on a Bellicose . . . It could compliment the black hilt highlights ? . . .

I have a white illuminated silver switch on my Emerald Archon, and it's been playing up a bit lately, so that gives me an excuse to change the switch . . . And my first instinct is a red illuminated black av with a silver bezel . . . But I might also try the opposite, a red illuminated silver av with a black bezel . . . Fun to think about it . . .

Thanks, bro. Yeah, I thought a lot about that for the Bellicose as well as the Archon 2.1 and the Guardian, just to name the ones I have and could envision that on the best, and I much prefer the brief moment of contrast that the silver bezel to black AV switch provides, otherwise the black hilt fades into the black bezel but maybe you're right on a hilt like the Archon that has an AV switch on a hilt with alternating black/silver grooves. I guess I'm just stuck on that bezel standing out more like the silver makes it. I really like the red illuminated AV switch except when the blade color is Bane's Heart, kind of clashes, you know, and looks like a Valentine's Day lightsaber.   Grin

Ultrasabers should really add a bezel selector option on their site.

It's starting to trend quite a bit now -yes! I had always gone with a "what you see is what you get" mentality when I was ordering my first sabers, not realizing how flexible UltraSabers can be with you if you ask. They're great!

Such a great idea JediXIX, will be doing the same with my Prophecy sabres once I've finished Op. Yin Yang!

Has anyone done silver button, black bezel on a silver hilt yet? I'd love to see it. I hate the feel and operation of the AV switches, but if it gave it a good look I'd be willing to do it on my Monarch when I order it as it will pretty much be a shelf queen.

I'll be doing just that, putting a black bezel on a silver A/V switch on my Prophecy, once the parts arrive from US, which will take about a week to arrive here in Australia.

Hopefully they get here before I make my order next week then  Grin

I did that on my Arbiter along with an Electrum Wind black bezel to match it:

Sure thing, buddy.  Are these more like what you needed?  If you need a different angle or anything, just let me know:

LB I do think I'm getting that saber one of these times or the dark version. You have really turned my eye to it.

Hey, you're welcome, buddy! My pleasure to help. That will look stellar on your Monarch. Rockin' it is right! Ultra Sabers would likely see a surge of new Monarch orders if you shared some pics here.   Grin

Thanks for the points!
