Has anyone seen the picture of a black HA boss 70 on Instagram yet? Makes me think, maybe my boss 35 and 70 wouldn't have to match after all! It looks pretty mean in black!

I just took a look. Man, the BOSS looks great in HA black. Sort of like it's dressed for a "black tie" affair instead of the rough-and-tumble casual dress of the patina finish. With all the upcoming finish and material options I'm starting to worry about my bank account.

Hmm, some of the photos that came up weren't quite work appropriate..., will check later in hotel room.

& Yes, OR goes above & beyond in customer service.
Ha, yes I'm not a regular on Instagram, so it took me a minute to find the right instagram account too. Try "@torchlab".

To "pile on" - agree with Scout and everyone else here. Oveready continues to set the bar high for customer service. Now I just need to snag one of those beautiful B.O.S.S. lights!

Your response to the bezel removal situation (for those so inclined, mind you...) is yet another reason on a long list of why I'll continue to do business with Oveready. Customer Service at it's best...

I want copper. I know it weighs a ton, but...I love me some CU. But, really, IMHO, this, will be, the perfect EDC light, no matter the material. It is making me comma crazy!

OH my..................stunning

Well the year of 2016 has been a pretty cool year for us flashaholics, xhp70's and 35 HI's and stuff, but for me hands down, the BOSS is the light of 2016. It is a work of art............that is useful!

I may have missed it in this thread, but do we know what the colour temp will be for the Nichia Boss when it is released?
Thanks,

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice 'cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
-Selena Gomez

Copper's nice. < Pulp Fiction reference. :p

It was a lighthearted comment meant to praise a small American flashlight business who is at the top of their game. I'm positive every USA Made flashlight has components partially produce in other countries. Not to mention i have been purchasing from OR for years, I'm aware they rep countries of origin in their product pages. Jeesh! :rolleyes:
