That's good to hear. My XX nose bombs are getting pretty nasty from all the oil absorbed over the years.

Very nice. Now I gotta find a beater frame to refinish too.

Nice buy. That was a risky sounding transaction, glad it worked out. Did you get it for a good price?

Pricing also depends on the colors too. 24K is the most expensive. Nowadays, Ti02 and Plasma probably demands the same premium in price, due to Ti02's popularity and plasma's rarity. X metal is the cheapest of them all because they're the most common. jcesl2 prices are pretty accurate. Do...

They fit fine, IMO. Its just the tip of the hammerstems that goes right up to the edge of the case, but the soft vault have rounded edges, so I doubt it'll exert much stress on the frames. Best part of all, they're pretty cheap, I bought mine for $20 at the Oakley Vault at outlets.

Please let me know too, when you find a set lol. The next best alternative are Juliet nose bombs.

Thanks Aprilia Man!! Enjoying the XX, they are minty mint.

I'm getting shivers just from reading this thread! Which asian country is this, if you don't mind disclosing.

Are you referring to these: 320981934201, the look more like x metal to me. Check out the back angles.

Any idea of future pricing for the service? Rough ballpark figure? I wouldn't mind getting my XX refinished with some bead blasting. They're quite dull at the tips of the earstem. Looking forward to your upcoming pics of the process!

You probably got nose bombs for Juliets, that's why they don't fit perfectly. Oakley no longer manufacture nose bombs for the XX, which are slightly larger in size then the Juliets, but they will work.

I own both. The XX is definitely wider. XS feels like a vice on my head.

That's an awesome deal, especially with the vault too!!!! Wish they had deals like that over here in the west coast!

Looks great!! Its like a bolder more contrasting version of the Ti02. What's the cost of getting the frame powder coated?

hmm.........strange. I have the O mark in both pairs of my prescription XX, but they don't bug me at all. It's totally out of my line of sight, so I can't even see them. I'm asian, so it sits lower on my face, lack of nose bridge, maybe that makes a difference.
