I don't have any info on SKU's, but i was shown a sheet from the factory by a fellow collector that has all the x squared finishes listed as a percentage of total production. This was what they were approximately supposed to produce, not nessesarily what made it to market. I wrote all the...
All Ti02 Juliet's should have serials as they were discontinued in 2003 before the serials were removed. Also the x-metal is way off. Not nessesarily fake, but likely a plasma that has been customized to look like a Ti02. Value should be significantly less than a real example.
The later generations, 4th and 5th (re release oleos) had a shiner finish than earlier generations. Like plasma, the early generations were prone to discoloration, and underwent multiple revisions. The color difference is not the result of excess wear, just different generations of the finish.
If the frame and lenses are nice and free of any major marks he could probably get around $225 on ebay. A nice set of original Ice lenses are $100 by themselves. On the forum he could get $175-$200. A tuned pair however will not always fetch top dollar. Oakley tuneups are always about 75% as...
Juliet prices are down in general, and there are a lot of factors that go into what a particular pair will sell for on ebay. I really can't say I've noticed that combo being sold at a discount lately beyond what other pairs have been going for.
The half X does not have large lenses by any means, at least by modern standards. Compared to most of oakley's offerings today they are a medium sized lens, but If you're pushing it with a juliet already you probably would not like them. Personally I really like the way the half X fits, and the...
Looking for a like new XS, preferably with the box, coin, etc. I am interested in Polished, Plasma, or X-metal frames. Also looking for an IH Juliet, must be like new in box. Would also be interested in a Romeo 1. Only looking for later generation plasma and titanium frames, and the frame...
Genuine 006011-02 SKU plasma with Ice Iridium. Frame: 9 out of 10: Shallow hairline scratch on the nose bridge, but difficult to see unless its at the right angle. Could not get a good picture of it. Lenses: 8 out of 10: Small scratch on the upper right lens is the most noticeable defect...
The last actual auction price for a LNIB 601102 was $759, and that was a while ago as they do not come up often. So $899 isn't too crazy if you have the money and don't feel like waiting for one to pop up. I've been trying to find one for a while, but I think I'll just buy a plasma/fire for...
Recently tuned up at oakley HQ and have not been worn since. So the flex couplers and all the unobtanium is new. I also requested they replace the hinge washers and that was done as well. Just installed some new black iridium lenses. Unfortunately they somehow got some small marks on them...
Having worked with a lot of companies that produce carbon/aluminum bike parts in china I would say there is a very good chance the frame parts are "real". I have seen big problems with factory's intentionally overproducing parts, and selling what is left over. One of my friends owns a high end...
