    Also, my little G got me this fellow for my birthday, he's sporting my Romeo 2.0 when not in use :D

    Refurb #3, XX live again :D

    So my 3rd set after the Romeo 2.0: Finally! Romeo 2 have been refurb'ed :D ... and the wife's refreshed Juliets: Another pair! Juliets back from beyond :D My XX, new Linegear ear socks and nose pads bought several months ago, some seemingly new temple shocks (not 100% sure of the...

    Help help help

    Yeah, I was going to suggest a tiny bit on a Dremel, it'll be much easier to stabilize. OP, you might also try to bend the orbital open just a touch (especially if it will lift over the damaged screw head), or use something like a 5/64th diamond wheel point, remove the head - then pull the two...

    Another pair! Juliets back from beyond :D

    So I recently did an _almost_ complete refurb on some Romeo 2s, it wasn't until the order for the parts on this thread that I got fresh temple screws - so, *ahem* a +complete+ refurb on R2s :D This thread for that: Finally! Romeo 2 have been refurb'ed :D Anyway, it was time for the Juliets...

    Recent Juliet's purchase

    Neat. I've actually got a pair of Juliet (polished, originally Fire Iridium/black) that I'm getting ready to refurb for my wife! I've got to put in a Linegear order (she wants to do light blue rubber + light blue polarized lenses).

    Finally! Romeo 2 have been refurb'ed :D

    Thanks everyone, yeah, I had been wanting to do a pair in red (I've mostly done black rubber + dark or blue lenses), turned out great! You know, it's been so long since I've had a set of OEM lenses, I can't even remember :D The description at their site is pretty accurate (from just a little...

    Finally! Romeo 2 have been refurb'ed :D

    So I've had a pair of Romeo 2 with mostly deteriorated rubber (the _original_ Root Beer). They've been through a few lenses (most recently some very mediocre parts from a decently known supplier off Amazon). When I redid my XXs, I got extra nosebridge parts for the Romeo (rivets and gaskets...

    Lenses for Romeo 2's

    If Linegear (see post #8) produces some R2.0 rubber for $40-ish like the other rubber sets, and that includes nose/temple/ears (guess they don't need eye piece gaskets), and in different colors, I'll be all over that. From other comments, and my (granted limited) experience with just nose...

    Lenses for Romeo 2's

    Thanks for the info, I was concerned that was the case since I never see it listed with other models (where there are multiple fitments). My rubber is actually pretty solid, just considering future needs.

    Buying  Romeo 2.0 Lenses (OEM Or Possibly Linegear), Rubber Set

    Per the title, looking for some new lenses for my Romeo 2.0, probably only consider OEM, but have heard some good things about Linegear lenses (just used one of their rubber kits, good stuff). Also would like to have a new full set of rubber on deck, probably brown/rootbeer. Lens color...

    Lenses for Romeo 2's

    Same here for the R2.0 lenses. I just refurb'ed my XXs with OEM Oakleys which are of course terrific, hate to downgrade my R2s with a mediocre aftermarkets, but if the Linegear are good, I'd consider that. The R2s seem to be one of the least supported X-Metals, no OEM lenses like XX or...

    $75 Juliet Box?

    Got your PM, I'll shoot you a line back in a bit, supporting the team doing a pitch, kind of neck deep in it right now.

    $75 Juliet Box?

    Actually we're both wrong :D ... though I led you astray with by using the word "plasma", sorry about that, I've been shopping so many parts/lenses, etc., I got my wires a little crossed up! I just grabbed the box from upstairs, and the it's for Juliets in Titanium and Gold Iridium ! Also...

    $75 Juliet Box?

    Funny, I just _found_ one of my boxes, it's for Juliet in X-Metal, Plasma lenses, has the outer slip cover, the coin, the interior foam has basically disintegrated. The extra funny is I don't own Juliets in X-Metal, mine are polished. I did lose a pair (flung off my head on a pirate ship in the...
