Oh just make sure the nose bridge is tight and you're in good shape...that just means you won't have to spend an additional $65 for a tune up.

The pic looks more like a Plasma frame to me tho, not X-Metal. I have a set of X-Metal/Black Juliet's and they look nothing like that!?PHP:
really? I want the X-metal one so hopefully they are. how can I tell if it's X-metal or plasma? never have any of them so I am not sure how to check. except maybe it will be indicated on the box it comes with.

X Metal is more of a matte grey. That's too shiny to be X Metal. That is for sure plasma. I actually just picked up a pair today. They're still a great pair to have at $125.
Edit: Took a pic for you
Plasma/Ice in back, X Metal/Ruby in front.
BTW, since you're close by, we could meet up and i can show you first hand what to look for in X Metals.
And Rob, don't worry. I'm not cheating on you. You're still my first

Just make sure the ends of the earstems don't curve out, there are gaskets where the T6 screws are. The nose bridge flexes. And there is some weight to the metals. Even though they're titanium alloy blend, which makes them light enough, they're not that light.
Most of the fakes don't have rubber washers where the screw of the lens is. they also use regular phillips screws and not the torx. Also make sure the torx screws are sunken in and not sticking out from the frame.
I don't think you have to worry though. The picture you posted looks legit.Similar threads
