that nose bridge looks nothing like 24k. You can tell it's faded at the top of the bridge (top view). It's tarnish at its worst, progressively spreading out. Nothing sinister, just a patina that not everyone is a fan of
 
So a plasma set of ear stems on a 24K frame Ill bet

It has a goldish tint, but is very different from the 24k.

Weekend warrior here. That nosebridge isn't from tarnishing. That's had something done. Tarnishing, fading or whatever is never that uniform. My .02

you'll be surprised as i had 1 pair of Juliet exactly like that on the entire frame just a little while ago that i posted here on the forums
 
This was one of the times when you have to choose, do you wait for more information (and the price to climb) or buy it now? Well, I usually choose buy it now... and this was no different.

They were called Juliets in the listing and they obviously were not. The question was WTF is up with the nosebridge? They were listed as new, but the loose looking/discolored nosebridge was definitely off. It looked like a strange color in the pics, but some plasma pics look funny and how bad could it be?

Well, they are not beat up, but the nose looks almost copper. It is just the nosebridge and the unobtanium inside is deteriorating .I don't think they were worn much, but where were these stored ?!?

Regardless, I am excited to have a Plasma XX. The question is, do I try to have it fixed or leave it? I actually kind of like the look, but they would look amazing if the finish was able to be restored...:idk: Decisions, decisions!

1st off congrats on the sweet pick up.

You can clearly see in picture #2 the top of the nose bridge and where the two colors differ...back of the nose bridge is plasma.
