Are All Ichiro Juliets Serialized?

[Uluahunter]

I checked the Wiki listing and saw all the different serials for the Ichiro Juliets, but did this series release non-serialized frames also? I know that anything after 2004 was not serialized. When did the Ichiro's go out of production?

 

[Uluahunter]

Anyone?

No, they are not all serialized. I think the last year he wore Juliet's was 2008. Then he switched to Radars.

 

[Uluahunter]

Mahalo doo! So is there a way to distinguish if a pair is actually genuine Ichiro's or just a polished frame with the proper rubbers, other than having the serials?

 

[doowutchyalike]

His signature on the lens of course, but the only other thing I can think of, all of the frames, except the polished with emerald slate have a serial, from what I remember. So I guess someone could get ahold of the lenses and rubber and make a replica polished/emerald slate, but the other juliet frames I do believe have serials.

 

[Uluahunter]

Thanks again man! Of all the ones, that's the colorway I like the most (Emerald w/ emerald rubbers). Too bad there's no other way of telling...except for what you said (lenses, box, coin, etc.). Oh well, the search goes on...

 

[doowutchyalike]

Yeah, doesn't make sense to me why those don't have a serial #.

 

[Uluahunter]

Right?!?! Of all of the others, that particular one is different...WHY OAKLEY, WHY???? LOL

 

[Rubyskull]

From what i've heard, it's exactly this
Only polished/emerald slate are non serial
I mean some

 

[jonoyong]

yeah the later generations of the emerald slate pair wasn't serialized.
