Been Busy Buying. Enjoy The Show!

Got two more in today. I have finally completed the Ichiro Series.

Actually kind of sad the hunt is over for now.

The second pair is a pair of Gen 1 Juliet X-Metal Ruby. I finally got lucky on ebay. The seller listed them as Penny's and they came in a Penny box. I took a chance and there they were. A pair of brand new sub X5000 (they changed the process at 5,000) serialized Ruby's with original lenses. Super Blackhawk Down!
 
re: the oo blue iridium, my LOW serial (000455) JB (polished/Blue iridium) has alot of green hues in it, like your earlier OO blue..and another member on here has a later JB with alot more blue/violet in his blue iridium lens like your later pair.

i think there was a big variation across the production of both lens colorways, to the point that its really is indistinguishable between OO blue and Blue iridium.

oh well, either way they are a rare lens now and DAMN GOOD LOOKERS.
 
OK, so I picked up a few more pieces. First is an X-Metal/Ruby Penny. I am not a huge penny fan because I have a pretty big dome, but when I saw the serial number on these frames, I could not resist. I own the Juliet X000571 NIB, and when I saw that this was XM00572, I took it as a sign to buy them. Thanks to rubyred for selling them to me. I had a bit of a dilemma since these did not come with lenses. I was able to obtain an original set of Oakley Ruby Penny lenses but they were no where near as dark as my Juliet 571's. I had Doc cut me a set and they are awesome and very dark, thanks Doc. I want to be as accurate to original as possible but I have no frame of reference because I am not really that into Penny's. Anyways, lets see if you can tell which lenses I decided to go with.

Those are the original Oakley Penny lenses. I figure you can't go wrong with all original, and I may get a wearer pair and slap the cuts into those.

The next set I have been searching for quite some time. I was lucky enough to find a mint pair in original box, although the box is pretty beat and the foam is totally gone. Romeo 1 "Michael Jordan" Serial 1282. They however, did not come cheap.
