Bringing Romeo 1s Back To Life *Updated Pics*

I'm new to the forum and figured I'd put my first post here since it has to do with my Romeo 1's. My first pair of Oakleys I purchased were a set of E wires over 17 years ago. I loved them because I could get prescription lenses tinted and was allowed to use them for my job (outdoor forklift driver). Fast forward a few years down the road and I found myself really liking a pair of Romeos. They were a newer design (to me) but still reminded me of those e wires. Now when I say I'm hard on sunglasses, I mean I put them through hell. The titanium frames appealed to me in that respect and although I don't remember when I purchased these (early 2000's) I have literally worn them every day up until about a year ago. This is the fourth or fifth set of lenses I've put in them (all ebay bought after the OEMs) and really enjoyed the glasses after a lasik surgery allowing me to throw away contacts. However, there was always a noticeable difference where the lenses just weren't quite up to par with the originals. In a last ditch effort to replace the rubber gaskets, nose pads, etc. my search led me to this forum. Now, after a few texts with InfiniteHero I hope to have some OEM lenses back in them, new bits from Linegear to dress them up, and spend another 15 years enjoying my Oakleys.

After a bit of reading I thought I might have a set of Jordans, but the serial # is 000632. Low, but no cigar.
i hope i can own a pair before my life is done :(
