[Nectam]

Hi I just saw a pic of Dragonvoi Impressive Collectionof 14 Romeo 1.
Besides being amazed rised 3 interesting questions ....
How many diferent R1 Xmetal alloy exist ?
Wich of those is the rarest.
Wich is the common ?
Do you know ?
I only have this picture from an oakley catalog.

The collection is very impressive I agree! In as were to your question , there were 3 models for the Romeo 1 on general release. These were -

X Metal / Black Iridium
Titanium / Gold Iridium
Plasma / Fire Iridium

The 4 digit early x metal black iridium were known as the Jordan's but I think you already know this. There was also a titanium version with a persimmon lens given to athletes, but were not available on general sale, nor were boxed.
Cheers!

Thankyou Discostu but
Wich of this :

X Metal / Black Iridium ?
Titanium / Gold Iridium ?
Plasma / Fire Iridium ?

is the rarest and why ?

 

[discostu]

Of the general release and excluding the 4 digit Jordan version as this is a collectable piece in its own right, the x metal black iridium I would say is the most common piece out there, and at the time was the most popular. I believe the Plasma Fire and the Titanium Gold are equally as difficult to find. There were 2 generations of each, the second denoted by an 'A' suffix on the serial. I will take photos for you if you wish.

 

[Nectam]

Yes. Pleas I wish. if you pleas.
You knowledge o R1 Is impresive do you have ant catalog wrer R1 are display ?

 

[discostu]

Do you mean an original catalogue from when they were first released? I don't have one of those but it would be nice . You're welcome and I hope the pictures help you . The last 2 pictures are the Jordan version (4 digit serial).
Cheers
Stuart.

X Metal / Black Iridium

I've never noticed this before but looking at the photograph, it seems my Jordan R1 has a double serial. You live and learn!

It looks like a fifth digit has faded from the second serial. 5991(8).
