Greetings all,
Last year I invested in a pair of Oakley Gasser frames for my daily wear glasses. I spent mad money on scripted/transition/progressive bifocals ($$$) for the frames and like the lightweight frame. However I do NOT like the fact that the coating is already starting to chip off the frames. This is the second pair as the same thing happened to the first pair and they swapped them out on warranty. Needless to say I am disappointed with the quality that Oakley is producing today.
So...I am thinking of getting a second pair of X Metals, one for scripted sun (currently a 17 year old XX X metal finish that are amazing) and one for daily script/bifocal/transition. I love my XX and they are every bit as together as the day I bought them...no coating to fall off! I am considering a pair of Juliets for the daily wear (also in X Metal finish) but am curious about the dimensions of the lens on that frame. Unfortunately I have not the option of going to an Oakley store to size them up. Does anyone know of a dimension diagram or have one that they can forward off to me? My secondary thought is that the lenses that are currently in my Gassers can be modified to fit a set of Juliets. That would be optimal as the price of these lenses were ridiculous. They are quite functional..but expensive. If I have to redo lenses on Juliets I want to know that the frame and lens is big enough for my face. I could compare the dimensions on the frame with these Gassers which are 55/18 frame size.
Any help I could get on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks all!
