I am not a collector but I love my Juliets. My first was the black frames I think they were called carbon. About 7 years ago I saw a polished pair of oakley Juliets and just had to have them. I only wear them on special occasions. A few months ago I went down to myrtle Beach and went into the oakley store wearing the polished Juliets. The manager sees them and comes over to talk to me about them. He said he thought I was crazy to be wearing them. He said " do you have any idea what they are worth. I knew they weren't being made any more but don't stay up on the latest condition. I took them off and he checked them out, they have the black iridium polarized lenses with no marks any where. He asked if I had the original packaging and the coin, I told him that yes I had this at home. He tells me that I could easily get 2 grand for them. He said he wouldn't be wearing them because people do get robbed of their expensive sun glasses. I thought he was yanking my chain, but thought I would ask in here what a fair price is on these. It would be hard to turn down 2 grand, but saying they are worth it, and showing me the cash are two different things, lol!!!!
On another note I am going to be sending my black pair to x man for a tune up and possibly new polarized lenses. I bought a pair of aftermarket lenses off eBay and haven't been impressed with them. Can't use anything but water to clean them. I used the oakley spray and it ruined the lenses before I even got to wear them!!! Xman has good prices on polarized lenses and I am sure they are good quality or he wouldn't sell them. I really liked the Saxe blue lenses and thought they would look good with the black frames with his blue rubbers. But they are sold out, if they are gone forever I will probably go with the silver mirror lenses. Just wanted to hear from yall about the quality of these lenses. Thanks for the help and advice.
