R1 frames Polished or Plasma you be the judge

[O's & J's]

I believe what happened here is what happened to me once. Plasma and carbon will polish super easy. I dont believe this to be truly polished. I think a cleaner was used that inadvertently brightened the plasma. Just my 0.02

@Ben Moody ?

I've already talked to Ben and convince him to pull his listing so he didn't sell somebody the wrong glasses and catch up Paypal case but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in the frame depending on price. Just trying to look out for my fellow Forum member but wanted some professional opinions to make sure my inclination was correct.

So I dug the breifcase-o-polished out of the display cabinet and pictured my polished R1 by the CE,USA& serial/xmetal logo are remains of the original finish if you look around thoes areas on these you can also see the orignal finish looks to be xmetal. These have a much nicer polish job then mine which makes me a little jelly!
