Well said sir. I never use aftermarket lens for my Oakley's. That is just blasphemy for me lol.

I agree with you on that point, but there has to be some sort of market for hard to get lens options, otherwise companies like Visionary Lenses, Linegear, etc wouldn't exist.or ordering a a custom oakley; thats what they really want you to do. as it is i dont think the company cares that much as most dont even buy custom or brighter variants much less create one of a kind combos
Part of the problem is that replacement lenses aren't even available for some current models, let alone discontinued frames. You're just out of luck if you scratch your Jupiter Factory Lite or Pit Boss lenses (unless Dr. Chop can help). Some lens colors aren't even made available as replacement options, even though the lens is currently in production. It would be nice if there was at least some sort of on-demand system for ordering replacement lenses that aren't normally stocked.
For example, recently I wanted to grab a pair of Violet Iridium Fuel Cell lenses to customize one of the frames in my collection. You can't order Violet FC replacement lenses direct from Oakley, so I had a few options (in order of increasing cost effectiveness): A) Build an OCP FC for $140 B) Buy a Clear/Violet FC for $110 C) Buy the same pair BNIB on eBay for around $75 D) Buy a parted out Violet lens on eBay for $35. I was really tempted by option C, but went with option D in the end. All Oakley really had to do was provide an option to purchase the Violet lens as a replacement (they do have them in stock at HQ, since it's a build option for OCP), and I could have bought directly from them and avoided this whole headache. As a collector who customizes the majority of his collection, I deal with stupid stuff like this all the time
Your post makes no sense.HDO, XYZ, etc. is all well and good when the O/Lux wants to make a sale.
After sale?
Don't care.
BAD "optics"...
Pity.
