The Juliet Hammerstem Debate

[jonoyong]

Splice - does every custom frame color in custom come with the hammerstem or just the polished?

I will take pics next time I go to the O store.

based on the website, seems like only the polished frame comes with the hammerstems.

Here are some pics from the O store.

Custom:

You can see that it's only the polished with the hammerstem.

hammerstems look so so much better than straight stems.

The Oakley.com picture changed to a straight stem several months ago. I called Oakley several times during that period and finally got more than a "I don't know" answer which was that NO new hammerstem polished Juliets are being made and that any pairs with hammerstems are old stock. I also was told thE item number will NOT change due to this. Again...on the word of one rep....but they didn't change the picture online for kicks

Some people pair Ruby or Emerald but I think those look best in X Metal or Carbon. I've never done it, but the pictures I've seen of Ice or Blue Iridium in Polished look nice

I plan to get Emerald lenses when i pick up a 2nd pair of polished juliets. I think it looks SICK.
