X Metal Romeo 2.0 polished/titanium

Managed to find these brand new in a local bike shop last week. Unfortunately they had lost the box quite a while ago so no box and accessories for me. Luckily the owner was very kind and gave me the Oakley metal case as a gift. "They were just sitting there for like 10 years" she said!

Yeah and the most impressive part was that they also had a BNIB X metal XX Plasma/Iridium! But would not sell for anything. Their oakley rep had mentioned how rare and sought after they were so they refused to sell. It even had the original sticker stating $275

Ask them if they are a shop or a museum!

LOL! I will definitely revisit them often. I will be like that one annoying customer that walks in and talks forever but doesnt really buy anything. I'm sure they'll sell it at one point just to get rid of me..

Congratulations on still finding a pair in a store! Excellent condition. Good gift as well, although the original box would be better.
I can't believe they still have that XX!! Hopefully you can talk them in to selling it.
