X-Metals devaluation due to customizing

[STavros]

I am thinking of having a frame done like this one @RoTors posted earlier. Black ceramic.

There will always be value associated with X-Metals. It's all about personal preference and what someone is willing to pay for what the customizer deemed necessary for the project. I too associate it with cars, which one would you prefer?
Option 1?

Or option 2?

Stock compared to restomod. I like option 2 myself.

i just have 2 identical Romeo 1 xmetal finish without boxes but both in mint condition no marks or scratches on the frame.i was just thinking of keeping the lowest serial of the 2 untouched and customize the other one

So, here's what I think: you have 2 great pairs of glasses, but not many people would be willing to buy either as a collectible...no box or coin or paperwork or nothing...you simply have a nice sought after daily wearer...

If you customize one, it could increase or decrease in value based on who you talk to...

Just do it and be happy...I customize my frames and I buy customized glasses to make ME happy, not because I'm looking to flip them for more money...

A million people would pick option 1

A million people would pick option 2



*i'd take option 2 every day*

I pick 2 but I also pick Eleanor from newer gone sixty 60 seconds! Main reason I want to drive it like I stole it

As stated above, my opinion is it all depends on the frame. Rares should be left alone. Also, I think a big part of it is if you are doing it for you to wear forever, or to sell. Thats the biggie. Value doesn't matter if you like it and don't want to sell. And of you're unsure of you're going to like the finished product, you shouldn't be doing it then either.
