Took a few more with a better camera... so you guys are thinking that with missing the top gaskets, and with the "modification" to the bottom, these are definitely not worth 400 then ?

They have a serial and the raised etching on the nose bridge, as well as the x-metal etching on the lens on both pairs... have fakes actually gotten *that* good ? Stress cracks on the lens in both pairs too... BRip actually had said the other pair were legit, as well.

Here's a few more: It's probably worth looking at the post I had in the "potential fakes" thread as well, that was the first pair I bought, and just noticed they also have flat inside, instead of screw holes. Oh dear.

Hey guys, I have a question. I snagged a pair of Romeo 1's from eBay, and they arrived today. My intention was to get some linegear rubbers and new lenses, and turn them into a daily wear pair, however I noticed a few things that I wanted to ask about. The first being this: ( Sorry for...

MAN, those are beautiful. I've never even seen the gold coin / softvault before. Are they limited to a certain model / serial ? Attempting to find even other pictures was futile.

So, a guy on CL near me has a pair of Juliet's up for 275$. Assuming perfect condition, coin included, etc, is this an average, good, or bad price ? Bad pic included below: :tongue:

Uggggggggggh, that sucks man. Sorry to hear that :(

Hey all. Anyone who saw my post in intros probably saw that I had a pair of Romeo 1 Black Iridium stolen from me while camping recently. I need to fill that void with another pair. Anyone feel like helping me out ? :) :cool: R.I.P Old pair, 2004-2012

Those look awesome... but a bit excessive ;)

Congrats man ! *jealous*

Black Iridium Romeo 1's. Had just been camping over the weekend, and there were no other camp sites remotely near me taken. I walked to the shower house and when I came back they had been stolen off of the picnic table. I'm still kicking myself for having the thought of "what do I need...
