I thought Oakley only made 1500 of these. Any idea why on Oakley.com it says "Order Now. Estimated to ship on 2012-08-13"? Are they making more? Also I just noticed Juliets are back in stock now as well.
i think they engrave all the titanium spines first and store them in parts boxes. when they need to assemble a pair they just pick parts out of a box randomly. that may be one reason why you would find 1500 shipped out before number 856.
If there are stores that have them and they don't sell, I think they can send them back to Oakley...so they may have some that are in the process of being shipped back.
