A year ago, I joined this forum looking to sell my Polished Juliet or fix it up. At the time, I had some idea that it was a Juliet but I didn't know what type, colorway, etc. After a bit of forum trolling...err, welcoming, I was able to source some nosebombs from @dingo ate my baby to replace the ones that I had lost. Then, I was looking for someone to repolish and tune my Juliets and that's where @zwc0442 came along. He got me settled for a good price and since then, we've become good friends.

From the Polished Juliet, my next purchase was Ferrari Carbon Blades...which I sold again, as I didn't like them as much as I thought I would. From there, I bought a PBII, Tinfoil, Flak 2.0, and eventually a PBI. Again, sold the PBII and PBI. Instead, I obtained an XX TIO2 and a XX Plasma @Skyler . From there, I eventually traded the XX TIO2 to another XX Plasma. One of the XX Plasmas, I traded to a NIB Complete Plasma R1 @Serhat (the XX Plasma at that point had some expensive upgrades). And from there, I obtained a PBI RB and another XX TIO2.

So, in the end, I had to go thru quite a number of frames to figure out what I like and what I didn't like. At this point in time, I have a few O-Matters and a small, but tasteful choice of X-Metals. I tried to hold strong and do with one pair, but like all of you said, X-Metals multiply in number..

So, without further adieu, here is my current collection (minus O-Matter and Juliet, don't have the stands to display those nor do I want to). The XX Plasma has some Ice Iridium Polars coming in, whilst the XX TIO2 has some Chrome Iridium Polars coming in:

Nice collection, bro.

I try to keep my numbers low and give all my shades some face time.

I have broken the rules of late and the spiral into Double/Triple wides is imminent unless I kerb my enthusiasm/addiction....

Yep, currently, I feel like this number of X-Metals I can wear them all. The other benefit is they don't become a hassle to clean so you can avoid dust scratches. It's nothing compared to people's collections but still a long way from a single polished Juliet.

Furthermore, all of those shades are futureproofed...got a truckload of Juliet rubber, lenses (even OEM non custom cut ones for the PBI), and R1 rubber kits. So I can wear them as much as I want.
