I'm jealous of the previous generation and their X-Metals

They're no longer in stores due to a finite supply. ......they're also no longer making them. The production process was so expensive, that Lux decided to call it quits when they took over from Jim Jannard. Also, you may notice, there's less metal being used in their line-ups now.

They still use little tiny metal screws and stuff....right?

And I just heard a story about a person buying some lifestyle frame direct from Oakley and they put it on right out of the box and both earstems literally just fell right off the orbitals the clearances on the snap together components was so bad. So obviously you don't need any of that pesky metal and annoying screws to make a great frame.

I'm jealous of your X-metals.

Nyaaah, nyaaah, ny'h, nyaaah, nyaaah!

Seriously, they are becoming collectable (read "expensive"), but there is a good supply, and parts and lenses, both OEM and aftermarket are widely available.
Now is the time to rectify your past ignorance and,
BUY, BUY, BUY!!!
