The above examples show one with Grey Base and the other later version with Amber Base.

How can you tell which one is older? I seem to recall Dann saying they used amber first and then grey in one of his reviews. (would also fit the description of amber: "Family: Old Lens")

I was assuming (wrongly perhaps), that the lenses were set in alphabetic/chronological order.

Thanks, mate. I've a nice polished frame that needs new lenses but I think these are too nice to use!!

I would use them if i were you. I stored bnib juliet lenses in the past and they just started peeling out of nowhere

I'm back to this again. Trying to check if i have blue or ice. I have 3 spare juliet lens and one looks like a regular ice but 2 looks like blue iridium. I really can't tell the difference when looking through them. Idk it's driving me nuts

Didn't old juliet ice lens look like blue iridium? With a bit of purple hue on them?

You should be able to tell if they are side by side. Just as you would if you had a set of ice up against some OO blue ichiros.
For lack of better description, Ice is a bit “duller” than blue. The blue’s have this more vibrant blue color that pops more. Blue’s will still have some purple as well.

The blue on the ice in my omatters look dull but the blue on my juliets look close to blue iridium idk why. Especially the ones from the bone plasma

So Ice lenses from late 90’s and 2000’s are definitely not as dull as ice from the last decade. Look at any ice lenses from flak or square wire the last few years and they are way duller than ice from the years of the Juliet’s. Certainly makes it harder to tell blue and ice apart.
