I don't think I've ever seen one of those, and especially not with box. GLWS.

PM replied. Still available.

In answer to the question about lens color, the lenses these came with and my OEM replacements look about the same. It may be that the previous owner replaced the 2001 lenses with newer ones, but I can't say.

Gold iridium, at least in its Juliet application, is one of those lenses that didn't change much over the years. Definitely not one of the flashy iridiums, but it's nice to look through.

One detail of these that is easy to overlook is how nice and sharp the edges of the orbital cuts are. And all the Tis I've seen are like that, the other finishes became more and more rounded off.

If I didn't have two pairs of Ti already I'd jump on these, they are one of the more hidden secrets of the Juliet range.

Beautiful. My Ti gold is one of my favorites.

Bump - anyone interested?

2nd bump at 96 hrs. Anyone after this rarity?!

Bump. And to add that for the replacement lenses, I have both the old and the new versions of Gold available (Oleo and pre-Oleo) and both BNIB. Your choice.
