Juliet vs Badman - advice wanted

[kronin323]

Send the Juliets to x-man, forget about the badmans...

You would be a bad man if you chose the Badmans! Juliets! They might not be as valuable as they once were but they are far superior to anything in the current Oakley range! I was offered the same deal as you when they serviced and damn near nearly broke a pair of my Juliets! They offered me £340.00 credit with them. I already knew there was nothing in the sunglasses range that would even tempt me! Another vote for @THE X-MAN to work his magic.

Fix them juliet bro. Those last forever.
The cheap metals madman and badman suck anyways.

Like the others are saying; stay with the Juliets. If you want a Badman they are available at discount prices in lots of places anyway...

No, Badmans do not "suck". They unfortunately suffer from poor Oakley marketing (they're not xmetals) and unrealistic pricing (originally) but they are very nice in their own right. A few members have reported issues with them, sure, but there's many more (myself included) who haven't had any issues.

Regardless OP, in no way should you send your Juliets to Oakley in exchange for anything from their current lineup. As others have said, you can easily get your Juliets fixed up as good as new!

Hahahaha i don't want to push your buttons or try to offend or anything like that, but if you don't like the word suck i will give it another word "stink" i am so glad that you like em a lot, but for the majority they're
not so very good.

I had both... today, I only have the Juliet, I guess that says a lot.
BTW badmans are not that bad when you don't compare them to the old xmetals, they are an ok frame with great cover. My only complain is that the spring hinge tends to fail after a while

I thought you were going to ask a difficult question. There is no debate on this, get the real X Metals repaired by @THE X-MAN.

If you need lenses there are plenty of people on the forum exchange that can supply these.

I have both Badman and Juliet, I like the badman but they are very loose compared to a Juliet.
I would keep the juliet and still try on a pair of badman. They can be found very cheaply if you look around. I paid AUD $140 for mine which seems about right. The finish is nice, and hey are a much different look, but there is the spring hinge issue and IMHO they aren't in the same league as a Juliet. Get your Juliets repaired. I just recently had mine tuned up at the x-metal workshop in Aus and they rock now!

Thanks for sticking up for the little guy
