MVP Encoder Strike

Not exactly. The custom build takes you to just the standard Encoder Switch. More money, no MVP box, bag or etching and no color shifting paint. And NOT limited edition LOL.

Didn't mean it literally. Besides you could probably flip your custom pair for $$ like many others do and claim it a limited release or "prototype" that's why no box or custom bag.

Ummm so I don't have any other prizm sapphire pairs. I got two in case one was scratched and am going to return one. One looks more like deep water but the hue is rose. The other looks more like sapphire and the hue seems more bronze. Which is closer to sapphire, the right I'm assuming (non rose)?

Holy quality control Batman. Well DWP base is rose, so maybe a legit screw up.

Here's the encoder with another pair with deep water. So that kinda answers that. Deep water non polarized??! Lol

My sanctuary swirl Encoder lens looks very much like DWP from the outside and doesn’t look anything like sapphire or DWP looking through them. Got them directly from Oakley too.

Did you keep them or exchange them?

I also purchased 2 MVP Encoder Strikes. I was leaving one in the box and one to wear. When I saw @r3dh3r0 post I thought that yeah those lenses were more deep blue/purple like deep water. But what do my boxed pair looks like. I was hoping they are sapphire so I have both pairs. AND… they are. One pair looking more Deep Water and one pair more Sapphire.

The second pic includes a pair of Sutro Sapphire which still look more light blue than the MVP sapphire but I really do like these. Both lens colors have a unique look. In the right light the deep blue/purple look similar to another very old pair a have. (See last pic).

I wonder what the regular encoder sapphire lenses looks like? All the pics online look more light blue for sure.

I kept them. I think they look good from the outside and not bad to look through either.

My opinion the deep blue/purple are very unique. As much as I love the sapphire color the purple are keepers for me for sure!
