My first two XM purchases

[Inkkoonce]

So I picked up my first X-Metal Romeo and Carbon Juliet this week. Both had only one owner and in pretty great condition except for the lenses. The Juliets are a little loose on the nose bridge but everything else was great. Not sure if I’ll keep the Juliets. They are a little small on me I think. Maybe someone will trade me a Badman for them? Anyway, I’m so happy I found this forum and you all have reignited my love for Oakleys.

Nice pick up glad you got your romeo. Don't trade that carbon juliet for a badman. The carbon is worth alot more in my opinion. No doubt you've had PM's already from the sharks

I wish I had a Badman to trade for that Juliet.

Agree with @Jase_nz

It was more like people thinking oh damn I can offload a badman

Is the Badmans hinge that bad? It looks like a sick pair of shades!

In my opinion yes they are bad. I've seen pairs for sale here for around usd 75 to 100 on Facebook market that have sat for a while. I'm sure this is controversial but I don't believe badman and madman to be x Metals . That carbon juliet on the other hand i think is special. I don't believe there was a large amount of them made with that serial.

You would regret that very soon.
Badman are build for a couple of years and only if you do not wear them. Real X-Metal are build for eternity.
Like I told you, the Juliet fits you perfect.

Congrats on the xmetals! I'm not sure what badman's are going for now but I definitely wouldn't trade straight up a juliet for one. You'll be able to move that juliet pretty easily.
