Hey everyone! I've been lurking for a while and have found this site to be an incredible source of information for Oakley products.
My husband has a pair of Romeo 2's (Carbon and Black Iridium Polarized combo) that he dearly loves and has worn daily for almost 10 years. We've sent them back to Oakley once for new lenses and a tune up. They are in dire need of both again now. Also, one of the arms is a little bent. They're basically unwearable and if I posted pictures you would probably throw me off the forums because the pictures would haunt your nightmares for weeks afterwards.
Nevertheless, I'd like to try and restore these as a surprise for Father's Day.
Oakley said they can do a partial tune up for $65 (basically just tighten the nose bridge back up, but not straighten the arm). Is this worth it? Or can someone else do the same thing for less?
I have an extra set of nose pads and temple shocks, but I need ear socks and lenses. I know I'm on a hunt for a pair of unicorns here, but do any of you have any suggestions for ear socks?
For lenses, it sounds like Line Gear is the best non Oakley bet. I'm super picky and would only want OEM lenses, even if they were custom cut. But I don't know that he is as picky. I do know that he would want either black or blue/purple, and polarized is a must. Is anyone still doing custom cut lenses for these? Or is there an ebay seller, whatever that you would recommend?
Thanks so much!
