Hi,
I've been wearing Oakleys since I got my first Frogskins in 1991. Other than a couple of pairs of Ray Bans and a Maui Jim along the way, I've worn Oakleys the whole time (and concurrently with my Ray Bans and Maui Jims).
My all time favorites were the Hatchet Wires. I had two pair and both broke in the same place. This little crummy plastic piece in the hinge mechanism. Second favorites are Square Wire 2.0. I had two but lost one (only sunglasses I've lost in my entire life, I was so bummed). When they were scratched up I bought the last pair of replacement lenses from the Hollywood shop.
I still have a bunch of Oakleys, some never worn like the <edit, this might not be right: X-Men edition> Penny that Cyclops wore in the first or second movie, some well worn like an old pair of Juliets with a chip out of the lens where they saved me from losing an eye on my motorcycle.
That's about it!
edit: after posting, I don't think those Pennys were anything limited with X-men. I think it was the matte grey with Ruby lens or something. I do remember wearing them exactly once and they gave me a headache from the color so I put them back in the box and that was that.
Also I just found the Juliets I was mentioning and saw that I replaced the chipped green lenses with orange ones. It looks tight! Maybe I should wear them sometime...
