Oakley Beginner
So I went and bought one!!! :blink:
I went to a sunglass shop yesterday, just to try on some stuff, not even hoping to come across an x-metal because they simply can't be found in my country. Immediately I went to the O section and started trying on some O-matter frames. Then I came across an Inmate (Ducati - must have been a leftover). I was surprised because it's a rare find here. When I tried them on, the employee finally spoke to me and said: "Don't you want to try the latest top of the line from Oakley? They're about to replace the Juliet." - I thought to myself "this should be good", given the amount of knowledge sunglass shop employees usually have about Oakleys around here. Much to my surprise, there they were, behind the counter like a pair of renegades. Poor things!... A Pit Boss (the real surprise of the day but the thread isn't about them ) and a Ducati X Squared... Immediately, I started to salivate... They were the last pair out of three and were 20% off (which made them come down to about 290€). "Jesus Christ" was the first thing that came to my mind at that point. After much hesitation I just had to buy them. My wallet bellowed with pain... So... Here they are (bad pics though, sorry, my camera is a piece of crap):
On to the not so happy part. I thought it was strange the guy telling me that the X-Squared were to replace the Juliet, so, as if I didn't hear that part, I asked him about them. His answer was that they didn't have them any more and couldn't even order more because Oakley was going to discontinue them? Wierd, I thought. Then again, like I said, people don't know much about Oakley around here, so I took it with a grain of salt.
