Oakley Beginner
Ultimately blessed and grateful to have acquired these absolute killer sunglasses, which was only a mere fantasy for me to just see one i.r.l (let alone OWN it.)
Acquired them on eBay for $850 (unserialized....) Might have gone overboard for these, but I was unaware of Oakley Forum trading until after I bought them.
Seller had specified them as 'New: Never Used' or something and upon receiving, the frames were in pristine condition.
- No scuffs
- No marks
- No dents
- No cosmetic wear whatsoever.
Held up pretty well for a pair originally purchased in 2001.
Lenses are 'Ruby' of course, but was never really a fan of them as it gave more of a 'Fire Iridium' tone to me.
I was taken aback by the Penny's size, as it did seem slightly smaller than what I'd expected (from reading product descriptions online). Sometimes they look small, sometimes they look just right on my face.
As an experienced X-Metal buyer, I already half-expected the nosebridge to be loose AF, and of course the rubber gaskets were disintegrating. Was not too pleased that the seller didn't mention about it. Had them sent to LG
for service after that (superbly done, thank you LG!)
After that, I took the liberty of swapping the lenses out with LG's Penny Red Mirror Polarized lenses and I think they look a fair bit more spectacular now.
