Oakley Romeo 1 - Help

[Steven55124]

I appreciate any and all advice. I have a pair of Oakley Romeo 1's. One lens is in bad shape. The lens with “X-Metal” is pretty good. Question, should I replace the lenses with aftermarket lenses or sell them and get a new pair of Barman’s? I haven’t worn them in a few years. Last question, is there a place I can send them in to have new lenses installed and the frame tuned up? One of the screws is loose. Thanks.

Don’t sell them and buy a badman, buy replacement OEM custom cut lenses from @Chris A Hardaway, then go online and buy a T6 wiha torx tool and tighten them up yourself.

If you are going to sell for a Badman, make sure to get in touch with me first!!

Seriously, you will be far better off bringing these back up to useable condition. No matter where you are, someone can help. You may find it's quite easy to service a Romeo yourself...

@Linegear Japan should carry all the rubber parts you'll need, and as @Jmgarcia says a wiha beans t6 torx driver w the red end cap will help you tighten everything down. Now you just need lenses! I sell them here in the exchange and on eBay.

Highly recommend keeping them!
After new lenses and rubbers they will feel brand new again.

If you want to change the finish, there are several customizers on the forum that do incredible work.

As the other member had posted, you can contact Chris for an OEM lens. I bought few of his work on Ebay and the craftmanship is superb. You will not find the “xmetal “ etching though. And the t6 driver of course.

Sell them and buy 3 Badmans. Or just one Badman then use the rest of the money to drink away your depression having bought a Badman.

I bought 2 badman's myself . First was the Ducati version. The arms broke within a few weeks. I bought another pair with Sapphire lens and the arms broke too after a month. So be careful with those new badmans as I heard the arms are their Achilles heels!!
