OEM Romeo lenses

[AWD50]

Hi, I have a pair of Romeo x metal sunglasses, they are obsolete now and Oakley cannot help me. The original lenses got cracked several years ago but never repaired. Now my problem is finding new old lenses because these glasses are extremely expensive to replace and for mine to be perfect again I need the real thing. Has anybody got any ideas finding Black Iridium lenses in perfect condition. I know they have been about nearly 25 years but OEM must still be out there.
Thanks
Andrew

They do exist,but if you plan on wearing them I'd just get a nice replacement lens.

Been sorting out my sunglasses and rediscovered what I think are Romeo 1s from c1998. Are those suitable lenses and where can one find them?

OEM original new Romeo lenses will run you a pretty penny.
New rubber kits and replacement lenses that are custom cut from Oakley lenses are available
In the exchange once you have access.

Lols, yes…

I bought these in Cape Town in about 1998, wore them skiing etc the over the years and then they migrated to a cupboard. Clearly not f I had an inkling they would be worth anything I might have kept the packaging…. Hindsight is a wonderful thing…

Also have a pair of Oakley Bottle Rockets that the lens did similar to that I also need new lenses for but at least I think Oakley provides oem replacements. What’s really annoying is that I’m anal about looking after my sunglasses otherwise compared to the rest of the family, only ever use proper cleaning cloths, never get scratched etc.
