They look great no doubt I've got a pair of violets in hand. Too bad @Chris A Hardaway isn't reachable with his skillset. Nice photo, thanks.

Ya, I'm sort of a people pleaser. Do you remember that @rzurzel
Hehe. I really don't want to mess with the big taco donors anymore. Getting the flat spot perfectly split with my Briot edger is unpredictable/inconsistent. So I'm only batting like .750, I like 1.00 in most cases
So now I hear plaintiff lenses work! I see some emerald on sale Oakley.com
I wonder who will let me borrow their OTT!?
Sounds like an easy job, no brainer. My inexperience with this particular frame makes me less of an expert on this one.
But orientation does matter. That I know. The prism must measure base in. So for example if right lens was switched to left side optics would be fine IF it was rotated exactly 180 degrees. Think about that for a minute!

Oh yeah I remember. I'll be probably asking you for forwarding me similar package somewhere in july for my wife's birthday

You gonna turn into a purple people eater if you keep this up @Dnkeyhnter
Lol! I'm glad you are happy and you still have the OEM black iridium if you ever get sick of them!

I had a feeling I've seen you somewhere before @Dnkeyhnter

Getting back to the original topic of lens orientation in Over The Top frames, I just looked at a FMJ OTT with black iridium lenses. Supposedly the lenses hadn't been touched since the frame was new.
In this OTT frame the lens orientation was:
left lens: bump in upper outer (ear-side) quadrant;
right lens: bump in lower inner (nose-side) quadrant.

In the other frame I looked at, a matte black OTT with ruby iridium lenses, both lenses had the bump in the upper outer quadrant. Here's a throwback link to my original post about this frame's lens orientation:
OTT Lens orientation

Although the two frames have the lenses mounted with different orientations, at least they agree on which lens is left and which is right.

In other words there is no left and right OTT OEM lens, just a 45 degree rotation?
edit: 180 degress-ish

Hmmm... still a bit of confusion. Lol. @Sun & Sand is a very technical person so I def trust his. I just don't trust it was never touched lol. I still think there is a right and left lens. Not a 45 degree rotation period my guess would be that one of the lenses was rotated 180 degrees more likely. I'm a get my hands on another Ott here soon. I will check the prism alignment in both eyes to tell which one is left and which one is right. More to updates come.

The lenses are oval, so, as long as you keep the iridium facing outwards, there are only two orientations to choose from when mounting a lens in a given orbital. But you can mount each lens in either orbital.
The orientations of the lenses in the two frames I examined are consistent with the possibility that Oakley may have intended one lens to be a right lens and the other to be a left lens. However, others posting to this thread have found lens orientations different than the ones I saw, so the situation is unclear.
We are relying on the skill of @Chris A Hardaway to provide definitive answers once he gets a chance to examine an OTT and its lenses in detail! ... No pressure ...
