8) What would be your dream pair - if you could ask Oakley to make a signature model for you?
~ Romeo 3.0

haha with the way the romeo2.0 went... im afraid of what they'll do to a 3.0...

Oh! Haha thanks. I actually don't collect those . I had a pair of Juliet's for awhile, but they never fit me that well. I think it's because I'm Asian...but yeah. I am planning on picking up some Half X's though. I know a lot of people don't like the Half X, but I think they're pretty sweet and the larger nose bombs help! It's weird...my Oakley collection first started with just Wireframes. Now I'm all about the O Matter.

Edit: I think the reason my GF doesn't wear her Oakley's as much is because of the Lens. Encounter has the Tortoise with Polarized Bronze, and the Encounter is some sort of black with a grey gradient. She's picky haha

Aw shame! well the HalfX is on its way to me, a review would be nice! Props for supporting the Asian fit, not many rock them but the knowledge should get out there. Im asian too (incase you havent noticed from my profile pic haha) but I fit most frames pretty well (large nosebombs usually required though). The Juliets were my daily pair till i got the romeo1's..

Re the female frames, Haha! yeah those arent the best lenses.. maybe get her some replacement Ruby iridium or Emerald lenses.. may just turn her around yet The tortoise would rock if it had gold iridium lenses too

my double wide display case that i got for $180

Wow that is quite a deal. I saw a small metal case and a large 6' single case up on craigslist for $175 and $250 respectively. Unfortunately, they were gone within 24 hours.

 

[Oakley4Life]

yeah, i actually found mine on CL too. but the second i saw it, i called up the guy and told him i would be there tomorrow and sure enough it was in my room the next day

 

[Zax]

Haha very nice! I feel like I should've jumped on that single wide case. It was that or the Tron Gascan's. As a new collector, that was a difficult decision
