re: What Juliets are these?

[cacatman]

Hi there.
I recently bought these Juliets second hand with no box. They are x metal in colour with what look like a dark reddish iridium lens.

They don't have a serial number on them (see third picture), and a strange indentation where the serial should be.

The first photo is in natural light on a cloudy day.

The second photo is under artificial "cold" LED light.

As far as I know, they haven't been resurfaced/resprayed.

Which model Juliets are these? And how can I tell if these are aftermarket lenses or original? I haven't

Thanks in advance.

that looks like x-metal finish. Remove 1 lens from the frame and post up pics of a close-up of the lens edge and we can help you determine if it's OEM or aftermarket

Casting marks (3rd pic) and either a 4th gen XM or refinish.

Is this ok?

He meant the actual edge of the lens, not the orbital

@Litos and @jdd32
The lenses have curved edges, so I assume they're original??

Those most definitely look OEM...

So, it's a 4th gen XM with ruby iridium?

I'm pretty good, but not good enough to know if it's a 4th gen...

I think the gen is dictated by the color...this one has a bit more yellow at the edge and since it doesn't have a serial, I "think" it's a 4th gen...

I'll let the experts come in here and correct me if I'm wrong...
