Trading REFINISHED X METAL Half X for Half X

[Username Hidden]

I have known @THE X-MAN to do this to frames in the past, for people who request it, if they wanted to keep the serial number after sandblasting and refinishing. But why on this frame? You got me.

I suppose it gives the frame some credence still. If you just refinished it and no Oakley markings i.e. Sku, some might think it is one of those metal fakes they have out there. Seen XX, Juliet's etc. More people in the know on here but, in the big bad world some people need that evidence they are genuine. Just my thoughts on it. I would preserve it as I would only sell an item like that on here because everyone knows how to check if it is real.
