Repairing my first pair of Polished Oakley's Blue Iridium X Metal nose bridge

[davil]

I joined the forum 4 months ago looking for a pair of Oakley's and I just got my first pair of Oakley's ever. I went through the process of trying to fix the nose bridge since they're over 21 year old and the rubber has since deteriorate. Took some photos of the process, I didn't have any of the proper hardware so I just used a hammer and metal rod lol.

I love them so much.

Fair play Fella, Using a Bullet casing to support the frame shows a certain sense of Style! Guess you must be a Stateside Member......

Going to need to be Careful pushing that in back in, Not to mark the front of the Nosebridge although as it's a Polished Frame you can Polish any (lightish) marks out.....

JK I did the same with my first pair, a few years ago. I was nervous as heck that I would bust them up.

I'm just glad you were smart enough to use a casing that is not loaded!

I say cut the guy some slack. I commend those that are willing to try things on their own. Those of us that work on X-metals all had a first time.

Agreed Rob. However if we does Mess up knowing he can get them fixed up for reasonable money he will be the first one to bemoan the fact he didnt in the 1st place.

Plus an old(ish) thread that hasn’t been updated by the OP with the finished article…….
