🦘Romeo 1 Jordan Information Page - At least 11 differences from a normal R1

Also because of the different shaped orbitals on the 4-digit Romeos, Eyejacket 1.0 lenses will fit directly in with no modifications necessary. Also note that all other Romeo lenses from the 6-digit frames are too large to fit.

I don’t have a recent picture but I assure you that unmarked t-shox are the right ones

Not at all doubting you, mate - always good to learn!

I admit I’ve never try this switch with Eyejacket 1.0 lenses, now you lunch a small challenge to try them, haha

Thanks you guys! Updated.....

So many more differences that I had no idea about.

• Around 100 pieces were delivered with XL X-metal metal vault (with or without inscription) (@Cody Oslo)
• Nose bombs have smaller size than the normal R1 (@Cody Oslo)
• Weight of these frames may be less (at least for the first hundred). Apparently the Titanium alloy was different in the beginning and consequently, they were lighter (@Cody Oslo)
• The orbitals size are smaller then the regular 6 digit serialled Romeos (@Cody Oslo). Therefore eye jacket 1.0 lenses could be substituted into Jordans due to the smaller size (@gpstar)
• Temple shocks from early Jordans have NO markings at all (@Cody Oslo)
• Temple shocks from some of the versions released have a different font (@mjt42)

Was the X Metal vault different in any way from the standard XL X Metal vaults? I only ask because the R1 Jordan I bought came with an XL vault, the guy I bought it from said the vault came with the frame when he bought it. Unfortunately, he didn't keep the original packaging.

The early ones came with a HUGE oversized vault.
Does yours have ten rivets across the width?
Maybe post a pic?

No, nothing like that, just a standard looking XL vault.

Oh Baby, the grail of all grails, (at least for me).

Minty as they come, lenses have been removed for preservation.

Hope @Nucchem is ok with me linking his grail thread to show his XL R1 vault .. it’s incredible

This is how XL Xmetal Vault looks like
