Romeo 1 Legit Check

[dlo20]

Hey guys,

I recently acquired these Romeo 1's. I believe they're legit, but since I'm not 100% sure, I figured I'd ask the experts. I only have the sunglasses, no box, coin, or documentation. They only have the nosebombs as the earsocks they came with were aftermarket and crappy so I took them off. Thanks in advance for your help!

They are the real deal!
Ti frame with Gold iridium lenses. They look super-clean. Ti finish usually suffers from the coating coming off, particularly around the face contact points. My guess would be that they have hardly been worn....
Are the lenses free of stress cracks at the upper orbital joint?

Yep those are clean! please refrain from not putting the temple shocks in though, if the stems are warped you may be scratching up the finish. but yeah legit.

Nice pick up, that's my favorite finish with R1s

Very nice. The gold iridium lenses are an old favorite of mine.

The lenses do have some minor scratches and there is one stress crack on one of the lenses, but they're in ok condition overall. I have some linegear rubbers on the way to replace the missing ones.

Appreciate the help and info everyone. Thanks! Happy to have my first pair of R1's!

Congrats on the purchase. Hard to tell because of the lighting, but considering the fact that the lenses appear to be gold iridium, I'm assuming it's Titanium finish, right?

Thanks! Yes, these are the titanium finish. They're almost like a light tan color in person.
