Restore them!!!! And do yourself a favor, check with @jdd32 as well.
FWIW, I can't say enough good things about @jdd32!! He is fantastic to deal with and his work is exceptional! Seriously, I think my husband's R2's are better now than when they were brand new. jdd32 did a slightly larger than cut than the original lenses to give my husband some extra coverage and my husband could not be happier with them (he made sure the "POLARIZED" etching is still there any looks great). The joints are tight but still have the flex and comfort factor like they did when he first got them. One of the arms on my husband's pair had gotten bent, but you would never know it now. Also, jdd32 even had a custom serial number etched back into the arm (my husband had worn them so much that it had rubbed off). I have a pair of Juliets that I think may be making the trip to Australia sometime within the next year.
I'm sorry the ones you got didn't end up being as advertised, but if it makes you feel any better, I think my husband's pair prior to restoration might be worth looking at:
Need Some Advice on Romeo 2's
Let's just say that before I sent them to jdd32, I had no reservations about handing them to my 2 year old daughter to play with and my husband had long since written them off as a total loss.
I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow of the finished product with rubbers, etc.
I'm ready to send them to @THE X-MAN , seen your pics probably my pair is in worst condition: both arms are bended an where they are, there is a little discoloration to them, 1 icon is scratched, nose bridge very loose but not like yours before.
They'll turn like new once Mark will work on them, and I'm pretty sure about it looking at his completed works
Probably I'll ask to @jdd32 for the lenses because I can't find them, also 25 t-shocks that seems impossible to find!
