....added! Do you still have the original box?
How about the lenses - do they have any stress cracks the Romeo was prone to or are they crack free?

Did not keep the box. Lenses are perfect, but they are factory replacements. I took them to the factory and they replaced the lenses and rubbers and I never wore them again.

Nice!! The etching is the correct, early font style which is less refined than later pairs which keeps them true to original....
Here is a pic of the later etching.

Thanks. I was wondering which ones I had. I'm not a collector of these. I just liked them when they came out and bought them, so I really don't know all the ins and outs about them. I have to wear my prescription Oakleys now.

Do you remember which year you had to replace the lenses and rubbers?

It was around '98, '99. They acted like I was the first one that it had happened to.
