Romeo - Plasma Vs Titanium

[CigarAficionado]

Colors?

Both titanium frames. One had custom cut OEM blue iridium and the other had custom cut violet iridium

cool. the titanium gen1 is prob my fav color, but i wear the xmetal daily simply for the durability

Titanium gen 1 is my favorite color too!

That last part is false. Plasma has 2 gens as well... Gen1 is matte white "bone" color. Gen 2 plasma is more like gen2 titanium and thats where the most confusion happens.

maybe i'm wrong, but oakley never made plasma gen 1 on Romeos, only on Juliets

I thought there is only one plasma on the Romeo. But Brip knows what he's talking about. I have not the knowledge on this subject to doubt him.

* This is the first time i've found this on internet, but i still thinking this is a Titanium 1st Gen with Fire Iridium Lens

Plasma/Fire Romeo came out well after the first run X-Metal and Titanium, so first run Plasma Romeos began with second or third gen Plasma.

I have 3 plasma romeo frames. 2 are early versions which are more a matt silver when compared to the later 'A' suffixed version which appears more polished, but are not a 'bone' colour like the early Juliet plasma.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the one with the bone colored is the early titanium. Or am I wrong?

The bone colour was on the plasma frame featured on the early Juliet which unfortunately did wear easily. The XX ti02 has a simililar problem on its orbitals. You need not worry about wear or fading on any of the plasma Juliet frames but the early titanium colour way did suffer from this which was brownish in comparison. I will post photos next week if it helps.
