That part I didn't ask. But with Oakley it could change. Look at rust decay

I know that part, but that's 650 retail hahahahahahah the metal vault on that one is bad ass, but that's about it, lets be realistic lets just say its 400 retail as it its I know it will come with those generic boxes if quality wise is the same as the old x metals it wont be much of a profit there?. so I know on that price range its 50 plastic 50 metal. The new lenses intrigues me the most PRIZM I believe I know those would be awesome.

And $400 US pricing

I would be fine with $400. I hope these don't go past that, I don't want to destroy my bank account!

so im right then half plastic half metal not same quality as the x metal of old . I knew it wont be all metal as the bridge making it omatter and earstems allows some flexing im giving it a MEH right now ill still check it out but wont be over excited about it. I am a fan of Oakley but not a by any means a FANATIC if this release sucks ill just collect a few more xmetal pieces I want then call it quits..

Wouldn't be the first time where the UK price is just the US price with the currency symbols swapped either, so that would tie in with the price that was shown.
