Were those the original lens for that particular pair? Are those violet Ir.? Stunning combination.
I ask as I noticed your name.
There seem to be a few one off Xmetals out there. Or damn close to one off.

Original leneses are VR 28's that i have but scratched. I have a cut set of vr's that are in them now. Those are Blue Iridium lenses from a M Frame i think.

Yep the purple and blues are rare as hell also

2. Again subjective. I wouldn’t pay any more for C000099 than I would for C001234. But I would pay a lot more for C000420. Greedy people will know that and take advantage of it.

Like this, you mean?

The label in the original post looks like the ones Vaults use when the original is damaged or shouldn’t be used (e.g. when it changes to be a discontinued line). Conceivable that Head Office might use something similar for a warranty return.

I’d expect a carbon Ducati to have a picture label and an x-metal to have the standard barcode label.

He’s seen that I have that one before, on the Finito owners thread, it’s only a little bit mean!

Yes I presume it was the latter then as I purchased them from Vision Express in the UK so presume they would have had a "normal" label but I can't remember if the label / box had been changed.
