Oakley Juliet Guide - The 9 OEM Juliet frame finishes

[CarGuy]

I have found indeed that mine are first gen and they are called "gold titanium x-metal"

Don't confuse the frame finish "titanium" with the titanium alloy that these were cast from. All Juliets are cast from titanium alloy then coated with their respective finishes; brown, 24K, carbon, plasma, et al.
How did you come to this conclusion? Those lenses in your pic that appear ruby are not the original gold and the Titaniums had brown (root beer) rubbers as opposed to black- that's a good tell.
What color are the rubbers and what is the serial on the left arm? A pair with personality like those are surely serialized.
Lastly, why would you not wear them? If they are titanium/gold the hardest parts to replace are already absent- the gold lenses.
They made tens of thousands of titanium/gold across two releases so they are not collectible enough to relegate to life on a shelf, especially given the fact that they are missing the lenses and I'm assuming the original box also.
Wear them and enjoy them! They had to have made roughly a MILLION Juliets across all colorways and releases.

Yeah like others have mentioned I'm curious how you came to that conclusion; did you follow my advice about looking for a maybe-faded serial or was it something else?

That can be taken care of - there are several members on the forum who can restore them to as new condition.

Zach can fix you up. See here.

Some of the work I've done.

A couple weeks ago I started messing around with learning how to anodize titanium and figured I'd give it a go on a set of polished frame juliets I have. Settled on a purple blue color for the time being. The whole frame was polished at first but decided on doing polished nosebridge and polished...

I genuinely didn't know that the Juliet had nine finishes. Handy thread for reference!

There is actually 11 if you add the 1st gen bone plasm to the shinier plasma and the second gen titanium is more of a later gen plasma
