Welcome to M Experiments Releases and Rumors

[Kudosia]

Like I said... it was not all aimed at you but more at the whole conversation that has occurred on two different threads now. Take what is applicable to you and leave the rest behind...

Its good to discuss different opinions, you’ll always be the first dude that gained my respect and love on here regardless

 

[Kannibal]

I hope you bought all of those… cause you will never see that money again…

Most.....um, as with most things we buy...we dont see that money again. Esp consumables like sunglasses. But thanks for the financial advice

(Though I'm sure in 30yrs MEXPERIMENTs 40 colors of wayfarer copies will be thru the roof in price)

The ability to discuss things without insult and offense has become rare in this world... it is a virtue that you are able to end with your opinions in tact and I am as well. I appreciate that! The recent attacks on MEx for being slow to move out new stuff has just gotten kinda silly. I wish everyone would just say "hey, its not for me" and be glad for the guy who says "this is for me" and we all collect what we want and not collect what we do not want. Sounds simple enough but for some folks it is not... they must put down others to feel good about their own decisions. Truly a sign of weakness. See @Kannibal above for an excellent example of this.

You have my respects friend!

 

[Resident Alien]

yep let’s all agree on our opinions. Some will like them, others won’t. Looking forward to more diverse frames but enjoying the ride so far!

Took Oakley how long to reproduce the Sub Zero....... Oh yeah 30 years and basically paid the same amount as I did on my very first pairs 30 years ago as what I did in 2022.

I am all for the love of both companies, but respectfully at this very moment Oakley is not hitting the mark on a lot of designs that personally should reflect my feelings towards them, I finally tried on a Sphaera and a Lateralis on the weekend, yes they felt comfortable and looked ok, but there is a big BUT the supposed o-matter frames now feel very cheap and hard to the point it almost feels like they would snap like a twig.

For them to be bringing back some of the older designs is a bit of a blessing, bring on the Tailend and was super stoked to get the Brain-dead Mumbo/hybrid collab, there has been more misses than I could count to what has been offered, Muzm Mars was a turning point were unatainability came into play, yes not original from 30 years ago but price well past what a normal person could afford.

M-Experiment is fresh and new, yes they have all the experience behind them, but would they really dare risking it all to go all out and then not have people buy what is on offer.

Remember the Frogskins were Oakley's bread and butter for a long time and how many variations are out there in the wild and are also still being sold.

Nothing but variety for everyones liking and or tastes

Give them some time, give them a little space, enjoy the fun ride, wear their glasses on ya face.

((V)) is supremely based in every single way. I love everything about the company. The last O product that really caught my eye where I had to have 'em was XEUS. And even then, the nosebombs mess with my FOV which is utterly terrible - there's no getting used to it. Still, the last great pair (and best) IMO was the PitBoss. Though I actually really liked the Eye Jacket Redux in Corten with 24k lenses. Perhaps those are the last great frames IMO (but not best). I noticed that the 24k lenses are highly inconsistent with their color, as I purchased multiple replacement lenses for my Redux directly from O and they all have a noticeably different shade. Other O's I've purchased in recent times have all been returned. Poor fit, scratches on lenses, hinges shot, other defects on arrival. I've pretty much given up on 'em at this point. I'm all-in on ((V)).

I just bought my first M experiment pair, and collected Xmetals from Oakleys. It is ok to like both. Not everyone has to pick sides and be loyal to one brand.

I actually kind of wish M-Experiment kicked off the day that Jim was dethroned by Lux, you could just imagine what we would have today if this was the case and where it was going into the future. I would have jumped ships a long time ago.
Give it 30 years and my collection will probably be up for sale if I can hold off that long

Can you wait for me to win the lottery before you sell?

Me too, I'm still waiting for that windfall
