What is your lowest serial Romeo1 Plasma frame?

For Romeos, there are 2 types of titanium finishes, but only 1 plasma finish.

The first gen titanium finish (commonly called the bone finish) have the matte light grey finish. The second gen titanium finish have the shiny look very similar to the plasma finish, but there is a slight difference. The plasma has a slight gold/yellowish shine on the finish compared to the second gen titanium finish which is more silver like. The second gen shiny titanium finished started at around the x60000 serial numbers. Then they switched them to a A serial afterwards. The same thing happened to the plasmas which also got a A serial at the end eventually (though the finishes remained the same for those)

I have no idea which one is more rare.

I like the first gen ti more, but you need to be careful with the finishes on them as they are prone to blackening. The second gen ti finish does not have that problem.
 
Nowadays it’s very hard to find untouched pairs of R1 1st gen Ti (bone)

So true. I wish that mine had the matching box, but they were and are still mint Gen1. So I felt really fortunate to be able to grab my pair when I did. It's probably the most beautiful finish of all my XM to just stare at. These are the best pics I can get and they still don't do the Gen1 finish justice to how they look in person.
