Why falling XMetal prices are bad.

Is there a website link??

Web.archive.org

Also known as the wayback machine. I got those images years ago but the one you’re asking about I got from an archive of the Oakley site from March 2, 1997

it's not easy to navigate but here is the actual area where that image can be found (under the performance tab). You can tab around and check out how terrible websites were back then lol

X Metal: Innovation

This is a screenshot from Oakley.com in 97 when the Romeo came out. Notice how it mentions x metals are “all-metal” frames. It then describes how x metal is a combination of 5 metals heated at 3000 degrees.

Meaning, anything else is just a fauX-Metal

I actually ran a mass spec analysis on some Juliet's. Its a standard grade Ti used in most industrial applications, where Ti is used. Nothing special about the titanium, its all about the design.

Yes I remember your analysis and I don’t disagree. However, the bad man/madman weren’t made of anything remotely close to the materials and process Oakley described. I guarantee the O-matter in those fauX-Metals weren’t heated to 3000 degrees

Not so abundant in sunglasses, though.
