It is not a matching box. The color label box would have been 1st gen only.

too bad.

Original Romeos (1997)

Guys, I’ve had these Romeos since 1997, all original rubber, they’ve been tuned up by Oakley once or twice over the years. Interestingly, I bought them for only $150. I was at Sunrise Surf Shop (price tag pictured) in Atlantic Beach, FL. I was going to buy a $150 pair of O-Matter frames (not...

I’m starting this thread since we do not have a dedicated thread to the old school color labels that were on specific skus. My intention are the following:

1. Create a compiled master sku list for the skus that at one point were released with a color label. I believe I have the complete list but if anyone has seen other examples please do comment so I can update.
2. Identify the latest confirmed serial # released that offered a color label for each sku. The very first releases were the first ones (e.g. early serials) and then at serial number ### they switched to non-color labels. This is by far not complete and is in it's infancy. I will need input from other member’s collections and sightings to complete. In the mean time I am putting the latest serials I have seen at this point. I will update as more information comes in.
3. Provide examples of each label for informative purposes. I’ve taken some pictures from old threads so if anyone owns the pairs and wants them removed feel free to message me and I’ll remove it. Also, feel free to add pictures in the comments

By my count of confirmed color labels I have seen through various threads or I own, there is a total of 15 color label releases. @SiRacer420 has pointed out that there are two variations of sku’s 04-110 & 04-111. If anyone has seen any other examples of this, I would love to hear or even better see examples of it. Thank you all

-To my knowledge all the above Mars skus have color labels and were never released without a color label

Awesome thread! Good to see someone do this. Had lots of these boxes often with the wrong type of X-metal or non-matching serial pairs.
