X-metal demographic question

Funny, I was just at that Round Rock Vault yesterday. Normally I would have worn an x-metal, actually started with a pair of Juliets but instead switched to my Tincan Carbons (no shelf whores). I guess I should have stuck with the Juliets... But really, I've worn x-metals to that Vault and others plenty of times in the past and get acknowledgment of the pair less than 50% of the time. And with staff turnover it's usually fresh faces.

Most don't recognise them because there's no obvious logo on them and they're too new to have ever seen any before!! I'm surprised it's as high as 50%!

I'm 60...... I have been collecting since the late 80's..... I have well over 100 pairs and about half are x-metals with most of those being Juliets. I am branching out into the Oakley Watch World now...... I also have a large collection of the Oakley Ducati line....

I find it odd that not many people in USA wear them in the wild despite Oakley and X-Metals have a bigger market & following than any other country.

I myself have spotted them several occassions on the street in random. Also saw a few pop up at O stores and vaults, and some on the news about drone racing.

I’m 39 from Spain. My first pair of Oakley were a zero 0.4 Black. Second, E wire titanium.I owned my first Juliet around ten years ago, may be one of the last pairs that were sold here at my local store

I'm 32 and have had several xmetals since I was 24 but.....vintage o-matter is better than xmetals.

36 - I've got one pair of the XX 24K's that I've had probably for 17 or 18 years now (planning on selling them here), but it has been literal years since I have seen a pair of X Metals in the wild.

36 and got my first pair at 18... to date short of being in an oakley store, sunglass hut, in my house, or in proximity of another OF member I have never seen anyone out in public wearing any x metal ever...
