X Metal Serial Number

[Lubynew]

On most X-Metals glasses and Time Bomb watches, there is a unique serial number which identifies the item. X-Metal glasses after around December 2004 do not have these numbers, but most out there do have them. Each number has a prefix which identifies the frame/lens color combo:

Is there way to use the serial number to figure into what year a pair is from?

not directly, but since it is possible to identify the generations you can narrow it down to a range... though I am not aware of when each model generation has been released but someone else might have this info or possibly it is burried somewhere on the forum

This post is great - was wondering what the text on the inside of the arm of my frames meant.

Looks like I have XP###### Plasma / Ice X-Metal XX

Oh that is even cooler. I have dug these frames out of the depths and looking to bring them back to life. They are not in terrible condition thankfully. Looks like they just need the bridge fix and new rubbers

Let me save you a lot of trouble by taking them of your hands.
