Traded XX Plasma/Polished Project

[Username Hidden]

Got this set locally, frame was originally Plasma but the previous owner decided to polish the frame for some unknown reason, you can see he tried a bit to hard and the serial’s first latter has faded a little (the X is very faded XP001027). Lenses are aftermarket blue (seem welleva), nose and temple rubber are decent, needs new esrsocks and gaskets. All screws work, mf bag, and old raised O case included (no box). Nose has a small dent in the front near the right rivet, nose is tight but was service with a pike or some shi..., so the back of the rivets are smashed (I’d service it to be honest)
Looking to get $400 shipped EMS (shipping got more expensive with Covid) to the US, I can send to Canada too but tracking gets weird once it leaves Mexico. I can ship to other countries but that is on your dime (must be insured).

Only trades interested in:
OO blue lenses for Juliet (Ichiro get bonus points)
R2 linegear NXT ice lenses
Old square wire 30mm

Here is where we need a GTFO emoji. Polishing a plasma XX?????

I know, I’m guessing he wanted a polished juliet look, or the plasma finish began to fail (plasma XX were very prone to finish fails). I’m still somewhat teiggered by it, but it does look cool, I thought about putting some Blue dillons on them but they fit better on my Tio

Juliet and xx nose are the same. I can't say if it could be fixed or not. Would have to try would be the only way to tell.

Do you think it needs a new nosebridge, or can that one be fixed? Is a Juliet nosebridge interchangeable with XX?

Yes it is

I didn’t know this, this is great for future “beat to hell” frames that I find every other month or so
