Detonator Ion Plated/Red Chrome (best Oakley purchase I've ever made)

[kuromont]

Was running some errands this morning and decided to take a different route than I normally did getting home. Even as I'm waiting at the lights, I remember asking myself why I took this way because it was taking forever. Then see a little garage sale going on, and I hesitatingly stop. After a quick look, I find this disheveled beauty underneath a ton of old power cables. Couldn't believe it. Here's the kicker: the seller wanted $10. Couldn't get in my car fast enough. Took it out to a family friend who serviced it and replaced the battery, then polished and sanitized it up a little bit. Third picture on wrist is post-cleaning. Runs like new. So lucky as I've always wanted an Oakley watch but never wanted to shell out the insane prices some sellers want, and this beautiful colorway is in fantastic condition as well (even had the blue wrapper on it still). Don't think I'll ever be able to top this find.

Moral of the story: stop at that garage sale on the way home. Oakley Detonator in Ion/Red Chrome.

These polished Black finish was referred to as the stealth colorway which commanded a higher msrp than the honed or brushed finish cases.
