Original M Frame with Black Iridium Heaters. But the story is better.
I think it was around 1993 when my friend's dad flew in from Ohio and we picked him up at the airport. I had never seen anyone in person wearing Oakleys before (just athletes on TV), and he had the M-Frames. I thought they looked ultra cool and told him so. He passed away nine months later from cancer. When my friend got back from the funeral and sorting out his dad's estate, he gave me a shoe box. Inside was the same pair of glasses I complimented him for, some lens cleaner and a handwritten note from his dad to me, dated a few days after he'd flown home from his visit. The note said he had a great time during his visit and that if I was reading it, it meant he'd "gone on," as he put it, and that the glasses were mine now. I don't have that pair anymore because it broke, but Oakley sent me a free replacement frame the first time (with the "O," instead of Oakley icon) and then when they broke one more time, I paid $50 to Oakley for a new frame. So, I still have the descendant of that gift. Even thought it isn't the exact frame I was given, it still means a lot to me. I met this man once, spent a few days with him and his son over a week, made ONE comment about his glasses and he went home and immediately decided to pass them on to me.

), another pair of XX frames, I'm still waiting to arrive, should be here any day now, and, thanks to another Incredibly Awesome member here, a pair of Mars, that are "Out for delivery" as I type this! Once I recieve the Mars, and XX's I'll only have 6 current pair, which is not many compared to most of you guys, but that's ok by me! I only need a few to rotate anyway! Eventually, I plan on owning at least 1 example of each of the original X-metals......Man! I love this sport!!!
