Gauge 8 Polarized Lens w "Prizm" Etching Only

[adamsapple19]

After looking at my Gauge 8s (Prizm Sapphire Polarized) which I've had for a while now, I noticed the lens says only "Prizm" etched in the lower left lens, instead of "Prizm P".

I'm confident these are polarized (the LED test, usage) but the Oakley website even shows these with "Prizm P" etched into the lens (per screenshot).

Was just wondering if anyone has a pair like this, if it's common, uncommon, etc - and also why the "P" isn't etched in after "Prizm".

Any feedback appreciated.

I guess they first question I'd ask is where did you get them. That box label looks weird AF...

So, depending on the age they may not have the P etched. Lux, in their infinite wisdom, didn't etch a polarized indicator on the lenses for about the first year of the "Prizm" release. This was a terrible idea and caused alot of confusion until they figured out most people won't know how to check them and sale staff had a hard time selling polarized. Then they started adding the P. All the artwork has been updated since then.

I'm not sure where the gauge 8 falls in that time line, but it's a possibility.
