Gold Iridium And 24k

[kamikazestory]

does anyone have a gold iridium and 24k lenses next to each other?
in most website pictures they look the same but i was pretty sure the gold color was much more see-thru
just wanted to see them side by side.

dont know what you mean by see thru, but they both have iridium coating so is like a mirror effect.

24k are much more reflective than Gold iridium. In certain conditions/light angels you will be able to see the wearers eyes if they have Gold iridium. In my SW 24ks I don't think they are see through at all in any light condition.

Are they both the same lens base color?

I can show pics later the gold are way less reflective, way more subtle lense.

yeah the 24ks are way more reflective than the gold iridium. i would snap a pic for ya as comparison but it's nightfall over here by now. so gonna be a tad tough with bad/artificial lighting.

the base tints are different..

iridium wise 24k looks more like bright gold- think of a really yellowish fire iridium.

gold iridium is more subtle, dark browny gold. more vintage and sophisticated imo.

yeah sorry i should've worded it a little better.
i wanted to see how much more reflective the 24k was next to the gold.
judging by the pictures online, they look very similar although i know that the 24k is alot more reflective. just wanted to see if it was a huge difference.

 

[AtmosPlease?]

Night and day the lenses don't look very similar at all imo

Gold is bronze with an iridium coating, much more dark brown.

24K is an orange/persimmon base I think, with a gold iridium coating. Makes the mirror effect brighter and more brilliant.
