In the market for my first X metal frames, either Juliet or Penny. Was thinking Penny based on my asian face shape but theyre so much more expensive :')

Worst time to buy from Ebay you got better chances here after you meet the requirements.

thats the plan, do you have any thoughts on juliet vs penny for asian fit?

Penny seems to be the choice for Asian fit, but Juliet works great too, just need to find the right size nose bombs and temples

I can somewhat help with a photo. Penny's are indeed smaller but quite expensive in price. Juliets are much more common and are larger on faces. I have a huge melon head/face and Mars hurt me. Juliets are perfect for my face. Order from top to bottom, Mars, Penny, Half X, Juliet, and Romeo.

Thanks for the photo! the size difference does seem much more stark than I was imagining in my head. btw juliet and penny seeing them side by side. Given the eye jacket redux didnt fit wellwithout Flak nose bombs, do you think Juliet would fit with large size nose bombs or would you recommend save up and hunt for the penny?

It depends on your budget. If you want a pricier option go penny. If you are short on funds go juliet.
