Frame, I would rate at 8/10. No scratches that I can see apart from some fine ones that tend to happen with a polished frame, none which are visible unless close inspection. Earstems sit dead level. Rubbers are 8.5/10 - OEM.
Nosebridge is just as tight as the day I had it tuned by @zwc0442. I would rate it at 9/10 due to the fact it has been worn. In full disclosure, I did not make them X-MAN tight - I instead chose a tune-up that would result in an OEM level of tightness. So, it's factory tight but not X-MAN tight. The level of tightness has not degraded and should not degrade due to the compound Zwc uses.
Lenses, I would rate at 8/10. -1 for being mounted and -1 for a single light iridium scratch located on the left lens on the top fan blade (see reflection). This is the only imperfection I could find and had to try very hard to capture it on camera. It is extremely hard to find.
Bonuses in sale:
- Revant Elite Fire Red Mirrorshield. These have been mounted, but in 9/10 condition. I have deducted a point, because I mounted them to see how they would look in the frame. No scratches.
- OEM Microfiber Bag
- Juliet coin (7/10, some light scratches from display, visible in the pictures)
- Original Fire Iridum Polarized lenses (trashed - good for display only)
Price: $SOLD G&S OBO
My grading criteria:
Lens Scratches:
- I subtract points based on usage. Once something is worn, it is no longer in 10/10 condition, so I subtract a point accordingly.
- Any iridium scratches that are not visible, except under extreme light, I subtract a point.
- Any visible scratches, when holding the lens up to light - I subtract a point.
- Any visible scratches, when holding the lens up to a light that are within the line of sight, I subtract two points.
- Deep scratches that are on the lens and within line of sight, the lens automatically gets a 5/10 and then is reduced accordingly in the order of above grading criteria.
- Deep scratches that are on the lens and within line of sight, the lens baseline automatically gets a 7/10 and then is reduced in order of above grading criteria.
Frame Scratches:
- Fine scratches receive a -1 on a polished finish (you can't avoid them). On any other finish, they get a -1.5.
- Earstems not level is a -2.
- Chips in the frame is -3.
- Once a frame is worn, it automatically receives -1 due to not being deadstock anymore. 10/10 is BNIB for me. 9/10 is a LNIB. The two are not interchangeable.
