Don’t see any way of avoiding it TBHUnfortunately probably the most delicate part of the ceramic coating where a removable object can cause failure

Man now I don't want to change lenses. Gigawatt seems to be easier to replace than a Jigawatt.
Those photos were macro shots. You can’t really see the damage with your naked eye unless you flip ‘em upside-down and look very closely - but not gonna lie - I’m a little butthurt over it. Shouldn’t complain though ‘cause I got three of the Jigs. #47 (DJT edition) is all-gold now, and will remain so. #06 and #18 will remain stock.
Question is that eventually, with use, one will need to replace the lenses. Perhaps even with time alone. One of my pairs of original VR28 Black Iridium Polarized Oakley lenses for PitBoss II - mostly sitting brand new in the box - ‘delaminated?’ I had to replace ‘em. Not sure which coating does that - perhaps Polarized? These LE Cerakote Gold editions aren’t Polarized, so who knows.
By then, we’ll be balls deep in the editions of the future. Still, though. I LOVE this Gold Cerakote. By far my favorite LE to date. I’m all about it - Black & Gold is my favorite color combo for everything. I wonder if they’d sell me a touch-up vial of color-matched Cerakote so I can fix it. That’d be a pretty big ask, so I’ll just suck it up.

He is a master. But nah, it isn’t such a big deal. But a valid concern if or when one decides - or needs - to change the lenses.

If we all scrape em nobody is weird! Hahahaa
Naw, like I said, the chips you saw in my photos were macro shots. Your business pair was a bit of a different story. Sticks out like a sore thumb, so that was warranted IMO. How are they gonna fix ‘em, do you know? I ain’t touchin’ ’em again unless I need to!If this is gonna be common i feel like SUCH a Karen

Yeah. It makes sense because it’s LE I guess but the matte army and sand/ blazins s**t you can damage and have fun with is cool to me. I don’t like feeling like I gotta babysit stuff I’m wearing
