All XX models had the hammerstem...on the Juliet ALL polished variants carried the hammerstem and one mega rare Carbon Ichiro that was produced for only 3 months. As of today, only the polished with fire polarized is produced stock with hammerstems...any other variants are custom builds. And to answer the question of "why hammerstems only on polished frames" its because the polished frames were originally designed specifically for the Ichiro editions at his request so that carried over to other polished models to this day.
I looked at the site last night and they've updated everything and now the polished Juliet seems to be devoid of the hammerstems.
You would be correct. Well....glad I purchased my Polished model last month; every hammerstem polished frame became a collectors item. Another boneheaded decision to add to the long list of them made since 2006-2007 and another sucker punch too the X-Metal line.
