Newby with Oakley Juliet X-Metal sunglasses

[Maveryq13]

Thanks! How should i clean them? Or better do nothing cause i think i will sell them

The box: It's cardboard, so I would be very delicate with it. I've had luck with a very slightly damp cloth and wiping it down.
The glasses: The rubber may be too far gone (sticky/tacky), but I would try some dish soap. I wet the glasses, lather my hands with dish soap, then massage all parts of the glasses; lenses, rubbers, skin contact points of the frame. Pat dry with a soft cloth, then let sit in open air so all the crevasses can dry. Use a microfiber for the lenses after completely dry to touch up any smudges.

Thanks for the advice! I will try it soon!

Keep them. That’s Oakley history right there.

Maybe you are right but as you see, they are not getting better. Rubber is already sticky.

Rubbers can be replaced as well as lenses. Oakley stuff is expensive, yes. But there are aftermarket companies that cater to X-metals and they’re not bad. I use Linegear rubbers and lenses a lot.

@Linegear Japan rocks. More than happy to be a spokesperson and model if they want to sponsor me

Welcome

But maybe some of the experts here could tell me which price range would be fair for this complete set for a real Oakley Fan and not such a f..ing noob like me, who normally wears Aviator sunglasses (i‘m sorry for..)

Nothing wrong with aviators. Randolph Engineering is among my top sunglasses; they make the best aviator in my opinion.

Juliets have gone up over the years. I've seen them in the $300 range. You could definitely ask more since they have a box with matching S/N.

Check the completed listings on eBay, and keep your eye on the sales posts on here and you'll get an idea of what people are willing to pay.
