Oakley Penny

[Gvscon]

hey guys!
I’ve heard that penny fits better for the smaller faces. I got my first Juliet pair on the way to me, but would also appreciate some info about the usual prices for Pennys.
Because I’m located in Europe and I got only two options at the moment:
Penny polished with box and coin 759€
Penny titanium vr28 with coin 600€

I’d like to hear if it’s normal price for them?
Because I got myself Juliet’s plasma ice iridium with the coin and the bag for 275€.

Thanks in advance!

Expect around $500-600, depending on condition of frame, condition of lenses, and extras such as box, coin, etc.. You could find some cheaper than that. Not gonna be easy. But you’ll see most prices above what I just mentioned. Good luck.

Welcome Penny are just as wide as Juliet, XX or Romeo I. Lenses are the smallest of all X-Metal, hence less coverage. What part of Europe do you resident?
Here two pictures.
First Penny
Second Juliet
As you can see they are nearly identical.

Thank you for the info! Really appreciate it since I’m just a newbie atm.
Btw why Juliet’s are two times cheaper? There were less Penny produced back in the days?

Not a true expert on the subject, but it does seem as if there are many times more Juliets than the other frames. I believe that’s why they were the cheapest.

Just like capitalism:
Supply and demand

I’m located in Lisbon, Portugal.
I will see if Juliet’s will fit me right, otherwise I’ll have to hunt for Penny.

Juliet appealed more to the masses and is more of a universal fit.

Penny, as time has gone on has become a rare and desirable beast but also one suited to a slightly smaller face.

That explains a lot! Thank you
I guess I’ll have to pay more for my smaller face
