If you haven't registered your numbered Juliets or X-metals with the relevant threads as mentioned below, make sure you do that, because there's a company printing fake numbers on X-metal ear stems. See thread about it here....Scary X Metal Frame Service: Engrave Serial Number

Introduction
After I saw @X-Metal Beast's collection here, I really fell in love with X-metals. @SiRacer420 once called me the "Listmeister". I need to live up to my name. So I bring you my attempt at an Oakley Forum Quick Reference Index of topics pertaining to each of the X-Metals which may help you should you have questions and not know where to look. It's also for the lazy man who can't use the "search" button.

There are 199 pages in this group of threads so far. I've trawled through the first 30. Be patient. I'll slowly work through it and update as necessary! ;)
