What do you all prefer for Oakley Display Stands? The X-Metal or the Plastic Black/Clear Ones?

[Broccoli]

The black ones. The design of the clear stands allows it to touch the back of the lenses on a high base curve frame.

Neither... because I use custom 3D printed stands by @qtrain23 which allows me to fit up to five pairs high on a shelf inside my Mega Towers.

I bought a three tier metal one and it doesn’t fit in mine

I use metal for my x metals. It just looks better but more difficult

But the one shelf I got o matters on I use the black ones.

There are also other metal ones which take more space but are nice.

I forgot about those, I had several of them, but didn’t like how much space they used.

Depends on what you want. If you want something that is minimal railings can be used. Zcforge can show you them. I have a rare 5 tier xmetal stand and it does take up a lot of space. The Y displays are an alternative. But in the end you got to ask the end goal. Cheaper? Efficient? Cool factor? or Practical? If you are still unsure @aeh is selling some black stands.

Yea. They look great and take up a lot of space. But always so paranoid scratching something and put them on it slow . So far less tactical. Currently got 3 of them.

Also, This is the same stand that has 3 tiers. That I had mentioned before that won’t fit in the display how I have the shelves.

Nice setup. I like those 3d printed stands on the bottom.
but please take that gorgeous timepiece off of it's crown. or don't show me I am tempted to check mine...
re: stands I like the metal ones because I got them for a good deal ant they feel hefty. i relocate the bottom stand to the middle so I can fit another pair on the shelf under it.

Once upon a time I made my one and it ended up becoming more on an obsession than than the glasses so I shelved the project. I'll tag you in some old pics as I come across them.

I use a mix of both black plastic and metal stands. Not all glasses work on the metal ones. Jawbreakers and Plazma fit perfect though.

It is an old pic. That watch is no longer on its crown. @Hed568 that watch is a citizen promaster eco drive. Solar powered.
