X-Metals are the greatest thing to grace the human race of all time!

You are underestimating, he would trade 7 Js + a penny

Well…as usual My Liege, King Lopaka is spot on… 2…maaaaaaaybe 3 Juliet’s (Beater…not custom. Heck they’d be disassembled and not have lenses, rubber, or screws 😉).

Never doubt the King of MARS! 👽🤙

Heh…one would have to be of higher stature than just a friend to get that extra Penny in the deal…that would take an O-Teammate 🪖👍

I wish I could wear the other X metals, Juliet's are the only pair that look good on me. Do you guys buy X metals just to collect even if you don't like the look while wearing them? I've always wanted to rock Romeo's or Penny's and I can't really try them on to see, basically going by the memory of trying them on at my local Sunglass Hut back in the day

I buy pairs that I wear. Those days are gone where you can wear all xmetals. Unless you know someone who has them. Stick around and you might even see a meet up.
 
Even if you remember trying them back in the day, your face has changed in the meantime.
I remember very clearly that the Half X looked amazing on me but fast forward almost 20 years and they look small now…
 
Romeo 2 should have been called Juliet2 or something else, as it doesn't have much in common with its namesake....
That was kinda the point of the R2 is to create a model of Romeo that was lighter and less problematic with lens cracking. The nose bridge that followed on the models after r1 was inspired to create flex to prevent the tension and rigidity that cracked R1's. The R2 was made with the idea it would appeal to men and the Juliet for women but as we all now know the Juliet satisfied the masses...

Actually the Juliet’s were always made for men, the first catalog out with Juliet’s before the release was a mountain biker with Juliet’s on

I wear everything I buy. And I don’t care if they don’t look good on me if I like the style. There is plenty of people here, myself included, that wear models that don’t fit our face right but we don’t care🤣🤣🤣 Only the Romeo’s and XS are big enough for my face. XX and Juliet are a bit on the small side. The selfie camera in your phone does make the Oakleys larger than in real life. If you really want to see the size of the models you are wearing take a look in a mirror😛
