Showing Off Legit Checks…Farewell

Post image
151 Upvotes

Valued members,

Our sub is at a tipping point where the legit checks have overrun everything else. I have had multiple messages from you guys, complaining about the amount of legit checks. I too am completely over it, and the time has come for me to do something about it. As of now, I will be removing the posts when I see them. I will not be approving the many, many daily requests for approval due to zero karma, anymore. I also may just ban the use of the words “legit check” together, (I think I can do that).

I will possibly create a new sub that is specifically for legit checks, but haven’t decided if I want to deal with that madness or not.

Lets get back to real Oakley discussions and reload our sub with “pair of the day” or “this week/months purchases” and flush these LC posts down the toil… you get it.

And yes, I chose this specific image to get your attention, did it work?

As Ron Burgundy would say…

“CANNONBALL!”

Thanks,
Steve

Purchasing Experience Oakley Scar X Satisfy

Thought id share some photos of the latest drop from Oakley X Satisfy.

Really pleased with them overall they suite my face nicely. I thought id prefer the silver ones initially but after receiving both colours I am in love with the brown pair.

Disappointing that the cost is high and they don't bother to even supply a sunglasses case but it is what it is I guess.

What's your thoughts on this drop?

General Question Oakley Juliet X-Metal Blue Iridium Polished Value

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Hi, I am thinking about selling my Oakley sunglasses. I bought these back around 2000. I am the original owner. I have taken care of them because they were pretty expensive when I bought them. They have always been kept in the protective bag. Unfortunately I have not worn them for many years because I need glasses. I can't wear contacts anymore since my eyes can't focus properly at different distances, part of getting older I guess. Not sure what these are worth, so hoping for a ballpark value.

I will say I was a bit disappointed to open them up and find the foam was falling apart and actually stained and ruined the warranty card on me. I tossed all the falling apart foam, I do still have the main foam which isn't horrible but it does still have some of the brown sticky foam on the bottom of it.

The nose bridge needs to be fixed. Would I be better off buying the pins and rubber gaskets and repairing these before selling. I would be looking at using my drill press to repair instead of buying the pin pusher tool that is essentially a mini drill press. The last part of the serial matches the box. Frames has "JB041114" original box has A41114 on it. Thanks, hopefully I followed all the rules.

Got some new x-metals!! Thought they were 24K but my good friend @academic_judgement912 confirmed they were XX with a paint job attempting to replicate the 24K. For 200 shipped? I couldn’t resist. I was a little too persistent but it paid off!!

General Question Juliet Loose Nose Bridge

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My first pair of Juliets, seller states that it's always been like this, but i have a feeling that it's loose, and from my research, it should be firm with no wobbling at all.

If it's really loose, I'm wondering how easy repair is with replacement parts/tool (pictures in comments) and is there any risk of damaging the frame during the repair, (to save myself time of research through forums i asked Chatgpt and its saying that there is a risk of cracking the orbitals,however I didn't find any mentions about something going wrong during the repair online)

Your advice will be appreciated!

Informative Oakley Warehouse Sale

For those that live near the Inland Empire in California. They got a sale coming up at Alternative Retail.
I went to one last year in January in Tustin, CA and they didn’t have Oakley sunglasses that I can remember. They did have other brands like Roxy, Costa, etc. As for Oakley stuff, it was mostly apparel, accessories, and some shoes/sandals.
I only bought 1 hoodie, 2 pairs of shorts, some gloves, 1 long sleeve Tshirt and it came out to close to $180ish. Don’t know what they’ll have at this sale but when I went, I noticed they had a lot of cool Oakley Japan items.

Help ID Help:Radar EV Path vs. Heater — are the lenses interchangeable?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy a pair of Oakley Radar EV Path sunglasses, but I’m a little confused about the lens options.

  • Can I get a Heater lens as an extra lens for the EV Path?
  • There’s an “Additional Lens” option on Oakley’s website. Does that mean I’m adding a spare lens to my order?
  • I also found these Radar Replacement Lenses. Are they the same as what’s offered under “Additional Lens,” or is there a difference?
  • If I buy two pairs, one with a Path lens and one with a Heater lens, can I swap the lenses between the frames?

Has anyone tried this? I’d appreciate any advice before I order. Thanks!

General Question Can someone help me value some older Oakley items?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a pair of e-wires from the 90s and also a pair of Monster Dawgs which I think are early 2000’s? E-wires are in good condition as I barely wore them but the polarising coating has started to come off the Monsters. Also have a metal box made by Oakley, although the foam lining has degraded.

Just wondering what they might be worth. Im in Europe.

Thanks

Help ID Oakley SI range vs standard - UK based

2 Upvotes

Is anyone here knowledgable on the differences between standard Oakley glasses / sunglasses and the SI range?

I'm UK based and havent been able to find anywhere that stocks the SI range made for law enforcement

Oakleys UK customer service was unfortunately unable to assist in pointing me to any UK stockists and Oakleys SI in the US seem to only be able to take orders from customers signed up with a verification service for US army / law enforcement.

What I'm trying to figure out is if Oakleys standard glasses might be safe enough with their polycarbonate lenses anyway?

Glasses compliant with ANSI Z87 safety certification is what I was hoping to find but it might be unecessary really.

Any guidance or help much appreciated!

General Question Where can I find an authentic Oakley Juliet for a reasonable price in 2026?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been trying to get my hands on an authentic Oakley Juliet, but the prices seem ridiculously high everywhere I look.

I'm from Brazil, and I've been looking into importing a pair, but even international listings are extremely expensive, especially when you factor in shipping and import taxes.

Does anyone know where I could find an original Oakley Juliet for a reasonable price these days? Are there any trusted sellers, websites, or communities where I might find a good deal?

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
