Welcome!

Hey

Many thanks!!

So, here's a n00b question: why does the TT / MM have two names? Were they for different markets, or did the name change at some point in the product run, or?? - elbow

If I remember correctly, Cartier was the problem, since they had a Tank model.

Hi everyone,

My name is Jeroen (Jay for non-Dutch :)) and I have been an Oakley enthousiast for decades.
I bought my first Oakley (e-wire) when I was around 16 for the absurd price of $299. Around the time that the X-metal Mars was released also. 27 years later I still have it (the e-wire, not the Mars unfortunately :() in used but pretty good shape; including the original box with the metal "plate" that closed the inner box.

My first e-mailadres was oakley1242@hotmail.com (and the 1242 was, as far as I can recall the number where the original HQ was situated; I even had a black Oakley baseball cap with 1242 embroidered on the back) Hence my nickname; a sort of tribute to that :)

Since recently I decided to dig up all the Oakleys I have and put them in a nice original Oakley showcase and show them in stead of let them catch dust. Due to the fact I was a prescription glass wearer the collection isn't that impressive (yet) but still I'm glad it is up for display.

Because of that I scoured the internet for parts and how-to's and came across o-review a lot of times and it has been my go-to site to check models and tips.

I'm really curious at all the enthusiasts here, and probably impressed by the collections.

With kind regards,


Jeroen (Jay)

Hello Jeroen. I work with an engineer with the same name and very few people manage to pronounce it correctly. Like you, I love the 1242 stuff. 1242 is a code I change the electroninc keypads to.
Sounds like you already have a great collection yourself.

Hey guys, I have been checking this sites for a long time and now I would like to give my contribution to its growth. I have seen for instance some frame color is missing, can I update the SKU list as a new member already?

As a new member, you can add items (models or colorways within an existing model). In order to change something that's already in the database, I would have to adjust your permissions. So if something is simply missing, you can do that already.

Welcome!

Thanks guys! I just added the OO9290-63, but how do I upload the picture?
By the way last night I was trying to login from a different computer, it didn't work and I wasn't able to reset the password either, luckily enough this computer was still connected
PS: how can I contact an admin via PM?

You can send me a message. Just click on my profile pic, and it should have a button to send one. Let me know what issues you are having, and I can look into it.

Hello guys, new entrance here.

Can I get red icons for Oil Rig II (castle) from someone on this forum?

Anybody sells them, or is able to produce a red pair of icons?

Will search the forum, but if you have info let me know.

Thanks

Hello all you Oakley freaks.

It's been a long time coming. I finally registered and I'm honored the privilege of being a member of the forum.

For you Flak Jacket fanatics, I recently put together this one and called it HAN SOLO.

I do not believe this combo was offered as a standard model.... or was it?


Have a great weekend everybody!

Flaks are probably one of the most heavily customized models outside the M Frames and their variants. Don't believe that colorway was offered, buy there have been so many, it's hard to track.
