This was brought up on the Facebook Group, so I figured I'd pose the question here. In regards to Juliet Colorway releases, what order were they. The first list to be posted was:

This was based around SKU order for the most part, and the second Gen plasma was deduced to be around 2000 since the Ice Polarized didn't have the 'A' suffix on the serial, despite being a later Plasma frame.

I initially didn't see anything that jumped out, but figured a quick browse though the Wayback Archive might help, since you could see snapshots of oakley.com through the years. This was a bit hit or miss, since the sites often aren't complete, or the navigation wasn't conducive to a webbot crawler.

My findings after all was said an done were:

- By Feb 2000, there were 4 colorways: X-Metal, Ti/Gold, and the Fire/Ice Plasma. X-Metal/Gold was already gone, so the initial colorways were correct.

- By June 2000, the X-Men Ruby was out bringing the current colorway count up to 5 (6 total)

- 2001 doesn't have any useful working pages until later in the year, at which point I found the product page stayed relatively static until August 2004 (which matches what I remember as the 2004 era site moved to the search engine style, which got annoying)

- October 2001:
Plasma/Emerald Iridium
Polished/Blue Iridium
Polished G30
Polished/Fire Polarized

- Major gap in the site, but early 2004 had:
Plasma/Ice Polarized
TiO2/VR28 Black
Polished/Fire Iridium
Carbon/Black
Ducati X-Metal/Black
Finito Carbon/VR50

- Carbon Ducati shows up in mid-2005, but that was earlier. I would place the Finito and original Ducati after Carbon/Black, but before Brown. Looking up some old forum posts from the one I had prior to O-Review, shows that Finito and Original Ichiro appeared in August 2003. The Ducati was in stores when I was in Hawaii in May 2003, and the Brown came out in December 2004.

A nice list. I could've sworn I saw the TiO2 in stores before I saw the Ruby Juliet and the SGH Emerald Juliet after the Ruby Juliet (and I really did follow the Ruby Juliet from start to finish). Oh well, my memory's going wonky nowadays anyway, especially when it comes to Oakley.

I agree with you on the TiO2 Oak. I thought it came before the Ruby as well.

Love all this info by the way. Very cool. Thanks.

Wish I had the hot lists from that era, but I think my oldest ones are from 2006-2006 or so.

I feel like the brown should be near the end too, since it was dead last in the serial era. The only other ones were Ichiro's, which brought back the serial for those few releases.
