For fun; I'm bored. I won't post the pics in case it explodes the server (I'm not sure how it works. If they're linked externally, will it hurt your's Dann? Or can we post pics uploaded externally?)

We can link to external sites, you just have to know the address and put the img tag around it. External sites can't link to us, because I disabled it on the server.

The newer replacement Ruby's looks just like the 2nd Gen Fire. When I see it, I cannot even say it's Ruby. On the other hand the first Gen Fire is more Ruby Red than the current one ruby

the latest ruby lenses selling one Ebay:

Also, the only way to really get the orignial replacement Rubys is to send you orginal X-Metal Frame where the serial number shows the Ruby/X-metal combo.

not true anymore, anyone with Juliet's can get ruby lenses, they dropped the price down to the regular premium iridium price as well, like $50-$60. I think that you still have to send them in however, but they are not limiting it to purely those with X-metal Ruby serial numbers. At least customer service rep hooked me up with that deal, but he said that the policy had recently changed.

Cal means the only way you can get Gen 1 ruby is if you have the X-metal ruby combo. if you dont you will be given the new ruby lenses which look like fire.

Those Bana pics, the lenses look like they came straight out of X-men. Even my Ruby lenses (which I'm pretty sure are early lenses) have a hint of yellow around the edges.

Anachorisms aside, I find it odd that whoever was responsible for putting the Juliets in BHD decided on X-metal/Ruby, since they're pretty much owned by X-men. Why not mix it up, put some Ice in there or something.

Or a pair that's actually from that vintage.
