Good eye, Fil! If it weren't for your good eyes, who knows what would have happened to those Juliets. The thought of it being in a toolbox is just disturbing.

where do you live where even handy men have Ruby Juliets

That handyman did not buy that rubies, he has no faintest idea what he had on his hand. He must have guessed how I really like to have it that he just gsve this to me. I gave him something in return to compensate in a way. Well anyway here it is now, cleaned and lens replaced.







Still I've not decided whether to send this to oakley.

Hmm, not half bad. I vote for not sending them in at this point. If they replace the frame, you'll definitely get a non-serial pair...again if that matters to you.

They have a good story behind tham and they have a serial number....keep em!

I just got ny RuJu's back but I included a note saying that I must have at least the left stem back. So I got them back S/N intact!

I'd love to have a badly damaged frame like that. As I said earlier, in another thread, it shows how it's used. To me that's far cooler than a mint frame that's never seen daylight.

I'd say keep the frame. It looks like you cleaned it up pretty well. And the "battle scars" on the frame just give it character.

I'll keep the frame. Now I'll start hunting for a really red rubies to give the frame a new life.

How touching. Reminds me of the classic car magazines my dad reads which always have stories about how someone found a rusted 1931 Bugatti gathering dust in a barn and bought it from the old lady/kids/estate trustee for a song and restored it...
