Hello everybody..

I'd say my interest in Oakley glasses was influenced by my uncle. When I was a kid, he first had a Ti E-Wire, which I borrowed and lent it to a friend, who lost it eventually (bummer).

Then he got himself a Romeo and since then, I've been awed by Oakley's designs, especially the X-Metal series. The designs are so radical!

A short while later, the 1st X-Men movie was released. Damn, I was eyeing Cyclops glasses the whole time! I'd watch those scenes over and over again. I just had to have a pair.

So when I was a teenager with no cash, I got myself a pair of plastic Juliets and Romeos. The stems broke because they were so thin. Oh well... I didn't expect them to last anyway.

So now that I'm 20 (as of 2006), I managed to get my hands on a TRUE Ruby Juliet. The desire to have one has not died throughout the years. I'm glad I got myself a pair.

Out of curiousity, I also got myself a pair of polarized half jackets to see how polarization will affect my view. Again, I'm impressed by Oakley's lens technology.

You won't go wrong with this one!

I'd love to see some comments and feedback from you guys. It gives me motivation to carry on.

I've got a question. Do all +Red M-frame lenses look the same or are there variations i.e. the Ruby Iridium.

Oh well.. nothing much to look at compared to the photographs here, but this is one of the best looking shots of my Ruby Juliets:

I'm not wearing any O's in this shot, and this is why I need my Oakleys:




A friend of mine did these for me. I wanted that Isaac Mendez and Peter Petrelli effect from Heroes. But everything turned out freaky.

Here's a stupid question:

I'm going to Australia for 3 weeks. Which of the following should I pick if I were to choose ONE:

Option A: Juliet/Ruby Iridium
Option B: Half Jacket/Ti Pol XLJ

I have no idea. I'm eyeing those Ruby Quartz Plus8 ones and are waiting fr someone who has em to comment. I think the available color options Keystone provides are amazing.

You can find a lot of these in Malaysia's selected night markets... A LOT. The O-matter ones are in abundant.. but no X-metal replicas there.

How did you make a Pearl White Juliet, Pit0M?

EDIT:
I was just looking on Ebay and I noticed that Keystone has successfully developed a Ruby Quartz Plus8 for Juliets, Pennies, XX's, Romeos and Mars. I am really really tempted to get these...

But I'd like to see if any of you have already purchased these. Do post up shots because maybe the auction shots are all very nicely arranged to show deep purple. As we all know Ruby Iridiums are really really tricky to photograph.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys... in the following Metacafe video (link), this guy is wearing my Ruby Juliets and making sounds with his armpit. He's really really good. He's hoping to get as many views and above 3 out of 5 rating so that he can register for the producer rewards and get some money...

Anyways... check this video out, this made me laugh non-stop!

Taking photographs of ruby iridiums are really tricky. 90% of the time it looks more orangy and reddish, but actually to my eyes it's darker than that.

What? only 15-30minutes? I was gonna let them soak overnight LOL!!! For that dark red lenses =P I'll look up RIT dye on google or something. Cos I have no idea what that is.

Here are the lenses that I'm gonna try it on. I cannot find those fake-oakley lenses so I will use my scratched +red lenses, my snapped black zeroes and my sister's tinted fake glasses =P

One way to immortalize something is via pictures.. so here's mine before I start. +red lenses are one of the best looking ones and I am soo regretful that I trashed this one at the beach.. I was swimming around with this in my pocket and when sand got in.. it's a sad story =(

Never did get to it. My final exams are coming up and after that I'll do it. I've got everything ready. I've got some cheap fake-oakley lenses from a long time ago (back when i was a kid) and I'm gonna use those lenses to experiment on. Also I've got a scratched-up-so-it's-useless pair of +red lenses for an eye jecket which I am going to use too.

I am just thinking of what is the best method to soak the lenses and how to take it out avoiding any smears, or parts that are too concentrated. How to get the colour even...

Sorry guys... really sorry...

1. X-metal/Ruby Iridium
2. X-metal/Black Polarized
3. Polished/Blue Iridium

Yeah.. I'm sure he didn't mean to do that. He's excited about the lens and I would be too!

Oh btw... Speaking of rubies, my desperation for a pair has brought forth this crazy idea... simple... and cheap.

I'm thinking I will need either Black iridium lenses for the Juliet or a custom clear juliet lens. Then I'm just gonna soak these lenses in concentrated red food dye/colouring overnight. And tomorrow I will have my home-made ruby lenses!

I know I sound kinda stupid... possibly noob-ish too.

I cant help smiling hearing Dax talk about the +red, how it can change colour but the part that was very funny was "no other lens can do this" because I was thinking .. yeah... my Juliet goes from purple to yellow.

Still... it looks AWESOME. Good job Keystone.
