The original Romeo was the foundation of the X-Metal line, and today we compare the predecessor with its successor, the Romeo 2.

i was lucky enough too get the first pair east of the mississippi from the oakley rep when he came into the shop to show them off back in the day. i bought them on sight off the rep. original romeos with all red rubbers in like 1996 or some such and i still have them. sent in for numerous lens replacements and now i have to buy them from a reseller in japan. still love them. they last.
Congratulations on that historic pickup! Not only is that an incredible pair of glasses, but you will always remember the story behind them and it's a great story to share with others! Thanks for watching, and be sure to check out our other videos! 😀
A guy in USA makes them from OEM oakley lenses & sells on ebay. He buys lenses from other models & cuts them to shape. He is also on the oakley forum.
I’ve always wanted a pair of Romeo 1 in x-metal ever since I was a kid❤
They are timeless classics for sure!
I'm Brazilian, here these glasses are very expensive, I wanted to know a way to bring some of these here, this is a dream
Hello, and greetings from the U.S.! Yes, the X-Metals are quite expensive, especially now since they are no longer in production. Hopefully you'll be able to get a pair in the near future, and thank you for watching!
I hope to one day pickup a pair of Romeo 1s in Xmetal finish❤
They are truly classics! Thanks for watching!
Great video👍🏻
Thank you, sir! Make sure to check out our other videos and hit that bell icon for our future episodes!
I love my Romeo 2, some day I will try on a pair or the OG Romeo and buy them.
Really wish I would have picked up all colors of the original Romeos when I had a chance!
I own many X-Metal pairs, and also the Romeo 1 Red Jordan's, Ducatti Juliet's and few more, nothing major. I never liked the Romeo 2 variance.. Ever since Jim sold out to Luxottica, Oakley has never been the same :( Actually the Romeo 1 JORDAN with the red unobtanium were RE-RELEASED just a few years ago on Oakley's website, I believe about 25 pairs worldwide were sold total, @ $14k USD each! oh mama.... X-Metal, hands down. The Best.
Agreed that Oakley is definitely not the same since Lux took over. I also remember when they released the limited edition X-Metal set of Romeo + Juliet for the ridiculous $14K asking price. The release was a great idea, but very poor execution in that they literally priced 99.99% of collectors (including me) out of the market.
Regarding the Romeo 2, it's important to keep in mind that these were still released during Jim's days. It's understandable that not everyone will like them, but the Romeo 2 are still some of my personal favorite X-Metals. 😀
It was first launch Titanium material sunglasses those day.
I wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive so I couldn't.
Mission impossible Sunglasses are not old fashion.
I like the old OKALEY GEAR before LUXOTTICA CORPORATION bought them 😢
Very rare!
Send one of these Romeo 2 to Brazil brother kkkk make a double-x 24k video please
Hahaha! We'll be keeping these for now, but STAY TUNED because I do have the 24K XX X-Metals BNIB, and at some point we plan on reviewing them! Thanks for watching, my Brazilian brother! Vivo Bolsonaro!
how much are the romeo 1s?
Not selling any Oakleys at the moment, but thank you for watching! 😀
@@nikeandaiza4521 I meant resell usually hahahaha
@@nerdhater74 Ah, that I don't know, exactly. A few years ago they were around 1K if in great condition with the original box, etc.
