This is an odd color to me. At first I couldn't stand it, but the more "mature" in my collecting that I've become, the more I've grown to appreciate it. It is a beautiful color on a beautiful frame. Everything about this frame looks nice. I am happy, however, that there is contrast in the orbitals and the nosepiece. I think and all-gold frame on an X-Metal would be a little gauche.

A great "look-at-me" pair of glasses that comes standard with one of the best lens options available (24k). However, I am disappointed with the matte gold color. The point of this pair is to offer a show of extravagance, and the matte gold actually makes the pair look a little cheap when viewed at closer inspection (I've been asked 3 times if the gold color was plastic). However, this should have been offered on the Juliet line, not just the XX, hence the 4 stars out of 5.

Beautiful color combination here. The 24K really stands out and shouts Oakley. 24K looks great in the sun. The contrast of the nosebridge and earstems with the orbitals looks amazing. If only Oakley did this with all x-metals.

A definite attention-getting frame. The bright gold is offset by the neutral, unpolished orbitals. Paired with a 24k Gold Iridium set of lenses, this frame receives top marks from me.

My first X-Metal, they stand out but in a very classy kind of way, a must have to any collection.

Amazing color combo, its gold ! The hammer arms, the dual tone of the frame, everything with it is great.

I have seen black lens in that combo looking great too, might do that in the future.
