LIEUTENANT -
I love my unknown sunglasses,but like the rest of the models produced in late 2003,and the whole 2004,the boxes started to take a generic course.While the yellow generic boxes weren't that bad,actually I'm a big fan of theirs because of the unbelievable sci-fi icon,used ONLY in the love of my life half jackets,(and in the eye jacket 3.0,which isn't that bad after all),the specific era boxes are something between interesting,and boring,hence the 3 on rating.Each of them has a specific model detail close up.I have these boxes on my unknown,the plate,the dartboard,the valves,and the hatchet and I can't say that these are bad.They are dinstictive indeed,since they are not generic actually,but certainly they can't be compared to the earlier boxes with the pictures of the specific models in black and white,that were giving you the impression that the glasses were actually spaceships that were already orbiting around the earth,and considering the unearthly looks of the older oakleys,that impression wasn't far from the truth.On the other hand,the 03-04 grey boxes looked pretty much the same,since sometimes you can't really understand exactly which model they refer to,unless you look at the model lettering,or at the sides,where you will probably find a picture of the frame.So,I think that a clear 3 on the rating is fair enough for those boxes.Still they were by far better than the late white generic boxes,and their recent descendant,the black boxes(the 2011 version of the generic boxes that is).Good old times...
