Glad you did. There's a few perks to membership aside from the forum. Under the community section, there's a gallery and a collection tracker. You can also now add things to the main database if missing. If you find things that need changing i can give you that privilege too.

Glad to have you!

Thanks Dann - I will definitely make full use of this site! Glad to be a part of it.

Welcome to all newbees!

Hi Guys,

Finally took the plunge and signed up after pouring through all the info on the site for a while.

I am based in the UK, but got my first pair of Oakley sunglasses in Australia in 2001- XX Fire Iridium (a completly indulgent purchase as I was a poor student) but, it was love at first sight, and in the end up, I wore them to death!

I followed these up a couple of years later when I had finished uni and started working with a pair of Ducati Valves and sort of trundled along for a bit with those two, until around a year and a half ago when I started buying and selling some pairs on ebay to build a little collection- keep the ones I love and trade up the ones I wasn't so fussed for, but fancied wearing for a week or two anyway.

I enjoy seeing new styles, trying them out for a bit, and then trading for something else- at the moment I have some black Holbrooks, Ducati Gascans, Ducati Plaintiffs, Riddles in black (despite not being crazy about them when I saw them online, I picked them up for only a few pounds, and they suit me more than any other pair I've had!), Gradient Crosshairs, and Square Wire 2.0 Silver Fire Iridiums.

So, looking forward to chatting to you all! :-)

Best,
Graeme

Hi Graeme!
Welcome to another uk member!

Welcome. Looks like we started the Oakley hobby around the same time. I'm always looking at new styles too and backfilling ones I may have missed in the past.

thanks Dann. Im not really a social web site guy but I will learn to contribute. didn't get my icon up right gotta list my other stuff. but I look forward to learning from and sharing with all of you.

There's an 'add' button on the frame color listing page, which will make the collection addition a lot easier. Saves typing in as much.

Welcome!

Awesome, glad you like it. Certainly well seasoned in the great models that have come out over the years. Hope to see you around.

Welcome to the site. Nice to have original collectors around, more info. :)

Very cool story, Pierre. Welcome!

Hi guys!

I'm John Paul from Manila Philippines. I'm a medical doctor - surgeon to be specific and a self confessed Oakley Addict. Started as an Oakely Diehard ever since my mum gave me a pair of Oakley Eyejacket when I was on 3rd grade (~age 9) Felt like i was the coolest kid in school wearing those shades :)

Been a collector ever since. I agree with the Oakley motto of "Blending Science with Art" as these two are the tenets of the study of medicine and a philosophy we follow as physicians.

You guys are the most amazing Oakley diehards and would glad to meet greet and shake your hand soon!

Kudos to everyone and be proud :) The coolest thing on earth. Oakley!

Doc jaypes!

welcome!

Welcome, John!

Good to have you!
