hey guys, just found out that SGH employees qualify for a 15% discount on their SPRINT monthly bill. the corp ID is NACLN_ZZZ i guess just call customer service up via 611

We also get 15% off at Verizon.

I just popped into a sunglass hut. I ended up buying a jawbone for 120 polarized. Black with positive red. I am going to use it for biking. The guy told me that Sunglass hut purchased Oakley and also that they are discontinuing the Juliet's. Anyone know if these are true.

Only the part about SGH buying Oakley...

That's not correct, either. The parent company of SGH, Lux, bought Oakley, not SGH. Hut employees have been saying that for a long time, and it is totally inaccurate. Saying that SGH bought Oakley is like saying that LensCrafters, or for that matter, R**-B** bought Oakley. They're owned by Lux too.

As for the Juliet being discontinued I do know that the Ducati Juliet is being discontinued but not the rest of the line just yet.

My mind would be officially blown if they discontinued the Juliet but kept some of the other questionable frames alive. That's like removing one of the main pillars in a building, you just don't do it.

Very well explained.

Yet another occasion where I need a "like" button. LOL

LOL. Sorry. I was being sarcastic. I assumed it was common knowledge. Yes. I'm an asshole.

Lol, Nik, that wasn't directed at you, that was more for the edification of anyone who wasn't clear on it. I get so pissed off every time I walk into a SGH, wearing Oakley head to toe, and have some schmuck behind the cash wrap look at me and say "you know we bought them, right?". I won't say that I've popped off on SGH employees, so much as...brusquely reeducated them.

Hah! Well said mate. I know there are exceptions in SGH but none I have ever ventured into.

Agreed. "Try on these ones, the blue lenses are really great"

"Yeah, I like ICE lenses"


Not to mention each pair I try on I hear "wow, those look GREAT on you"...

We get it, you make a commission on anything I buy.

"wow, those look GREAT on you"...

But I always think that everything DOES look great on me!

Haha Paul, even Dispatches? I think Marcel is the only thug on this place able to pull those babies off.

Painstakingly quoting myself from 12/15/2009:

Oh, I also got in my clear/chrome Dispatch today. I look awesome.

How many pairs of dispatches do you have now, oogie? :)

Mike

I've got a thumbless handful at this point. But it is all about the icons! All those glorious replacement icons have me slowly notching dents into my temples so I can just interchange the icons directly to my head.

I never thought I would be writing this but I actually kinda sorta not really but yeah like the Matte Black pair. Tried one on a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. Going to my usual Vault store tomorrow....we'll see what happens!!!

Sounds like it would make a fine addition to the Saturday 'what Oakley are you wearing today' FB thread!

thanks justin.. i think paul can rock them anytime.. .. dispatch face off ?

I love to read what everyone else is wearing Paul. Great minds think alike!!!

Well I didn't buy the Matte Black Dispatch today, kinda bummed I didn't pick anything up for myself. I did find a Moto GP FUEL CELL for a co-worker which bring him up to 5 pairs. I also saw the Ducati Holbrook, looks really good in person.

On that note, had the Ducati editions all been rockin the Ruby Iridium, I might have been more of a fan.

In regards to Ruby Iridium, has anyone noticed a "hue gradient" in their lenses? I never noticed in my Gascans, Juliet, Hijinx, or Eye Patch, but in my Holbrook, the base tint only looks blue if I'm looking up or down. When I look directly forward, the hue is much like that of +Red...
