Phil, I totally agree (and have done since the first time I saw em'!) I soooo want a pair it's untrue! but as you say, with only 50 pairs going to managers they're as rare as rocking horse sh*t!

Yeah, and if I remember, someone who has a pair here, tried to make it happen that they could be released to the general public, but it did not happen...

Yeah, we'll probably see MD2 before that one goes into mass pro.

Rare to me is stuff Oakley has produced in low numbers be it prototypes, sports marketing colors, custom lenses, or whatever.

Rare is not switching lenses in a particular model to "make" a "one off" or repainting your own glasses to make something nobody else has.

I myself am rare; there's just one of me.

Fortunately, I guess...

rare? you mean like that 0.3 style zero that looks like a camera shutter? ;-)

I still don't get the undying appeal of those MD's. It's just a few lines, is all.

ED is back , how was the Cuba-libre ?

Rare... something that is not unique but hard to come buy.

ED is back , how was the Cuba-libre ?

Cuba is still not ´libre´ but I love it anyway. As far as the alcohollic version of ´Cuba Libre´...love those even more. Same goes for the Cubanitas and dancing salsa.

If only the man with the beard would leave...

Some Cuban Oakley pix coming up.

I'm with you on the wanting the bearded man to leave Ed.

If your not a fan you'll probably find this to be freaking hilarious!!!!

Well, Kev, it's not that I think he's bad for Cuba - after all people were found dead at streetcorners during Batista's time - but from coming from the capitalist western world, I can see some things that can be changed for the bennefit of all Cubans.
But perhaps this is something for a new thread?

Edwin,
I travel to Central America alot, not quite CUBA. Here are some of my friends in Nicaragua... and me and my OO.

Hey Scott,

Seems like you have some usefull friends out there! Was that before they put the cuffs on you or after you bribed them?

scott , they should have arrested you for wearing a nike shirt ! LOL

My definition of rare is when you cut into your Oakleys They're red, warm, & juicy in the center!

Sorry for the Nike shirt. We were backpacking through the Nicaraugan mountains and volcanos. I really did not want to ruin my good shirts. I did give them a little money, but they were more scared of me than anything. The guns were real, but no bullets. They had sharpen them to be more like a spear. They were afraid when a 6'2 300+ Americano comes around... They were nice after I gave them the money... It is the universal language!

So there was a bribe!? Obviously because you were wearing the wrong shirt! ;-)

How was Nicaragua?

Yupp, the Omega Ploprof is a serious piece of kit.

Nicarauga is good. I will try to post my pics of me on a volcano with my Oakley. I am leaving for Panama in Feb. I will make sure I pics.

O.2P Prototype.....

Woah.

What's scribbled on the lens?

Signatures of a couple speedskaters.

Wow awesome find there Oak,those are truely rare.
