With so many threads starting on RUBY items, this thread has been started to contain it all in one area.
Hopefully everyone will contain their thoughts, comments about anything RUBY to this thread.
This thread should end up going in many different directions about RUBY but will always remain about RUBY, and save having multiple threads on similar subjects.
So please post what ever you want in this regard, use it as a reference and remember if you have a RUBY post to make, make it here.
hehe im gonna call this my thread since nobodys as pbsessed as me (at least when it comes to ruby)
so who all here has ruby juliets? whats your serial number and how red/purple are they?
mine are serial X001428 and the lenses are mostly red with shades of purple towards the center and orange on the outside edge (im waiting for mine back since i sent them in a few weeks ago)
My brother's off to Germany for a year, so I'm displaying his best pairs at my house for the time being. One of them being his deep red Juliet. Course it makes me want one, but whatever. It it a beautiful thing though.
Mine are X001818. The lenses look 'first gen' to me based on pics I've seen on this site.
I'll probably send them in soon for a tune-up and a second set of rubies. Any recommendations on who to ship them through? How much does it cost to insure the package?
I'm tempted to insure it for close to $1000 in value since they're so expensive to replace. If they get lost in the mail, is there any chance that Oakley would put together a replacement pair for me with a normal x-metal frame (even though it wouldn't be serialed)?
Well take the lenses out for starters. The frame is easier to track down. You could rebuy an X-metal/black one for a few hundred and rebuild it. But it's risky since I'm sure you want to keep that low serial.
unscrew the earstem! thats what i did when i sent my ruby j's in for a replacement. you gotta beg and plaed but after awhile the lady agreed to help me out... according to oakley tyey're on thier way back , oh how ive misssed them!
How much was the frame replacement Justin? Warranty or not? Also, arent you afraid of the new frame and your old earstem being slightly different in color? Theres always that chance, which is why when only specific car panels get repainted, you have to feather the panels next to them so theyre also the same color. Good luck man.
I've got pair # X0001852 That I bought from a pawn shop for $125. I like to eat at Ruby Tuesdays & my cat's name is Ruby. There, I'm about spent on my Ruby topics
i compared frame colors at my local sunglass hut and there was no difference. they said that they would not include the other earstem if i didnt send it in.. generous of them eh?
