does some ichiro polished/emerald slate could come without serial??

As far as I know the polished/emerald did not have a serial on any of them.

ok thanks
and now how to be sure the ichiro is not a custom when no box
only trust??

I'm not 100% sure but I think the other Ichiro Juliets did have serials, only the emerald slate did not.

I'm pretty sure that the first few Polished/Emerald Slate Ichiro Juliets "did" have serial numbers... But shortly thereafter Oakley discontinued serial numbers on the X-Metal frames, and most Emerald Slate Ichiro Juliets afterwards were produced without the serials.

As a follow-up question to rubyskull's, were the Ichiro Juliet box serial #s all, where applicable, properly matched up with the #s etched onto the frames?
(I realize we can possibly know if each and every set is such, so only asking for those who own these if yours match box serial to frame.)

Just see this, and the Plasme/Ice juliet is missing. I have one with serial W######A

W######A is a second gen warranty replacement frame; fixing the original coating issues. It was used to track gen 2 frames that were replacements of originals vs ones created fresh with the new frame treament.

Ah ok, cool to know. Thanks for that :-)

Polished emerald slate ichiros most definitely had serials up to about 2000 before the lux take over

Love these old threads. I knew so little.
