Right now I have two Juliets (Carbon/24K or Ruby and Plasma/Ice Polarized) and two XX's (Black/Emerald and Crystal Black/Fire Polarized).

Somehow, I don't know why, I also want some Black (or Black Polarized) lenses, for one of these frames. Can't decide what to do...

Here in The Netherlands lenses for Juliets are ridiculously expensive (especially the Polarized ones). For about the same price of a set of lenses one can buy a complete set of XX glasses online.

Yesterday I bought an XX (Skull frame with Black lenses) but I cancelled the deal because of "hidden" charges. Can still buy it though, if I would want it (the seller lowered the expenses).

Question for you folks is: what is the nicest/coolest combo? Juliets/Black or XX's/Black. The Carbon Juliets would look very cool with black lenses I guess. But lenses for the XX might be much cheaper... What to do!

polarized lenses are generally the same regardless of model. the main price altering factors are lens color and polaric-elipsoid lenses (M-Frame and Gascan cost a ton for polarized lenses).

It all depends on taste, but myself, I like something to contrast with a black lens; white, polished,red frame, just no black/black for me.

I really fancy the juliet in polished with a black lens, very very nice. I agree with Eric that contrast is what really will set off the black lens.

Definutely go with Polished/black, I had to change my carbons to ice and then ruby when i had them before because black looks so dull in a carbon frame, polished with black looks amaaazing

But.... but.... that means that I will have to go for *another* set of Juliets! What are you guys doing to me!!! Maybe some Ichiro's will do, with an extra set of Black lenses, ofcourse...

Hmmm, shouldn't have asked this question in the first place! :-)

You've got the Plasma frame, which wouldn't look too shabby with Black Iridium. With Black lenses, I like either a color contrast, or a Matte/Mirror contrast. I love Matte frames with a Mirrored lens.
