Hip to be Square-O
Aug 31, 2006 4:54 AM
Hey all, exciting news from NJ. Paul, the owner of VUTT Sunglasses in NJ, is in the early stages of planning an exclusive Five 3.0 with the store's logo etched in the lens. This pair will be an extremely limited release (under 100 probably) and if all goes well, will become a yearly occurance.

Only employees of the the store and O-Review members will be able to purchase it and best of all, he would like your imput as to the colorways to pursue.

The order will be based on interest so I need whoever would be SERIOUSLY INTERESTED to PM me to be added to a list. From what he has been told by corporate, The more people we get in, the better the custom can be. Here is the breakdown:

30-Custom Logo Etched in lens

50-Any available lens (not limited to OCE options)

100-Any frame color (not limited to OCE options)

Just think of the possibilities....polished white/violet iridium.....mmmmmmmmmmm

Paul will also be looking into custom colorways (i.e. East Coast Boarder Crowbar) but again this will most likely be based on the demand and size of the order placed.

How cool is this guys! Time to put on your thinking caps.

No no definately not. Figure along the lines of a polarized Five 3.0 give or take a little. Again this is early stages and everything is sublect to change but its safe to say they will be around $125ish.

Is that the same store with the White Oakley Text Gascan for sale for $500?

Yes but he is just displaying it and in no way is profiting from the sale of it. The price was set by the owner of the glasses and is out of his control.

Oh is that how it's working? Thanks for clearing up the confusion, Bill. I was under the impression that the store was selling them at that cost.

This also brings up an interesting question...
If VUTT can get a custom color lens and frame, could we get one as well?

No, I woulda ripped them a new one if that was the case. But back to the task at hand.

I guess anything's possible if we could all agree on something. So far, the O-Review has taken the stance that they dont want to produce a custom frame for fear of people profiting off of it on ebay

Mr RangerK has suggested a Tribal/Topaz Iridium combo. Maybe Copper Tribal.... Keep PM'n me with names and wished combos.

We at Vutt were talkin about this a wee while ago. There are certain things that Paul and I were told that we could and couldn't do. Now our original idea was an Olive Green Five 3.0 with a G26 (oh the green would be painful). I'm not sure if we could get a Color/Text style glass, as far as I know it is all dependant on how many we order. Well either Bill or I will keep you guys posted about any occurances that may happen with this.

Dont forget Gary! (Judge21 on here) Again its all based on the order size guys. If there isnt a huge respose, It may only be a OCE custom with the VUTT logo etching.

Dude, I am so in. I'm happy to go along with whatever the general consensus is. The crazier the better, but I'd be happy either way. I'll PM you.

Definitely crazy. Might be a bit too "Christmas Crazy" though...

I put my faith in Bill to make the final call. I think I trust his taste.

You know what, maybe you're crazy.

But yeah, I trust Bill too, but I thought he wanted our ideas. Shall we even suggest Ruby? Maybe Polished Black/Grey?

All this trust, oh no, the pressure! Its not entirely up to me though guys. There are at least four others with their say (maybe more say).

Bottle Green does need to make its pressence felt more but I'm not sure about Fire - too much like a Miami Hurricanes combo. Keep-em comin guys.

I'd double up with supporting the crazier the better. G30, Violet Iridium, Ruby Clear, - Red ... gooooood! Text, Tribal, or other wild frame colors would be super.

I would be interested, but here's my dilema...Fives don't fit...maybe a MD, or Eyepatch, etc...
