Ive been here a while and still feel the same way. Many members have inside connections and can't tell people what they know.
Before I was even a member, the review got in trouble for letting out pics of Romeo 2's before they were allowed. We don't want that to happen again.

The named the new lenses in an ambiguous way, so it's hard to really tell what they'll be like.

Sooo there really is a Uranium Iridium???

No, but the metal theme continues a little more. Another G## lens too, which is actually on the oakley.com tint list and on this site as well. Should have another transition and a gradient which appeared on a recent Asian fit model, but will go into general releases.

Have there been any other, known, factory customs floating about?

Wait and see.

We'll see.

Patience...there will be some new iridiums

Ob speaks the truth.

I made up Uranium Iridium.

Or did I????

Topaz is going to be tough to even conjure in your heads; especially as it comes in too many natural hues, from silver, rich browns to reds, yellows, greens and violet.



Uranium, however, can only truly be thought of as a rich green:



But, when, and if, these lenses make it to the cutting room floor: will we be surprised or let down - as Tungsten isn't bringing rave reviews, sadly; with all that hype.

It'd better not be another brown otherwise I'll put Jannard in a head lock.

Jason, do you think that JJ is responsible for all that Oakley makes,produce, down to every details ??

I understand that you said it in humor, but many people seems to point the finger at him wenever theres something to complain about...

He has is hands full with RED for now on.

Topaz became Tungsten.

How lame is that.

Jason, do you think that JJ is responsible for all that Oakley makes,produce, down to every details ??

Of course not, but who else can I put in a headlock???

He's still the majority owner and I would imagine being the creator of the company would have at least some say in what the company produces.

He's definately got his hands full though, and if you think about how revolutionary the products being created by RED are, then he might not have too much time to worry about every single lense color coming out.

let's pray hope he can still find time to marvel us with new oakley design , colors, etc.
He is the creator, and the Madscientist.

Actually, nowadays, the owner/founder of a company usually has no more pull with their company than any employee does. It's the Board Members/major stock holders that really have a say...

Jim has control of Oakley, you don't have to worry about that.

Well that's damn good to know.
At least not everything changes...

Matt, I hope you're correct with the Uranium Iridium.

Oakley released a lot of bronze (Tungsten, Bronze, Dark Bronze) or green (warm grey, dark grey) based lenses and in my opinion theses tints are very nice. I'm hoping for the release of green Iridium on one of the mentioned bases (and with a Titanium Ir. like "scratch resistant" layer)... maybe my dream comes true now. And if not I'll blame you *lol.

I made up Uranium Iridium.

It's true. I made it up. Promise.
