contact HQ and see if they have some lying around. They very well may have some, otherwise, gold. nothing else would even fit right in the color of the leather and all...

I think Titanium would look nice (in combination with the few silver parts).

Gold Clear or a gradient lens would make those pure pimp

update:
i got them back yesterday.

the frame got new screws, new nose pads, and the earstems were thighten up.







now the quest for some new lenses..

gold clear sure souds nice, now i have to get a warden lens and hack it up, it is a realy thight fit.

maybe it is going to be a gold iridium frome a monsterdoggle, or m frame, or a dark bronz of the oil drum..

what you guys think..?

Stick with something from a spherical lens, since it's not going to be very forgiving.

Anything with a dual lens. (Except for the Gascan type ones since those are cut from a single lens). The Warden should work well if you go with that.

well i thought in bringing this thread back to life noe last time i hope...

i went this week to another opd which carried some lenses some time back ant to my amaze i went looking and founf gold....

Marcel,

That combo is blazingly fresh. Very rarely are +Red lenses the soothing and cooler part of a combo, but you’ve done it here.

You were blessed with a gift from the O lens gods and you did not waste it. Very nice.

after 3 years, and four months and almost 2 weeks, the project is done.

i could fit the blk iridium lenses when i found them at the store, yesterday i got a bag full of nos lenses from a friend from the same store, these were going to be trashed.

i got the bag, and found the same old original nos, blk iridium sq wire lens, well.. i installed them today . here it is.

BEAUTIFUL!

I'd leave the rootbeer socks. They go with the brown leather.
