i have 2 black ott's but both are matte black, does anyone know if they made a polished black ott. i just got 2 polished black ott's and was wondering if they were customs or what? they look identicle to the matte set but just polished. so i believe they are real. they have the same holes and everything. anyone know anything about them?? here is a picture. also anyone know where to get ott lenses, thanks for the help guys.

by the way not sure if i should put this in a diff. section.

chriss now that is a find.. could they have been repainted or are they movie props ? nice man. and about the lenses i think you should ask keystone to see if they can cut it.

congrats

you can get ott lenses at hq...

Matte black with a clear-coat sprayed on perhaps? From the pic, it doesn't seem to really be 'polished black' that we are used to.

yes, it is not really polished black but not a clear coat or repaint. at least it does not seem like it. it is more like a shiny not polished black. hard to describe.

Hmm....I was about the say the same thing. It does look like a custom job.

from looking at all the other ott's i have, it kinda looks like these 2 i just got are a before final finish product. i think these might be from before they put the matte, fmj or whatever finish on them. just a guess though

they are fake, just send them to me , and i will get rid of them....
lol

Matte Black has generations like everything else. The OTT's ended up with a smoother matte finish.

Yeah, if you compare what would've been a Matte Black Minute or Twenty, it's smooth and no where near the rubbery looking Matte texture you see on frames currently.

Also the black can look like that after is has been handled a lot, its caused by body oils. Which from the photos those look to have been well loved (used).

could be from the diff. generations but really do not think it is from use. i have some matte black dogs that i used for work and they are very well used and not like these at all.

well loved matte black.

Aren't Matte frames made by powder coating the mold? Could've been an end of the line run.
