Dunno if we have this thread in here but I had a question so... Now we do.

Is it common for the back of the interior of a doublewide to be mirrored?

Old or new tower?

Old - Not that i know of

New - Can't really say.

I think they can be customized (or ordered that way)..I have seen many in the Vaults with mirrors on the sides but mine do not...

There was a prototype of the newer displays that had a mirror in the back of it, and on the old ones O-Stores hand them retro fitted with mirrors on the sides. Thats the only mirrors in the cases that I know of.

Thanks!

Didn't realize it til I got it in the basement this weekend but the back is actually mirrored. Should be a really cool effect.

At Paramus we were sent Mirrors about 2 years ago and told to install them on the interior back of the towers. When looking at the display from the interior it looks real cool and customers do not have to walk around the side to see what the eye ware looks like on them but when looking at the mirror from the back through the Plexiglas the reflection is distorted, real bad when trying to promote HDO.

Was thinking its about time to do an update of my display/collection. Havent done one in my new place and have all my stuff quite close together so nearly an "oakley room" but not quite, was thinking instead of tons of pictures might be easier to do a video?

However dunno how I go about putting that on here, as I definately dont want it anywhere near youtube or anything public. This is for VIP's eyes only.
Would it need to be under a certain file size?

please let me know your thoughts.

If you make a Youtube video unlisted, it's pretty well protected unless someone had the exact link, or you embed it.

I've decided to test this collection display video idea.
Well, it does not look exactly like I would have liked but it's still nice to see something different than the usual pictures.

I'll try something smoother and cleaner next time.

Looking good.... can't believe you were wearing the OTT's while you filmed that. Nice!

That's pretty badass bro! Nice!

Cool video, Francois. Love them Mars.

Does anyone know the official name to this display case? It's about the same height as a Cube 3.0 but 1.5x its length/width.

Retail Wall display cube, long. (at least that is what my brain is remembering)

Very cool. Thanks, Brandon!

Another case added to my wish list.

Very cool Francois. Agreed Oak, another cube added to my wish list as well.

Nice! I love how it slides out. Cool stuff.

Yeah looks good& well-made: much easier to merchandise/set it up with that sliding...

Does anyone have any concrete background on this coin? It was supposedly given away HQ attendees and at the launch of the X-metals. I'd like to confirm if this is true.

I wish I did Oak. I saw that puppy on ebay and was wondering about it. It seems like it would be a cool piece to have based off of what the ebay description said. I believe it mentioned that these coins were given at the groundbreaking or grand opening of O's HQ.

The timeline could make sense, since Oakley did move into Interplanetary HQ in 1996 (I think?). The coin could've been a commemorative christening gift. But it's the X-metal logo that's got me confused. If they were christening HQ, I'd figure they'd use the regular ellipse logo since X-metal really wasn't released to the public until about February 1997 (ie. logo is fairly new and not recognized), which is why I'm wondering if the coin is just an X-metal "kickoff" gift at some launch party.

EDIT: My mistake, they moved into the Foothill Ranch HQ in early 1997.

Oakley's going wild with their cube 3.0s. We've seen the regular one, the long version, and now here's the mini cube (for lack of a better term):

Am clearing out the cupboards/drawers on my displays trying to make more room and find out which pairs have their boxes.

this is not fun!

have pics of the mess if someone wants me to email them and post the here.

Send it on over!

You call that a mess? LOL. You should see the damage I can do! :-D That said, my eye is transfixed on your 0.1 box! Awesome stuff all around.

its more of a mess now! i had to pull all those tidy ones to check they didnt have frosgskin boxes inside them......

i didnt even know i had boxes for some of these, found 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3P not to mention original eyeshade boxes.....
