Long long time ago when larrikin is distro for Oakley, already don't have life time warrenty. It's changed to 1 year internationmal warrenty with extended servicing. emans they will change nose pad and ear socks for their frames only.

Changing nose pads and ear socks does not cover their sunglass range.

Luxottica now fully taken local distro for oakley.

Prices very stiff.. cant do much. they dont keep much stocks in SG. normally ppl wait 4-8 weeks to get their orders from overseas. Frames quality honestly dropped. But due to its branding and shapes, still quite high demand for them.

Just the way it is.. Its like if u want a spefic model, wait for 2 months pls. if u don't like them, no problem.. they have lots of other customers scouring for them.

Maybe i'm a little harsh or bias but this is what i feel recently at a retailer and consumer point of view. Larrikin offer supports but i would say, there are rooms for improvments..

But Luxottica's support.. i feel it's kind of far from what Larrikin offers. Hope is due to the changing of distro recently. hope it gets better.

Called up the new Oakley agent,asking about the Juliet replacement lens.i was told that they no longer sell it!!! that's ridiculous !! It is still listing in Oakley US web.Luckily I have friend going state soon,can ask him to buy.

What colour Juliet replacement lens do you need? I am selling my Juliet Lens because I replaced it with prescription.

oakley frames are heavy, inflexible and are not comfy to wear for long. The only good thing about oakley is the earsocks & soft nose pads.

 

[Seannie]

They do. i think all Capitol outlets carry Sillhouette as the Supplier is closely linked to Capitol group.

you are a liar. you wasted my trip to go down to capitol optical and check & they do not have silhouette models that i wanted.

Sorry bro,will get it from states as my friend flew there already.

 

[striker22]

No worries. If you haven't changed the lens before, you would need a torx screw driver (star shape head). Somehow the X-metal use very different screws from others.

I believe the Juliets will become collector's item soon if they stopped production. The Romeos have been discontinued.

if thats true, its gonna suck. my juilet is 7 years old and previous ice iridium polarized lens had its flim coming off. gt a overseas friend sent to their local oakley agent for foc replacement. ice is out of stock so i picked up a black ird polarized instead..

they dont have action styled & intarsia. if optical 88 doesnt have them, i should have known that capitol apparently wont have them as well, since asian distributors are all so boring, only choose the most boring models to be distributed to asia whilst europe side gets the best models. Just cant understand believe it. Their economy is already ailing, and gg to be in the doldrums for decades to come, how to expect consumers will buy? They should have just bring in all the best models to our asia side to sell, im sure many could afford it here. Yet most of the specs models that i saw here are mediocre. This is disappointing. Im wondering whether there is a bias to asia or simply that the distributors just dont know what to choose for the consumer market. Sucks!

Hi all experts, I just bought a P.Starck rimless frame from overseas. Looking for a suitable clear plastic/polycarbonate lens. My power is sph 50, cyc 150 and spy 75, cyc 200.

Can anyone flag out the options & recommendation for a budget below $200/-. Thanks!!

So i didnt lie as they DID carry Sillihouette. U only asked if they carry.

i asked whether capitol have the silhouette models action-styled & intarsia and u replied yes, that they carry.

u trying to say u are looking for a specific range from Sillihouette?

Did u ask the capitol guys to talk to supplier to get it shipped here?

While i was still working with them, i brought in 1 model which was not available in SG for customer (at that time, the suppiler made some arrangements for me)

How to check whether my lens are crizal or not?

 

[darthduckie]

there is a fine imprint of the word crizal on the lenses just keep flasing the lenses under lighting on and off you should be able to see.
