What's the difference between Juliet Ducati and Juliet Carbon?

[charlie]

Apart from the red rubber and the etched lens, whats the difference between the Ducatis and the Carbon frames? In pictures they look the same, I cant find a real difference. Is there a different finish on the paint?

No real difference except what you mention and the packaging.

Ducati Juliets = X Metal finish
Carbon Ducati Juliets = Carbon Finish

Don't quote me on this, but i believe the X Metal finish Ducati Juliets were also serialized.

The only differences are:

Packaging
Red Rubbers
Etched Lenses
Older Versions have on Serial Numbers (DUCATIxxxx)

And they have a Carbon Finish and not an X-Metal Finish @SpliceD

You missed this one: http://www.o-review.com/database_detail_colorway.php?ID=1295&table_name=glasses

So it is X-Metal.

Also found this thread discussing it: http://www.oakleyforum.com/threads/x-metal-ducati.12795/page-2

Juliet - X Metal - Black 12-636 has arm serial DUCATI ####
- Carbon - Black 12-673 has no arm serial except pairs sold via the Japanese market
- Carbon - Black 04-159 later '09 issue in revamped box has no arm serial

Yes, most Ducatis were carbon, but there were also x-metal / BI Ducatis. SKU 12-636, produced in 2003/2004.

Missed it out since the picture won't show. Sorry about that

Ok, so the paint finish is the same from what I understand from your comments, so I can basically take any Juliet carbon and change the rubbers for red ones and now I have a Juliet Ducati. I tough that maybe one was a shinier black than the other, but it seems like not. Thanks!

 

[SpliceD]

Not exactly. It's true you can take any carbon frame and put red rubbers on it to make it LOOK like a Ducati (and there's nothing wrong with that. I do custom clones myself), BUT.... you'll also need the etched lenses to be a complete clone.
