X Metal Half X

[Nuke_Boy]

Hello Everyone!
I was not aware that there was a community/forum dedicated to Oakley sunglasses. Had I know, I would've shared my knowledge about the Penny Sunglasses that I bought back in 2003. I still have the original box, receipt, copper coin, lenses (though I have replaced the originals ice blue set for OEM black Iridium lenses). They are mostly for display now (after 20 years, I've gained some weight and the glasses don't look as good on me anymore

Anyhow, I did buy a pair of used X Metal Half X from ebay, and I have a question regarding this new set. The sunglasses show a vertical indentation on the nose bridge (facing out), it seems to me that it is a defect. Also, the sunglasses are not serialized, which makes me believe that these set of Half X sunglasses are in deed Oakley, but weren't serialized because of the defect. Does anyone know anything about this indentation? Is it a defect, or is it a different generation?

Thank you everyone!

All looks good to me but I have not spent allot of time with HX's

Half X do not have serial numbers as they came out later down the line after Oakley stopped with the SN thing and went to sku or nothing at all.

Welcome!

Yeah, I noticed that all other pictures that I've found on line do not show the indentation. Here is an example.

Not there by design... could be something that occured in molding or someone tried to bend it ... who knows what did that

Welcome. I have them in black. No SN and no indentation

I’ve never seen that on any X-Metal, do you have pics from the side and back of the glasses? I’m suspecting they’re either broken or fake. Or maybe @dragonvoi has seen something like this before

Looks like a bend, but my experience with x metals is limited to wearing them for a few months and then losing them to a lake, so
