Oakley X-Metal XX Nosebridge Tune Up Service and X-Metal Color Frame Refinish [NB-RRX]

I've had my X-Metal XX for about 12 years. When I bought them, they were the only thing I wore and I wore them like crazy. As time progressed, they started to show signs if being tired and used. I called Oakley and asked if there was a way to fix them, but no. The flex coupler rubber in the nose bridge was pretty much gone, the frames where worn, and just looked sad! So I put them away and kept them away. Fast forward to November 2018: I pretty much decided that I was going to sell them because there was nothing else I can do. But before that, I decided to look around to see if I can find a way to fix them myself. As I looked around, I found LINEGEAR. I looked around their site and they sold all the things to fix them myself. AWESOME, right? Well, As I was getting things in my cart, I saw that they have this "Nose Bridge and Frame Refinish" service. I looked at the what the service entailed and with a little thinking, I decided to go for it. I was skeptical because of having to send my precious XX's to Japan,so I decided to talk to someone there and I started to speak with Liu Liyun and let me start off by saying that they were very nice, kind, and helped me with with all the questions that I had. After some thinking, I decided to go for it. I decided to get everything that I needed for the glasses: new rubber set, temple and orbital screws (because one if the screws was stripped), and lenses so I can get my XX's back to new as possible. As in the description for the service, they refinish the frame, replace the Pins (rivets), temple washers, and the flex coupler. After I placed my order, in the comments I let them know what I bought and that all the items that I purchased I wanted them to go onto my frames. I sent my XX's on 11/2/18 and got them back 11/20/18. They say it can take about 2-3 weeks for them to complete the work. It took a total of 18 days from when I sent them till I received them back. And when I open the package, WOW!!! I couldn't be more ecstatic and happier than the day I originally bought them! I am truly in awe in the job that LINEGEAR did with my frames, their customer service, and turnaround time. Also, anything that gets replaced, gets sent back to you and they separate the screws, rubber pieces, and lenses little plastic bags. Plus, they label each bag with the description of the item!!! If you want to do it yourself, you definitely can do it, but if you want to try and get them as new as possible, this service is the best way to go! I know for a fact that as long as I have my XX's, LINEGEAR will definitely have me as a customer for life. Thank you LINEGEAR for amazing craftsmanship, attention to detail, and letting me wear and keep my XX's for a long long time to come! -Saul
