    Guys I am contemplating of getting one as a Christmas gift for myself, do you think shelling out 17K for an Oakley Juliet worth it? I can’t stop thinking about it ever since I saw the pair on a sunglass store hehehe.

    If it will make you happy and is within your properly allocated budget, then go for it! :D

    As of this moment, I am wearing an Oakley prescription glasses. A testament to how much I'm satisfied with its products.

    they are some of the best "engineered" sunglasses on the market. as far as function and durability (especially if you need sunglasses for sports) they have no equal.

    but no, they're not worth 17k. a big part of that money is marketing.

    btw, i bought a pair of Juliets the first week they came out (kasabay ng movie na Mission Impossible 2) so i bought into the marketing also

    Wala akong ibang mahanap na maganda ang style when it comes to prescription glasses. Every year qualified ako sa new glasses. Ever since then, may tatlo na akong Oakley.

    And yes, they are worth the money, IMHO

    Tag Heuer is pretty smooth sir schnitserz4, but I’m leaning over to Oakley's design for the mean time, thanks for your suggestion anyway

    i agree. the great thing about sunglass companies like oakley and revo is that they put a lot of R&D into their lenses, tint and frames. so at least you're paying for the best functionality as well as some style/porma.

    i can't comment on the tags since i've never seen them but i've seen super-expensive sunglasses from gucci, armani, etc. where you don't know what you're buying over the standard optical shop sunglasses.

    for me, the price of the oakley juliet i bought is well worth it. its sturdy, the lens are great for everyday use. although due to its metallic (titanium) frame, it gets hot during prolonged exposure under the sun (ie beach).

    ive got one complaint though - the lens gets easily scratched. nun una maingat pa ako, pero later on nung madami ng gasgas, pinapabayaan ko na. maybe you shouldnt get the iridium coated lens, baka less sensitive sa scratches.

    i only had one pair of oakleys, i used them to play golf. those were the old days when you could get them for P5000.

    for me, definitely not worth it. since i am renovating my house. P17,000 can buy a brand new no frost two door refrigerator na from Panasonic.

    Depends lang sa priorities mo. if you have a family na or will have one in the near future, i am sure you will find lots of other uses for tha kind of money.

    kung baga, it is a luxury item. if you have to ask if it is worth it, then most likely it isn't.

    but, it's your money, so go ahead and do what you want with it. but during these hard times, i would rather have P17,000 sitting in my bank account rather than perched on the bridge of my nose.
