I recently got a pair of Ray-Ban RB5023A specs... and they're as geeky as they come. Can't find a pic online but they look somewhat similar to the newer RB5145

I recently bought a bespoke pair of chunky black acetate glasses from E.B. Meyrowitz in Paris. The store in NYC might have some similar ready-to-wear pairs. The quality appears to be top-notch.

I believe I've seen a pic of you in those. They're marsupialed big.
