Those Rover Plazas are sweet. I had a hard time deciding between those, Agar, and Argyle colors. Ended up with the Argyle for opticals. Happy with the choice but I’m nearly always second guessing myself when it comes to JMM.

I usually wait to sneak a discount online but I bought the new Union in eclipse as soon as they released on jmm. It’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for, a soft huge square. Right up there with Yves for me.

I have a Fellini in rover. I really like it (except for the fact it doesn’t have exposed hardware on the temple), but I also feel I don’t need another rover.

I too struggled with second guessing. I Went from molino->belize->-Saburo->plaza->Enzo->Wagram. Of all those - i stuck with Plaza, Enzo, Wagram, and Saburo. So much of what I've been hunting for is an "all in one" frame where I could just dump some transitional lenses and be done with it. However, it's clear to me that you can't really have that unless you just have a decent face ratio and a good balance of sharp and smooth features.

I am fairly biased and really just love any hue of green and blue in general. I find it to be more conservative as a color choice. However, the fact that it is 10mm acetate and thick makes it a statement piece. The exposed wire core also adds to that opulence. In a Challenger, it would most certainly be striking. Volvox, is quite a color as well and is more challenging to get right with the appropriate lens choice if it needs to be rx'd.

Praying that they come out with Enzo's in Vermillion, Vintage Tort (not a chance in hell probably), Lotus, and maybe a black fade or rover fade. I think I would be happily done with a collection of JMM sunglasses.

I like both, exposed and hidden wire, but I'm glad that the Challenger has the latter. Would prefer solid green temples though instead of clear edges.
