Haha, nice. Do they have any indication of who they're made by?

I've ordered these Armani's...

****, I need these Bartons. Where to kop?


NM, found them at sunglass city for 430. The java/sequoia is my favorite.

I received a pair of new wayfarers as a gift. I love it except I wish it was polarized. Turns out they don't make tortoise brown with polarized lens. Is there a way I can get someone to put the lens in for me?

Anyone know the lens/bridge measurements on the BP Swindler? Don't see the Swindler on their site.

62x14x133 according to http://www.thekickitspot.com/2009/04...nglasses-mine/

Hopefully they have a Barton Perreira sale on Gilt soon.

Hmm...out of curiosity, I stopped into my eye doctors place at lunch (its nextdoor to my office).

The price on a pair of ray ban caravans with prescription lenses and polarization with my insurance covering most of the frames and all of the lenses (plus $62 for polarized) came to slightly more than opticsplanet.net

Is optics planet a scam (doubt it) or is the store just a ripoff (pretty sure of it)? Can I get my insurer to cover the glasses when they are bought online?

No problem, they are Giorgio Armani GA 574/S. Two weeks delivery time for me though, so I haven't got them yet.

How much is "slightly more?" I'd say if it's within $30, I'd choose the certainty and support of your eyeglass place.

Has anybody ever had any experience with the Ray Ban Tech series?

Thanks
