three ray ban questions

[lachlanf]

1. Do RB2132 wayfarers have a less acute (as is closer to a right angle) angle between their lens and arm than the RB2140s?

2. What is the purpose of the flex in the RB2113 hinges, and otherwise are these glasses the same shape as the RB2132s?

3. How hard is it to source 150mm arms for wayfarers? does anyone know a site stocking glasses with these longer arms?

An answer to any of these questions would be awesome

cheers

I would like to help but I'll be damned if I know what you're on about.

I hope for your own sake that this is not a prelude to some spam. Lately, alot of Rayban spams are popping up purportedly selling authentic ones when they are in fact counterfeits.

If this were genuine, then I would guess that the flex hinges are meant to accomodate the putting on of the glasses without straining the frames, especially on a larger cranium.

If you require long temples, try a more accomodating bayonet temple style. If you are concerned about sizing, these are issues you want addressed in a physical store.

You would think that a physical store would be the go, but in fact the stores in australia have extremely random selections, and for a completely unknown reason the australian distributor doesn't even bring in the larger 54mm/55mm models :s... so, since I have a big head, I'm forced online

. I can probably answer the first question in a shop (maybe better worded as 'do new wayfarers have the same lens-arm angle as the original wayfarers?) but not the second part of the second (are new wayfarers and flex wayfarers the same lens shape?) and the last one I have no hope at the physical shops

If you have a big head like me I suggest getting the RB2140s
