Eyesave.com looked like a great site on account of price, at first glance and perhaps if you know what you want it is however with a 15% restocking fee and what they call "Thorough Inspection" i get a little nervous.

There's a pair of Cartiers that I really like, it's the first pair on displayed on the website. The ones you are talking about are the ones with rare wood arms and rimless lenses? Those are beautiful. I think they cost a lot.
yes they are the ones with the rare wood armes and the rest of the frame is made out of platinum. they are medium sized oval lenses. i think they cost around 1500$. well worth it if you ask me. i plan on getting the gold ones as well. they have alot of sportier frames for around 300-500$ made from platinum or gold. these are the cream of the crop when it comes to sporty eyewhere. cartier sunglasses and watches are the best.
A lot of people here would disagree that the watches are the best, but I certainly think they look the best.

I have three pairs of glasses.

I have a pair of Oakley's StraightJackets that are Silver/Black (only wear these when I'm wearing a polo, t-shirt...usually in the summer).
I wear a Pair of Oakley Golf Glasses (for golfing or tennis) that are Gray frames and Orange lenses.

I have a pair of Prada glasses that are Silver and Black lenses. I purchased these while I was in Italy and I have never had glasses fit this well. They are perfect when dressed well.

Also, I just wanted to comment on a previous post. Armani still makes sunglasses, I almost bought a pair last week.

Good point -

I didn't actually buy mine from them - I was just using the link for the picture. I got mine at Costco for even cheaper...
