Can someone recommend a seller of Persol sunglasses online? Preferably one that carries the smaller size frame than what is usually stocked retail. I believe these have to be special ordered usually by retailers.

Thanks.

All online retailers special order any sunglasses. They don't stock anything. Most orders only take a day or three though. My Persols, on the other hand, have been backordered at Persol for 3 weeks.

whenever doing business on an unknown website, I always check www.resellerratings.com. You can plug in the domain or store name in question and read customor reviews. A lot of times I've found that unbelievable prices are in fact too good to be true. It looks like framesdirect has scored a 6.11/10 lifetime rating.

I noticed that Persol has Havana frame which is similar to Tortoise,are these two terms the same thing?Is Havana different from Tortoise or is it just another name for tortoise?

I bought mine from Framesdirect. Don't remember exact time of delivery but it was done in a very acceptable time (1 week?) Make sure you click on the SF sponsorship link to support the forum.

Not to further sidetrack but sizes do you all have for the temple? I bought a pair off ebay and was surprised when 135 didn't fit. For the 2720-S the default size is 130 on framesdirect's site. Am I just SOL?

Just received my 2869s today from Otticanet.com, based in Italy. Took about 3 days to get to LA with shipping cost of $11.00. Otticanet had the best prices I found on the internet. They're on eBay too where, strangely, their per item and shipping costs are a few dollars higher than on their own website.

I bought mine on ebay about 2 months ago. Came with everything, fast shipping, brand new and authentic, for over $100 cheaper than normal retail.
