Anyway thanks a lot for the help. These glasses are indeed amazing and worth the money. cya around and do drop me a msg if you swing by sg.. Can have a meal together.

Ordered the Randolph aviators with the small lens, gun metal frames, and grey polarized lens. We shall see!

[Giles]

Good call.  I have enough sunnies to sink a small battleship, but I think I need some Randolphs…..

The spring on the right ear of my newest Dior snapped - this was after 3 wears or so… No idea how I managed to do so... Anyway: a friendly fella at a small optician's glued it... Here's to hoping it'll stick...

Persol - best money can buy ..

[Guest]

^Is that actually true?

[Takeshi]

in my eyes yes , I've owned so many brands , Persol are class ..

[Megatron1505]

I agree with that assessment, although I have never owned any Dita. I believe G has both, so perhaps he could give his opinion?

[Giles]

Persol are brilliant and  Mme B and I have a number of pairs, but Dita are seriously next level….When I took mine in to get prescription lenses fitted, I thought I'd never get them back, the optician was enthralled....

[Megatron1505]

What is it that makes them next level G? I'm genuinely interested for my next pair of frames.

[Megatron1505]

Also, would these make me look like an escaped mental patient?

Also, speaking as someone who know nothing about Dita frames, are these Dita frames?

One of the simple things is the shape of the arms, they are almost impossible (at least for me) so shake off or have slip down my nose.  The hinges are brilliant.  The overall quality of craftsmanship is more apparent on my Statesman than my Ramblers, but this is because the construction and materials are more complex.  I needed my Statesman tweaked recently and went into "The Eye Company" in Wardour Street, I could have walked out with a dozen pairs, there is something about the designs that I really really love.  (And they are made in Japan)

Play with mine when you are here….

[Giles]

Take a look at this, you will see how the arms thicken at the end….
