      I have no idea and its not important for me anyway but I think they are approx the same except for the bigger eye size and the much thicker frame in the mccoy

          I think they look cool. The glare on the lens kinda throws it off a little in the pic. Nice pick up D.

            The nose bridge is the biggest difference I see between the two.

            Big D, you always know how to make it work for you, and as usual I'm sure you'll look like 2 million plus bucks in these 🙂 😘

                Right on, I think snowy hit the characteristic I was seeing in them the bridge reminds me very much my older style "pre-compact fold" McQueen persols. It is a very cool look, after all Steve McQueen wore the same type frame…. How could it not be cool?? but those look much heavier constructed than even the vintage mcqs

                    Yeah 48mm isn't that large. They are normal proportions, just super thick acetate.

                    Those are awesome man nice score.

                    Think it, be it.

                      Oh wow, yeah they are actually a bout 1-3mm smaller in all directions than my vintage McQueens, but I agree that beefy frame compensates and gives a similar size appearance. Nice D

                                  Really like the jacket Davito. (I'm off to Google it)

                                  The picture behind you on the wall is very interesting. An octocopter with a camera?

                                    Nice observation V! Close up certainly makes it look so. Really odd (but cool) print.

                                      Veloaudio thx man. Yes its an octocopter with a cam. They use it sometimes in our neighbourhood for taking nice pics high up in the air and display purposes for interested people as our personal data law is pretty strict. You are not allowed just flying around and taking pics of everybody.

                                        so accept for denim (maybe 1oz heavier), is there any significant difference between the JMC-991 and the JMC-991XH?

                                        really keeps me busy. can't see a difference in construction or anything else though!
