@hectic:

Picked up a new pair of prescription Maui Jim's today (model: Akamai), what'd you think?

"I'll be back" -Terminator

I think they're rad!

[Giles]

The hinges on my first pair corroded in the salt water environment I usually fish in, so I use Costa Del Mar with 580 lenses now when fishing in the tropics:

I've got about 5 pairs, never ever had an issue with them.  Well of course, I've had user problems.  Often when we are motoring from a to b, I pop them up on the rim of my cap, trouble is at 40 knots, the wind will get under the beak of the cap and blow the cap off.  The cap floats, Costas don't…...........

Gold accents really work Geo.

Ta for feedback everyone.

[bertoni]

Sweet mudder of god Geo…things of beauty they are indeed. Where can I cast my eyes over these (maybe in black?)?

[Geo]

You can view them at ditalegends

They do them in 5 or 6 variations

[elclintor]

I am speechless Geo!

Amazing.. Now i have to get them..

What size did you get? I think the come in three different sizes right?

I'm not sure how to measure my noggin for eyeglasses..  Any suggestions?

1st picture in this thread is of the black ones bertoni.

[bertoni]

Oh didn't notice that, thanks El! Think i'd prefer a silver nose bridge and rim bottoms. All black looks cool but the quality of the workmanship really shows with the gold, or if possible silver, parts like those on Geos pair. Just my opinion mind

[hectic]

Any use elcintor: http://www.selectspecs.com/info/frame-measurements/ ?

[Geo]

El they are 52-20s (52 is the lens width in mm, 20 is the bridge in mm)

No good way to choose a size other than try on (hectics link is pretty good) - but you could go to opticians and try similar to see what frame size is best
