My GF just told me that she is getting me the Dita's for my birthday!!!

I'm a lucky dude.

Are they available anywhere in the US? And you just get the frames in and have any opto office place some script lenses?

[elclintor]

Well, they are based in Los Angeles.. So yes, they are available..

Im going to go get measured, then order.. I'm sure any optometrist can put lenses in them.

unless I'm missing something…....

[jacoavlu]

Ah, dumb q… All this talk of euros and such and I assumed...

[hectic]

Just realised that Geo looks like Noah Bennet in those Ditas

[elclintor]

If Noah Bennet had a really close haircut….

[Geo]

El - you have a very loving gf!

Any optometrist can provide the lenses

[Seul]

Psshhh… He's got nowt on Geo...

[hectic]

No, you misunderstand, this was to show Jack Coleman that he looks like Geo.

[Seul]

Hahaha - that's more like it!..

[Geo]

Aaah - never watched the show

Kinda relieved it wasn't something worse knowing you guys . . .

[nooblet333]

How's Dita quality wise? Are they pretty durable after a few drops  ???

[Geo]

Well to be honest I never considered throwing them about, but the materials are all of the highest quality and the hardware is well over-specced

Are there glasses (other than safety glasses) made to withstand drops etc?

[Geo]

@hectic:

Universal Univis frames - think they went bust

. . . he does have nice hair though . . .

@Tripleterror:

Some links for us guys 'n' girls in the UK !

http://www.operaopera.net/
http://www.cutlerandgross.com/
http://www.roopevintage.com/

I have some frames from Opera Opera (Harpers), The quality is first class and they're made in the UK.
Cutler & Gross have 2 shops in London, more or less opposite Harrods, one sells their current range & the other sells older & vintage stock. They're about 5 doors apart.
Roope Vintage sell a fantastic variety of frames but I don't think the frames are the best quality compared to the others mentioned.

get some pics up TT - great links . . . never knew Harpers

one lucky bastard right there!…

congrats mate

[Geo]

guys - you seriously have got to invest in some Ditas!!

just took mine down to the local opticians to get glazed up . . . I handed over the case and the (exceedingly lovely) optician opened it up and just said 'oh my . . . !'

she then went through the prescription details, DOB, address etc etc and then took them through to the back office and returned handing me the case saying I should keep hold of it because it might get separated from the glasses.

anyways - got home and thought I would stick another pair of my glasses in the now empty case . . . only to find her home and mobile numbers written on a note inside

result!

• Geo only now realises what the statements such as '46? You're only a couple of years older than me!' and 'that's actually quite close to where I live' actually meant . . . doh!
