@Kasi well I don't buy much of them. only have 2 sunnies and 1 pair of prescription glasses now. might think of getting one more, but won't be too soon.

Maybe a longshot but has anyone purchased from Silver Deer in Mexico? Going on vacation next week and was hoping to grab some sunglasses, but on their website everything is significantly($200+) more expensive than elsewhere. Their Iron Heart prices seem to be more in line. Wondering if it'll be more normal priced in store / if I'm getting a more expensive price because I'm shopping online from the US.

In my past trips to Mexico I usually end up paying a bit less than I would shopping in the US, so I end up putting off larger splurge purchases until I'm there!

Premium luxury goods tend to be way more expensive in Mexico, in my experience. Especially in Mexico City, the folks who are shopping high end can and do pay the premium.

I've actually had pretty good luck with the opposite in recent years! Usually end up paying slightly less in retail and getting the ~6-10% VAT tax refund at a lot of the luxury stores.

Either way, ended up grabbing a pair of Torino's online last night. Cooler heads prevailed and I opted for a black frame, but I can't stop thinking about the Reserve pair...

I will see what my local dealer in Perth has when I go back. could get -10%VAT when I leave the country..

Gradually making good friends with my tortoise + green lenses Dealan. I admit JMMs are different enough from any of my previous sunnies that it has taken me a bit to reach out for them in auto mode.

Look great

@motojobobo if I had a pair that looked like that I’d reach out for them in my sleep.

[motojobobo]

Thanks for the encouragement @Matt and @Jcaz6996 . They are surprisingly comfy given their hefty appearance and don’t feel heavy while wearing them.

Two day shipping from Italy to California never ceases to amaze me! Really happy with these. They’re big…. but I have a big head.

My girlfriend was giving me shit for how much I spent, but when they arrived she only had good things to say which is always encouraging.

The only thing I can’t decide is if I keep the blue lenses or switch them for black or maybe even green.

looks like a good score @october-rust

nice keep the blue lens my opinion

[october rust]

Thanks fellas. Going to try them out with the blue tomorrow and see how they do in the sun

Probably have met my quota for sunglsses for the next few years

Grabbed the Abyss Molino in Mexico at Silverdeer, and fell in love with the Dealan 53 and found a pair in Agar online.

The blue lenses in the Torinos I previously posted are currently getting replaced with a G15 lens. Ultimately the blue just didn’t give me enough sun blockage to be practical for daily wear.

[Matt]

Very cool.

[T.J.]

Got some new Molino today. I’m not sure about fit and colorway. My first Molino were 55. These are the Standard ones.

[Giles]

Personally, I love those....
