Sunglasses

[TeeJay]

About 10 years ago, I had a pair of Raybans (the same as Snipes wore on the DVD Cover of Blade (Not the ones he wore in the movie)) and they fell apart within 6 months. And I do mean fell apart. Just about every screw and joint opened. They were utter garbage. When X-Men came out, I bought a pair of Juliets. Barring a few lens scratches, and some tightening required, they are in as good condition as the day I bought them.

I think people who are so familiar with gen stuff, they are knowledged (and obsessed ) with it that they are able to tell a gen from a rep just by 'feeling' it. Thats some talent right there...

Only gens for me too.... Mostly Revo and Serengetti... got a nice pair of Oakley a while back too

I got a pair of titanium Serengettis after having laser surgery

And I guess marketing and advertising in a film like X-Men definitely helped Oakleys sales!

You can get replacement lenses for about $50. Or just send them into Oakley for a 'tune-up' where they replace the lenses, change the unobtanium and tighten up the flex couplers and the frame screws.

Persol for me, since getting a pair last year, quality is fantastic. Its also a "brand" that is not as common as others

Ohhh did I forget to mention that Bond wears them!!!
