Post your sunglasses! (56k need not apply) - Page 4

Alright. The colours are essentially dark green or dark brown. I would recommend dark brown for driving. I'll look for prices right now.

The cheapest I can find, cheaper than eBay, is $123.

Polarized goes for around $150-$160. They don't have gunmetal + black in anything but polarized, but I say these are pretty good choices.

This post is for BaB because he wanted pictures.

Newest addition - Oakley Eyepatch. Yarr. I was in Sunglass Hut today with Typhoid and saw these, and they were SUPER cheap, so I broke down and bought them. (There goes the rest of my dividend.

)

The fact green wasn't normally available on the website, and the little pirate icon sold me right there.

I've been trying to find a pair of Ocelot-like sunglasses, to no avail.

I could take a picture of my glasses, but the price of the picture would probably be worth more than the glasses.

Hint: They're the $3 - wait - less than $3 kind.

Those are a similar style to mine, very nice!

Ray-Ban 3343 Polarized.

Cost me €121 (discounted from €179). Color: Gunmetal Green Crystal.

Bube · 08-30-2008, 12:08 PM

So those are the sunglasses we've heard so much about! The glasses look nice, and they also look nice on you

Here's mine - I asked my dad to buy me a pair of Ray-Ban aviators on his recent trip to S. Korea.

I forgot to add that I specifically didn't want the gold one. And unfortunately, I got the gold one. I think it looks a bit weird, but I've grown to like it. And I like the way it looks on my face.

Very nice for a metal style! Sorry I wasn't around this weekend, but it looked like you ended up with a really good polarized pair.

Nice, gold looks fine. The updated-aviator shape looks great too.

Angrist · 09-03-2008, 03:55 PM

Thanks. I'm still very content with them. (Because I had to buy them in such a rush, I was afraid I would regret it a bit.

And Bube, those are cool. Look good on you.

Bube · 09-14-2008, 04:28 PM

I replaced the gold ones. Even though I got positive comments on the pair, I just couldn't like the way they shone on my face. So I got a black pair. It's just a bit different than the gold one, but I think it's much much better.

Angrist · 09-14-2008, 05:47 PM

I'd have to see them in close-up. I really don't think those gold ones looked bad on you, but hey, it's your preference that matters.

I got my glasses customized. The arms were too long, the glasses slided down my nose. So they changed the arms (I think they melted them). But they're still not perfect, when I don't keep my head up, or when I'm sweaty, they slide down. Then the sun shines over the glasses, into my eyes.

Also, they rest on a spot of my nose that's not very comfortable. Not on the bone, but on the cartilage.

(Sorry if that was not very pretty English. Technical talks like that are always a bit hard in a second language.)

I just realized that I never posted a picture of me wearing my sunglasses. Here one is. They are Oakley Whiskers with polarized lenses.

The shape was perfect, I agree. But I just couldn't see myself wearing gold, I just don't like the way it seems to show itself off. I like being subtle

This new one's a bit more tear-drop shaped, and doesn't look as good on my face as the other one (just a bit, imo) but the way it looks on me, as a package, is much better.

the best part is, he gave me the gold one

i didn't pay anything, and i'm surely not going to, as i didn't ask for them, he just gave 'em

and if you are not blind, you can see me taking the picture with my web-cam

edit: omg, my first picture on GT

Angrist · 09-16-2008, 04:48 AM

Haha, nice.

Who's older, Bube or Nighthawk?
