Damn. I thought it would be available locally. I'm looking for something like this for work. Something thats matt black/grey. Rectangular and looks very "professional""??

haha. Speaking of which. Are those brand name shops good to go? Like optics point optical88 etc etc. Or just stick with neighbourhood shops for the best price?

i am intending to get a Tag Heuer spec but i got friend using the reflex rubber de but the rubber condition like quite jialat after 1year+ of use.... Any other brand to recommend?

Also any place to recommend which can get a good price for Tag Heuer spec? the best i got was from Optic Capitol as they having promo that giving free essilor lens (polycarbonate one i think as they say is unbreakable one) when purchase any of the Tag Heuer frame. but their frame is ~$50 higher den some of the shop i went to... but overall is still consider much cheaper.

I used to have reflex. COnsidering it is rubber, yes it will spoil or discolored after a while. My specs actually broke off at the bent area. I talked to an optician when I was overseas, he said a lot of his customers exchanged their reflex because spoilt. I think the carbon should be better, but the price is silly.

Oh dear.
Anyone knows if track series suffers from the same wear and tear problem?

yea I also find only the reflex tag heuer is nice, the rest not really. Although I don't have much luck with Tag, I broke my reflex, my gf lost her Zenith I gave.

I am wearing Staffan Preutz Infinity now, the lightest eyewear I ever had.

being owner of 3 tag eye wears (2 reflex and 1 track), let me share my experience ... like all glasses, wear and tear is inevitable.. and average life span for my tag is about 2 years.. before i start looking for a newer model. ...
usually the first couple of months, i treat the tag spec with care, after that i wear it for sports hence all the sweat and perspiration will cause the rubber to be sticky and accelerate the wear and tear ...

so how long the spec will last you will eventually depends on how you take care of it.

i do agree that the wire inside the temples will snap due to excessive bending ..the good thing is that there is 2 years warranty so you can always bring it back to the optical shop to get them to send it back to the distributor to get it replace. mind u, its aint cheap once the warranty is over, one pair of the temples will cost around $280!! that is as good as making a new pair of glasses!

why i like tag, reason being that the flexible temple do not give me headache like other brands of eyewear....hence i been making tag ever since i got it 5 years ago..on and off i still make other brands like japonism, hugo, D&G, oakley ...but tag is still my first choice daily wear!

my first pair is still wearable, the second one is chiu...and the third one i just got it like 3 months back.

although there are those wanna-be brand in the mkt nowadays but tag is currently still my preferred choice. U gotta give them the credit to come up with such avant garde design then..

Just wondering about EMI coatings.. nowadays with most screens being LCDs, not the old crt type.. does EMI still have an effect for those who use PC for a long period of time? Was thinking my new pair dont want extra EMI coating..
