And if u dunnoe how to tok sakti, no matter hw sakti u look oso no use de...

[ahboy82]

Depending on what you're looking for, there's japanese brands like yellows plus, japonism, 999.9, dun, kio yamato, matsuda

western brands with more 'executive'/business look and specialized more in metal: ic berlin, mykita, gotti, bywp, orgreen, markus t. Stay away from the 'authorized' ic berlin shop in toa payoh though, bad service.

Because of the market trend in acetate, not as many quality metal frame brands in SG.

i prefer plastic frames. looking for a black pair. with no nose pads.

Just for the lens only. Is crizal airwear 1.6 $180 a good price to make?

Not too bad. I would say it is pretty good if it isn't too thick. (High degree)

Btw, anyone have any reviews on the eyewear brand, garrettleight, and Oliver people?

 

[kingcarlos]

anyone bought opticals from Eye@work at millenia walk before? Planning to get salt optics or cutler&gross from them

 

[noinimod]

Prices there are steep, at least for the mikli and mykita stuff I saw, compared to other places. I don't know where else stocks Salt and cutler though

hmm ic. Spectacle culture also stock i think. its just that eyes@work stock both.

 

[noinimod]

If they have both brands and the exact models that you want, maybe it's a good idea to get from them. Spectacle culture might have the same brands, but maybe not the same model, and sometimes the local distributor don't have existing stock, so even if you ask spectacle culture to bring it in, it might take a long time of 2-3 months, cos the distributor will need to order from overseas. See whether the wait is worth it for you, i guess.

Local shops don't carry many models of each brand, and if you go in at the wrong time, you'll see all the left-over pieces that nobody wants, good stuff all taken already.

 

[kingcarlos]

will probably head down for a look since they carry some oliver peoples as well

Hi, anyone have experience buying glasses from taobao or tmall? There is this promotion from a tmall flagship store that offers photochromic(transition) glasses for about 25 dollars. Is it safe to buy from there? It's really cheap... I already have my prescription...

 

[noinimod]

There's probably a good reason why it's so cheap...

 

[fighting]

I was quoted 290 for Crizal UV Transition XtrACTIVE lens. My power is only -1.5 on each eye. Is the price ok?
