Hi there,

Being a noob, any coment of this brand, Tom Ford? Are they value for money or just another designer brand? Many thanks.

2pm2am, what is your opinion on Reebok frames?

TIA for replies.

Honestly, it's just a pair of spectacle frame where they put the name Reebok on it. They used to have nice designs but I think standard drop alot.

[RazerDA]

ohh thanks.. for carl zeiss non transistion, what range do you recommend? budget for lens max at 400...how abt hoya..

 

[d9_lives]

just came back from JB
frame (brandless) + 1.6 house brand lens + UV + "some other coating" for RM2xx
what do you think?
Looks very thick ;(

I wanted Hoya but then, collection 1 w later, too much hassle.

They offered Nikon as well (within 1 hour of collection).
Not sure about this brand, but price with the above brandless frame, will become RM6xx
So in the end....their house brand lens...

How about Orgreen? Is it also just another brand-name frame? Is it light & flexible, comparable to IC!Berlin?

No doubt, IC!Berlin is the best in the mkt right now, having risen above the rest in recent times.

999.9 has already stopped giving Capitol OPtical the right to sell their frames. Not sure how good 999.9 really are, hopefully will get to see this star rising soon.

Saw Capitol Optical seems to be taking in Charmant in place of some of their lost brands. Anyone has any review of CharmantZ? Dont seem to hear of anyone wearing them. Are their new designs still look too "uncle-ish" for the likes of most people?

Tagheuer, oakley all these i think are fading away soon. Just like gotti not much in the mkt alry.

Heard that Tom Ford is pretty hot now, but mostly plastic frames not for my taste now.

Brands like JF Rey, steffan preutz etc are also making their way into the mkt, but not sure how good or how long these brands can last. I dont want to be wearing someting that maybe after 2 or 3 years are no longer in the mkt or have died or faded off, and become like im the only one wearing.
