yea u did...i was ok with quality...but even the optician at a certain store tell me there were issues such as rusting and all that they had to launch a 2nd version.....with such a premium such things shundt happen but the main thing was my mom felt that i didnt look good with frameless and also im quite rough with stuff so afraid i would break it haha....she insisted i shud get half frame thus the one which i love the most is the japonism design....are they the original for the jp-001 design

frame condition is still very good, only the lens is peeling.

my old frame is kazuo kawasaki ti frame. extremely durable and understated.

highly recommended to anyone looking for a high quality frame.

u mean the old frame colour peeled off? What frame did u use?

wah seh, kazuo lei... longtime never heard of this brand le. Still around mah? Used to hear alot last time. Seldom see now liao. Japanese ti frame must be v durable, after 6 years still good. No color peel? If no color peel the worksmanship is damn good. Noobzpro, u heard? Jap frame is good, so i think if u hoot japonism can wear more than 10 yrs no prob compared to tagheuer i think 3 yrs cui gao gao liao.

i am still looking for the perfect one. ready to try DUN but it seems costly to me leh.

swissflex is out, tag heuer out, ray ban out for me.

want to try oliver peoples but more for style than substance.

see some of my frens wear korean brand HAMMER relatively cheap so maybe i get it as my spare spec. see how.

How much does a ultem plastic frame cost on the average? Was quoted $200 for it.... Ex?

 

[PetiaC]

I bought a light, flexible and comfortable plastic frame from local brand "Acespex - inc vision". The design is classic looking and simple, which is what I like.

only time will tell if durable or not. opted for the cheapest option AO lense. Feels much thinner and clearer than the previous lense I made for astigmatism but I find it hard to walk in them, as though the steps i make dun sync with my feet.

haha, ahboy you wear swissflex keep falling off your nose, wasted money liao. Why rayban out? Hammer is very light, flexible, cheap and as a spare spec is worth it but not as a perm one. Becos the workmanship v poor thats y they can sell cheap. I had 2 pairs, then the screw spoilt within a few months got to return and get a new screw but still not that good, if you understand what im saying. The screw mechanism workmanship not that good. But if spare one no problem lah.

 

[bumdssa]

any place for cheap cheap normal lens?

rayban too common and nt entirely cheap. to me it is a not here nor there brand. if want get branded just hoot ferragamo, prada, gucci, ysl and the likes.

think i may settle for a hammer as spare specs. have enuff of swiss flex. even after adding ear pads still not very comfortable.
