Spivvy is good. Great craftsmanship handmade acetate is their highlight. Light. More exp. More stylish.

If you like angular lines you would like Spivvy. Cost abt 700+. If you like japonica then should like Spivvy as well though it's simpler in design.

go to keypoint i mention previously, try and see which one fits you best. its a pretty big shop with many brands.

just went to look at spectacles....decided to get 2 seperate spectacle and sunglasses.....spectacle will be japonism with zeiss aspherical rx.....they say the rx is made in germany require wait 3 weeks unlike the stock ones....then for sunglasses i blur already....wats good to get? budget will be around 800 for sunglasses with prescription...

 

[noobzpro]

Which Japonism, and how much?

Jp–001 1050 before disc. Around 25% off... Lenses are 360 non transition. Total quoted around 1.1k require to wait for stock for frames coz colour not available. Lens is 3 weeks from germany. Saw other brand like spivvy and chapmant also... Those were cheaper but i feel is also one grade below.

Guys between porsche design, prada, oakley which is better to make prescription sunglass or any japanese brand to recommend lol...

Hi all, just saw in another thread someone advised not to buy from Smartbuyglasses.com,
wish to get a 2nd opinion here.
Anyone bought from the website before?
the particular Rayban model (rb5269) im looking for is selling at ard SGD$160, compared to quite a few shops i went to ask, quote me $290, the lowest say give me 15% discount, $230.....

any advice here?
Thanks.

I bought 2 pair of glasses one year ago at queensway but didn't wear them at all, one is too flimsy and the other too heavy.

i have been wearing swissflex glasses since 2008. i have just got my 3rd pair of swissflex recently. the reason why i like about swissflex is, it is lightweight, the nose pad do not get green moss stuck on the nose pad after wearing it for years. the things i don't like about swissflex, my nose pad broke after 2 years and the replacement cost $18. i also need to wear ear hook cos the glasses will slip out easily. when i sweat, the ear hook will get expand and became loose after 3 months, need to replace that in every 3 months and each pair of ear hook cost $1.50.

i'm thinking of getting owndays air ultem glasses. it look so flexible, light and comfortable. but not sure about the quality.
