I see the draw of each. Different and awesome.

Dita Insider-Two
After looking at your post again on IG three times, I snagged some Insider Ones. My luck with finding NIB gear from forum friends has been on point lately. Should have them early next week and hopefully able to get lenses made before we leave for holiday

My go to german made Brand Lunor does some Acetate and Metal Mix Glasses too but the engraving on the japanese Models is really nice and kind of unique.

Got my lenses installed in my Insiders and really dig them. A lot different than I would normally go, but definitely something fun to have in the rotation.
Now I have my eyes on the Buckeye in Amber/White Gold for my 2018 optical purchase.
Anyone have a pair and could post up pics? Sadly, I am quite a different size And shape than their model on he website [emoji23]

Went and tried on some new glasses yesterday.
Thoughts?
I have my favorite, my wife has hers, and I know which ones look terrible but wanted to share.
Buckeye Grey Slate
Folsom Amber
Folsom Black
Statesman (3?)

Kinda like the first pair the best.

Thanks for the feedback gents - I’m leaning towards these tho…
The Buckeye were too “flimsy” for me to really feel comfortable buying. And the Statesman, well... my wife said “you’d look like a fat Anderson Cooper” in them... which is entirely Accurate.

Thanks @DStauffer - the tortoise do fill a void in my collection, although my daughter did recently break my Black Dior Square frames, so I could easily slide the Black or Tortoise Folsom in

I have been a Ray Ban guy for the past few years and have owned my fair share of Warby Parkers. Recently, I have been interested in the Effector brand and picked up a pair of the Harmonist model.
These are going out today to have my clear prescription lenses put in, but they are on another level IMO. Excited to get these into rotation…

Quite the cool statement Dan!

I have an eyeglasses question, so kinda related to this thread:
The last time I did a vision test was probably 5+ yrs ago. At that time I tested at 20/15, which by all accounts is pretty good. However, last week I tried reading the serial# off an Apple adapter and I had to use a magnifying glass just to make it out. Granted, the numbers and letters were tiny but i'm starting to wonder if my eyesight is finally starting to fail me at the age of 46. I know I should get tested again soon but just curious if this is a sign of my peepers giving out on me. At what point would one have to regularly wear eye glasses? I'm pretty sure i'm farsighted so not sure if this means I wouldn't have to wear glasses.
