Review: Classic and timeless - I was looking for some new sunglasses that would look a bit different to the ones I've been wearing, and well - this was one that came to mind. They have this retro look that is somehow still quite modern and contemporary - which makes this design timeless, I guess So I went down to a store and tried on a couple of Wayfarers, and yeah - they looked great. A very important note, to those who buy online without actually trying on the different sizes in real life: get the right size! The difference between the 50mm lens and the 54mm lens is SIGNIFICANT! I first tried on a pair, and thought to myself that these just won't work for me, as they were really too large for my face. Then I noticed that those were the 54mm lenses - and tried on a 50mm size, which fit perfectly The New Wayfarers (RB2132) are smaller, and look more modern, and, in my opinion, don't really look like Wayfarers. So unless you have a small face, and you don't want the slightly oversized fit you get with the classic Wayfarer, don't get the new design. If you have an average-sized face, the RB2140's in 50mm will give you the perfect fit - slightly larger than your average pair of sunglasses, with that timeless Wayfarer look. If you like the oversized look (many girls would go for this), get it in 54mm. If your face is larger than average, the 54mm would be the best bet But yeah - that's all I have to say about the look and fit. Quality-wise, it's excellent. The classic brown Ray Ban case, cleaning cloth, little brochure, and of course the awesome sunglasses: high quality frame and lens. Excellent I bought it directly from desertcart, not from a third-party, so I felt pretty assured that it was the original - but I cross-checked it with many Youtube videos that compare originals vs fakes, and that put me completely at ease! desertcart has the best price, so get it from here. They're fantastic glasses! Review: The One and Only Original Rock Star Glasses! - I scored this thing for only $50 out of pocket! At Sunglass Hut it was $150! Hell No! Not when they're on desertcart and Prime eligible for only $92.95. I did some research and decided the 50mm non-polarized was right for me since I have a peanut head and already own another style of Ray Bans (the 3212s awesome too!) that are polarized. I used some points from my desertcart Visa card and BOOM only $50 out of pocket! I bought these for two reasons. One was I own another pair of Ray Bans and I was impressed with the quality and Two was I had a pair of Wayfarers when I was younger but one of my girlfriends stole them. DO NOT LET WOMEN BORROW YOUR RAY BANS- THEY STEAL THEM! Make them buy their own or buy them a pair if you are feeling rich that day. After I took them out of the box I thoroughly inspected them as the Wayfarer is the most counterfeited pair of sunglasses in the world. I checked for all the Hallmarks. Ray Ban Logo on both temples-check. Laser-etched RB on left lens-check. Ray Ban at top corner of right lens-check. All the proper writing on the inside of the ear pieces-check. 7 hinges where frames meet arms-check. The green glass was the right color and most importantly, I used a bright light to see through the arms and the metal rod running through each was where it was supposed to be. I set them on the table and they had the proper wayfarer slant. There is also a pronounced curve to the arms when the glasses are viewed from above. The verdict: Yes, sir! These are a genuine pair of Ray Ban Original Wayfarers! Sunglass Express did me right! I may actually get these made into prescription sunglasses later down the line because they fit great. Also I'd like to add that these glasses say "Hand Made in Italy" and are not made in China. Way to go, Ray Ban! ## Features - Case included - Lenses are prescription ready (rx-able) - Original Ray Ban Packaging: includes case and cleaning cloth. - Made in Italy - Logo at lens corner and temples ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PHX9G82 | | ASIN | B083BPV5FH | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Arm Length | 150 Millimeters | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,154,243 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #6,498 in Men's Sunglasses #7,968 in Women's Sunglasses | | Brand | Ray-Ban | | Bridge Width | 22 Millimeters | | Color | Black/ Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,672) | | Date First Available | April 7, 2014 | | Department | womens | | Fit Type | Regular | | Frame Material Type | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00706795056801 | | Item Shape | Wayfarer | | Item Type Name | Sunglasses | | Item Weight | 0.35 Pounds | | Item model number | Model No : RB2140 - ORIGINAL WAYFARER | | Lens Coating Description | UV Protection Coating | | Lens Color | Green Classic | | Lens Material Type | Glass | | Lens Type | Polarized | | Manufacturer | Ray-Ban Sunglasses | | Manufacturer | Ray-Ban | | Material | crystal, plastic | | Package Dimensions | 6.84 x 3.37 x 2.11 inches; 5 ounces | | Polarization Type | Non-Polarized | | Product Care Instructions | Clean with a soft, dry cloth.

By absorbing 85% of visible light and blocking out most of the blue light, the green lens ensures better clarity of vision and remarkable color contrast, providing a more 'natural vision'. **Q: Are these 54 mm or 50mm ?** A: The ones I purchased were advertised as 54 mm and are indeed 54 mm. **Q: The lens is dark?** A: Yes, the lens is dark. Now for a short narrative regarding Ray Ban's warranty policy. It sucks. Pay them $12.50 and they don't repair and they keep the money. **Q: What is the temple length measurement for the 54mm? Curious because I have tried these on locally and the temples don't quite reach around my ear.** A: This item is size:Lens-54 Bridge-18 Temple-150 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic and timeless *by H***N on April 7, 2014* I was looking for some new sunglasses that would look a bit different to the ones I've been wearing, and well - this was one that came to mind.
