    I've got the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer and I did swap the Rx lenses of my old Wayfarer Ease into it. A bit tricky to do since you can't heat the frames. I love the look now that I have Rx transition lenses on it. Keeps my hands free and the POV shots are cool. It's a plus that I get to leave my earphones at home now that I can listen with the open ear audio from the Smartglasses.

    There are definitely acetate frames that will suit Asian noses - cutler and gross being one of them (ie no nose pads!). Thank you Robert for taking the time to answer some questions even in your state, your passion for glasses is infectious. At first I was worried my ‘collection’ of eyewear couldn’t be justified but I thought, people have a collection of designer handbags, shoes, cars. Glasses is no exception and I absolutely get so much joy wearing my luxury glasses (and compliments that follow!). Get well soon x

    • @pato10111
      @pato10111 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Don't you mean that Cutler and Gross doesn't suit Asian noses? They use only the excess acetate from the front to build up the nose but don't stick on any additional material for nose pads. I'm 50/50 on which way to go. I think nose pads are uncomfortable on heavy acetate frames but they are kind of needed unless the brand has reduced the size of the bridge to make it work without them. I know with brands like Ahlem, some Asian stores add nose pads to the frames before they go on sale.

      @@pato10111 nope, I’m Asian and have low bridge and I’m about to pick up my third pair of cutler sunglasses this week. I too was very surprised when I tried my first pair of C&G and couldn’t believe it just sat on my nose! I will say it’s not all models but my optical shop has an incredible range. The common theme with the three pairs of C&G I own is that it all has a smaller gap in the bridge - as you just mentioned.
      Other than that, my day to day specs all have nose pads - except for my Masunaga which again, no nose pads!
      Do you have a good optician? They make a world of difference getting the fit perfect. I don’t own any glasses with custom nose pads added. Either they have them or don’t. I’m a massive fan of Theos. check those out!

    Everywhere I search, I see Jacques Marie Mage recommended. I know you're paying for a name, but I hear the experience and quality is phenomenal. I ordered a pair of silver Ugo's from their titanium collection, and they will arrive tomorrow. However, I don't know if I will keep them; we'll see how impressive they are. My biggest curiosity is the lens being CR39. I'm not educated enough to understand why I see non-polarized lenses for all the high-high end sunglasses. Why is that? And what is your opinion on JMM?

    I have a question. I get the cartier glasses look great. But For that price, you can have a bespoke pair of glasses from Maison Bonnet or Ateliers Baudin (I think the acetate pair starts with that $1k mark and horn starts with $1.7k or something? ). Given that, why should anyone buy a carrier? Isn't a bespoke pair better? (Though I am not uptodate about their current pricing. If you could get some info on that, it would be really helpful.

    My biggest issue with eyeglass frames is that companies do such a poor job at advertising and promoting what makes their frame worth what they're charging. Why is one titanium frame $20 bucks versus another that is $400 or what not. Some frames are very easy to see where the money is but others feels like a crapshoot.

  • @stan8926
    @stan8926 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Do Reykjavik Eyes titanium frames require special tools and ability of an optician to install lenses to? Or the fitting process is similar to cord (half rim) frames? I hope you recovered well by now.

    • @thespectaclefactory

    I don’t completely understand the ray ban smart glasses. They are pretty similar to the Snapchat Spectacles that Snapchat has been experimenting with since 2016 and the New Spectacles from 2021 also have AR and pretty comparable specs to the Ray Bans. The main thing that seems to be different is the integrated audio, but those features seem like they would be better suited delegated to something like AirPods. I’d rather have my glasses be lighter than include the audio system which may be redundant. I think when smart glasses mature more they offer a lot of promise, but I find Meta’s offering a bit underwhelming considering where Snapchat was a few years ago.
