So I just baught a pair of sunglasses

I used to work in the optical field a long time ago , in a galaxy far far away ....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Used to come across some VERY expensive sunglasses , most expensive I've ever owned personally were Porsche Designs titanium frames with custom blue mirror on a polarized grey lens , retail on the frame was 699.00 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif and the lenses were 175.00:crazy: . I didn't pay anywhere near that though as the Doctor I worked for would give me everything I wanted at cost //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

When Oakley's got real big about 12 years ago , I used to buy them at cost from Oakley (through the Doc.) and sell them for 50 less than they were selling retail , must have sold a couple hundred pair that way . I still have a hookup for designer sunglass's I can get Maui Jim's for 125.00 and they retail for 250.00 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wear Oakley Minute's now paid 30.00 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

 
i use sunglasses for when i'm playing sports or swimming or on the lake which is pretty much 5 out of 7 days a week. mine are perscription though so i don't have to deal with contacts getting dry. even though they were 600 bucks still worth it to me.

 
25+ pairs of Oakleys, I go all the way back to the original Blades....

The only non-oakley I have are: Maui Jims and Smith's...

The most expensive oakleys I have bought were $390...

It's an addiction...

+1 on the why we wear Oakley, plus they are 100% optical clarity...

If you can't see the difference between $7 and $200 Oakley, then you shouldn't be wearing Oakley anyway.

my other reason for wearing mine is after my accident tuesday and slamming my head into an air bag as hard as i did, my oakley's didn't move a millimeter. that to me is worth the 600 bucks they cost.

 
I got a pair of Bolle sunglasses that I like alot more than any pair of Oakleys I've ever seen. I think Oakleys feel really cheap, they look good but feel cheap to me and I haven't found a pair that fits right. The Bolle glasses I have fit the best and they're a little cheaper than Oakleys too.
