Ray-Ban sunglasses 90% off

[gdvan01]

Just saw this from a friend and just placed my order...$19.99 for a quality pair of shades, shipping was $15.

**link removed**

I'm mainly an Oakley person but this is a killer deal and let's face it....who can't use another pair of shades?

:rockon:

Thanks, I needed a new pair. Once you have used the ones that are lighter on the bottom, you will never use the full shaded one again. It's dark where you need it, to look outside, and lighter where you need to see the instrument panel, inside.

Is this legit? I can’t find it on their actual website. Only through your link

I surely hope so...if not I'm gonna be less one friend.

I always use a credit card for stuff like this online, just in case. Your chances of recovering from fraud are much higher.

I don't think it is. You probably will still receive a pair of glasses, just not real Rayban.

I'll probably get a pair of Fred-Bans...

Hope it is, but the old thing.........."If it sounds too good to be true.........."

I just tried to pay and it said something like payment was not authorized something to do with fraud prevention.

I'm looking for a pair for the wife. But something tells me these are not genuine. Price is too good to be true.

 

[gdvan01]

Considering K-Labs post I removed the link, it's starting to look kinda cheesy.

I was sleep walking last night when I saw this post and ddnt bother to read the replies. Instead, I checked other online retailers like Macys and Real Bans were on sale up to 50% off. So I went ahead and purchase 3 from the link posted thinking its Cyber Monday and I need to be quick. The confirmation email arrived promptly and it looks like an ebay seller confirmation receipt, can't tell...Until I checked my bank where it reflected as pending transaction from CHINA! so from china folks! there it is beautiful! eff me !! I was laughing about my $60 donation but I need to contact my bank so they can cancel/send me a new CC.

Don't delete these thread, I may post pictures of the counterfeit product incase they'll ship to unsuspecting buyer like me.:Cry::Cry:

My bank said the seller's account is not in the blacklist so that's why their security software did not decline the charging. I also got the email including the tracking number. So up next is US Customs X-ray.

Hey everyone....Just got the sunglasses in the mail. :bluejump:
I have Serengeti sunglasses that I have been wearing for years. I love them. Once you have the darker on top and lighter on the bottom, its hard to go back to full shaded. These are Rayban or Fred-ban :noidea: I thought Sarengeti and Rayban merged, so they might be the same. So they are not the same, they are pretty close though. These are much lighter in weight. I have a pair of Sarengeti's that I broke the arm, and the arm from the fredban's fits. The glass is clear, no distortions I can find. They are slightly smaller. I.E the width from where the arms go into the frame, measured across the front is slightly smaller.
I have bought cheap sunglasses before, and always they were not worth the effort. Pure junk. These are pretty good quality. I don't have the exact Rayban to compare with, and I see no idications of them being rayban blems.
Easily my $$$'s worth.
Anyone know where the real Rayban's are made? These were shipped from Fujian, China

never knew about Serengeti until my brother started working for a company that owns them. Those are some quality pieces of eye wear as comapred to the Bro-Bans.

 

[Oldmanb777]

After looking closer, and getting the old Serengeti's out of the car to compare closely. These are no where near the quality. Not bad for $15. But probably not for $60.

Lessons learned. I should have checked the website before purchasing. Not because it runs flawlessly it is legit. I don't blame the OP of this thread, I am even thankful that my impulse buying during that week has stopped with a good reminder that they are always out there selling fakes its just basic internet shopping do's and don't that I forgot(Few bottles of beer is to blame).

These sunglasses looks authentic and probably worth the $20 cost considering the material and the effort they made when imitating stuffs. but the temples don't sit properly in my ears and the nose pad arms aren't aligned with each other. One of the model of the sunglasses that came has missing ray ban badge on the left temple. :nono:

 

[gdvan01]

Got my "Ray-Bans". Most of the sunglasses at the mall kiosks look better than these...

:ybrick:

 

[RAD4Runner]

I love my classics, 22R-E's and Rayban Aviators alike...

Sorry... those aviators look fake. Still worth the $20 though.

I've known Ray-ban Aviators since the 70's
I can tell fakes or the later versions from the classics just by looking at marking under the brow-bar, the shape of temple plastic, hinge and the the cross-section of the temple metal, the wear or corrosion where cheeks rub on the frame, the logo on the lens (70's and earlier ones did not), whether the nosepads or temples yellow or not, and even the smell of the plastics from the 60's when sanded down (same as ping-pong balls -cellulose nitrate?

Here's how to check "modern" Raybans:
How to spot a real vs fake Ray-Ban sunglasses - Real Vs Fake Guide

My 10 cents:
Modern Ray-Ban Aviators have changed materials / details, but geometry remained the same (nitrocellulose / cellulose nitrate cracks and yellows).
The brow-bar and the the points where brow-bar meets lens frame/ring should be almost a straight line...
The side of the frame about half-inch above and below the hinge should be straight, vertical and not rounded. It rounds off at top and at bottom.

Vintage Aviators from the 40's

HOW TO ADJUST THE NOSE-PIECES
Easy to adjust but you need to be careful. Use two thin long-nose pliers. Using only one will weaken weld at the frame (ask me how I know - LOL!)
Pad long nose pliers to protect plastic of nose-piece. Thin leather, or thick fabric would work.
