Title: which type of sunglasses do prefer & how much r u willing to spend on em...?
Post by: flint-rod on June 14, 2018, 10:49:11 AM
i have no nose bridge so this particular type fits my face better... these here cost me 30 bucks... i no longer spend hundreds on sunglasses anymore... my last 200 dollar pair was addidas which broke because some dude spiked a volleyball right into my face as i attempted to block his shot... lol!

Oakley Sub Zero...Had it for a couple decades until I lost it a few years ago...They don't make them anymore so I'll have to find it else where if I want one:

I always wanted a pair of $200+ sunglasses but could never pull the trigger. Two years ago my wife bought me a pair of Oakley for Christmas but I returned them because they did fit me well. I was supposed to use that money for a different pair but never did. I knew she was disappointed because she knew I always wanted a pair of expensive sunglasses :P

Armani's shades that is pricey but I got it at the mall going out of business sale for peanuts.

Since it was cheap, I no care but I only hate the way it looks on me.  Eyes like a ufo alien, a White guy would look good with it. 

I do have a nose bridge but my nose may be too big for my head ha

In the past I would buy cheap under 30 dollar sunglasses..

The most I spent was 50 bucks on some Wiley X. 

But recently I bought some micheal kors, they were like 120.  They were nice.  I gave them away to a girl.  I'll probably get me another pair of the same.

Then I bought some ray ban aviators, they were like around 130 as well.

Anyways, the thing is...you can really tell a difference in quality.  There really is a differencephal itis.

80% off for real Armani's sunglasses.  Who wouldn't?

I wouldn't go cheap on items that has to do with my body.  To protect the eyes, if I can get the same protection but cheap, I'll do it.  Teeth, best stuff for my yellow teeth.  Shoes, best for my back's and heels n knees. 

Anything else, cheaper by the dozen.

Did everything well for me so it was worth the $160 price tag back in 1992. This used one still goes for $169 so it actually appreciates in some cases...;D:
