One word of caution if buying these. They are small. I bought a pair a couple of years ago from Ebay, and the arms are too short to wear comfortably. My wife wears them, and they fit her fine, but they just aren't right for me. That being said, they do have great lenses. The frame color is correct, but they are a bit transparent, and depending on it they are in sun or shade, the color does change slightly.

Hmm so far I have always managed to get my personal optician to do some adjustments - at no charge at all, even on vintage models fished from the infinite realms of the internet ... so if the arm length is an issue, I suppose that would be alright.
Thank you for your warning anyway - which is just as well, most users would hate to end up looking somewhat insectoid with super sized eyes ;)

Should be an even better price now, the Euro is down against the dollar. Plan to order a pair myself, too good to pass up! :)

They are great glasses - got myself two pairs to have one in reserve.

BTW if you want to get rid of the white VUARNET brined on the left arm I can help you out on that one ;)
