My American made Revo heading X sunglasses are now missing both bridge pieces which cannot be replaced, and while it honestly doesn't effect the comfort on my face at all I decided I wanted a new pair.
I went looking online and all I could find was the current MADE IN ITALY offering ( will not buy any sunglasses manufacturered by Luxottica ) because my sunglasses are now discontinued and I'm maybe a year too late to find and NOS around.
I couldn't find any other US made sunglasses I liked at a price I was happy with so I decided I'd look into finding a secondhand pair of my model re4058x.
Found a pair for $60 on this site where people resell apparel.
I'm not into fashion or any of that stuff and hated to give my email to such a site, but I wanted them and they were in my size so I went for it.
They will be my everyday pair and the current pair will be my backups / work sunglasses.
I also ordered another pair of Fuse replacement lenses.
The quality is maybe a little less than the originals ( maybe my last ones were just lemons ) but OEM lenses aren't available as far as I know.
The clarity when brand new was amazing and they've resisted scratching well enough, but mirror coating didn't hold up that well over time and it wasn't really the bright chrome it was supposed to be. I also have no clue on the COO, but they do seem to have been worth the $35 they cost ( $20 for non polarized)
I wanted to try out a pair of Japanese made TAJIMA lenses which are supposed to be far superior than any OEM lenses you'll get with a pair of sunglasses, but for right about $100 I just couldn't justify it at this time.
Maybe if my current frames were in perfect condition and I hadn't just bought this other pair I'd have sprung for them.
I don't know exactly what the condition of the original lenses is on this secondhand pair I've got coming, so I'm not sure which pair will get the new lenses.
