RB2140 Original Wayfarer Gradient Square Sunglasses

I scored this thing for only $50 out of pocket! At Sunglass Hut it was $150! Hell No! Not when they're on Amazon and Prime eligible for only $92.95. I did some research and decided the 50mm non-polarized was right for me since I have a peanut head and already own another style of Ray Bans (the 3212s awesome too!) that are polarized. I used some points from my Amazon Visa card and BOOM only $50 out of pocket! I bought these for two reasons. One was I own another pair of Ray Bans and I was impressed with the quality and Two was I had a pair of Wayfarers when I was younger but one of my girlfriends stole them. DO NOT LET WOMEN BORROW YOUR RAY BANS- THEY STEAL THEM! Make them buy their own or buy them a pair if you are feeling rich that day. After I took them out of the box I thoroughly inspected them as the Wayfarer is the most counterfeited pair of sunglasses in the world. I checked for all the Hallmarks. Ray Ban Logo on both temples-check. Laser-etched RB on left lens-check. Ray Ban at top corner of right lens-check. All the proper writing on the inside of the ear pieces-check. 7 hinges where frames meet arms-check. The green glass was the right color and most importantly, I used a bright light to see through the arms and the metal rod running through each was where it was supposed to be. I set them on the table and they had the proper wayfarer slant. There is also a pronounced curve to the arms when the glasses are viewed from above. The verdict: Yes, sir! These are a genuine pair of Ray Ban Original Wayfarers! Sunglass Express did me right! I may actually get these made into prescription sunglasses later down the line because they fit great. Also I'd like to add that these glasses say "Hand Made in Italy" and are not made in China. Way to go, Ray Ban!

I was looking for some new sunglasses that would look a bit different to the ones I've been wearing, and well - this was one that came to mind. They have this retro look that is somehow still quite modern and contemporary - which makes this design timeless, I guess So I went down to a store and tried on a couple of Wayfarers, and yeah - they looked great. A very important note, to those who buy online without actually trying on the different sizes in real life: get the right size! The difference between the 50mm lens and the 54mm lens is SIGNIFICANT! I first tried on a pair, and thought to myself that these just won't work for me, as they were really too large for my face. Then I noticed that those were the 54mm lenses - and tried on a 50mm size, which fit perfectly The New Wayfarers (RB2132) are smaller, and look more modern, and, in my opinion, don't really look like Wayfarers. So unless you have a small face, and you don't want the slightly oversized fit you get with the classic Wayfarer, don't get the new design. If you have an average-sized face, the RB2140's in 50mm will give you the perfect fit - slightly larger than your average pair of sunglasses, with that timeless Wayfarer look. If you like the oversized look (many girls would go for this), get it in 54mm. If your face is larger than average, the 54mm would be the best bet But yeah - that's all I have to say about the look and fit. Quality-wise, it's excellent. The classic brown Ray Ban case, cleaning cloth, little brochure, and of course the awesome sunglasses: high quality frame and lens. Excellent I bought it directly from Amazon, not from a third-party, so I felt pretty assured that it was the original - but I cross-checked it with many Youtube videos that compare originals vs fakes, and that put me completely at ease! Amazon has the best price, so get it from here. They're fantastic glasses!

I'm not really sure what to say about these sunglasses. If you're already a Ray-Ban owner, then you know all about the product itself--Ray-Bans are durable, provide superior protection from the sun, and have prescription-grade lenses in them. I've wanted a nice pair of sunglasses all my life, and being a child of the 80's, I really wanted this style of sunglass (plus, I wanted a larger frame to protect the skin around my eyes from the sun). I made myself carry a pair of cheap sunglasses around for an entire year before I bought these to make sure I would be responsible with them. I honestly wasn't expecting how different these sunglasses are compared to every other pair I've owned in terms of protection from the sun and quality. You really do get what you pay for! These sunglasses are very solidly constructed and you will never be more comfortable being out in the sun than wearing a pair of these. I suffer from migraines, but if I have a migraine, I can always count on my Ray-Bans to get me in and out of the sunlight without any discomfort. As for these particular Ray-Bans, they are exactly as pictured. I get a lot of compliments on the turquoise color. I wasn't sure at first if I would enjoy wearing colorful sunglasses but now I wouldn't wear anything else. I highly recommend this product, it's totally worth it!

You can save your bug-eyed Oakley glasses. Keep your Armanis. The cool factor is and always will be residing in a good pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. I purchased these as "fulfilled by Amazon" and they are the genuine thing. To verify: The lenses should be glass, not plastic. The frame material should have some heft to it, not el-cheapo injection molded plastic. The logos on each side should be screwed in, not glued (on the inside of the frame you should see the screwhole). On the inside of the left lens (not the lens with the painted Ray-Ban logo) near the far left edge you should see an etched R-B logo. The hinges should be screwed in. Looking at the glasses from the side there should be a pronounced angle between the earpieces and the lenses. And lastly, the code for this particular model (black 50 mm frame w/crystal green lenses) should read RB2140 901 50o22 3N. They fit, were shipped FAST, and make you 62.5% cooler than you otherwise would be. The crystal green lens tames the rays and had no distortion. Construction is solid and makes me look for reasons to go outside. All in all, this is the standard for a reason, and it remains so.

Well i received the box yesterday and when I opened the it seemed a litte bit damaged. The glasses are ok, they have no scratch or things like that , but the RB label on the left side of the glasses, keep me thinking about its originality. Two weeks ago i bought i fake pair and when I went to the optic shop, they told me that was very 'rude-made' because you actually could feel the label like it was maded by a sharp object, this happens again with these glasses, I can feel the label 'scratch' from behind the glass. So I'm not pretty sure if a real one or not.I will carry them to the optic again (2nd time, buying fake stuff) to see what happens. UPDATE: FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE THEY WERE A GOOD REPLCA BUT IN COMPARISON WITH THE ORIGINAL RAYBAN'S THEY SEEMED BARBIE-PLASTIC! I'M REALLY ANGRY WITH THIS SELLER AND WITH AMAZON, SELLING FAKE STUFF, AND STEALING MONEY. I DON'T RECOMEND YOU BUYING GLASSES FROM THIS SELLER, EVEN THE CASE, BROKE AFTER TWO OPENINGS! I LIVE IN COLOMBIA SO ITS PRETTY HARD TO REFUND THE ITEM AND IS EXPENSIVE AS WELL. IT'S REALLY BAD, IT GIVES A BAD IMAGE TO AMAZON. SO THAT'S IT I LOST MY MONEY.

An original Bausch and Lomb blue gel-like frame, very fashionable, with a lens that is sort of a amber rose

My 15 years old son wanted those very bad. That color nothing else......Grrrrrr! I first found them on an other web site without knowing there was several sizes....the one I received from this other place was way too big. 54mm I found out after the fact.I returned them to the salor. Then I found you on Amazon. I was pretty sure the 50mm where the good size but to be honest, they are still a little bit too big. But that teenager of mine wanted to keep them and since he is growind up so fast..... To make a long story short, these sunglasses are very very nice. The kid looks great ! I'm sorry for the writing mistakes. English is my second language. Thanks !

I received my new pair of Wayfarers about an hour ago from the time that I am writing this review. In that time I have been carefully examining them for authenticity. I am writing this review so quickly because I have had read the numerous reviews that state the product they received was counterfeit. I do not believe that these people are lying, it is very possible that they received the fake Wayfarers. I was anxious to express to anyone doubting this purchase that the pair I received from AMAZON are absolutely 100% genuine. I must stress that these came directly from Amazon not a third party. I believe the people who are receiving fake sunglasses are receiving them from one of these third parties. I have owned many pairs of these exact sunglasses and the pair I received are the real deal. They look/feel real and pass every test of genuine original Wayfarers. These tests include: 1. Silver Ray-Ban Cardboard Box with correct label with barcode 2. High quality leather case with genuine Luxottica gold foil stamping, Ray-Ban logo on button 3. "Icons" booklet and sealed manufactures note/cleaning cloth 4. Static-stick (not adhesive) shiny gold Ray-Ban lens sticker with "G-15 Lens" indication (or B-15 depending on model) 5. "Ray-Ban" brightly lasered (not painted) in upper left corner on left lens (if looking at the glasses, not wearing them) 6. "RB" etched into the glass on centered on right edge of right lens (if looking at the glasses, not wearing them). It can be etched on inside or outside of the lens depending on model/lot #) 7. Oversized metal hinges 8. Ray-Ban logos on temples attached to frames and hinges via metal rods (not glued) 9. Correct text on inner side of both sunglass arms 10. Metal support bars running the length of the arms inside the acetate (use a flashlight to pass light through arms on darker pairs to see these bars 11. And finally, the weight. You can tell just by holding them that they are made of acetate with glass lenses because they are heavier then a fake pair I am very sorry to those of you that received fake Wayfarers but I assure everyone else that I received a completely genuine pair. I hope this helps those of you on the fence make a decision (buy direct from Amazon!) and I hope the authenticity guide helps those of you unsure about the pair you already received to identify a counterfeit. Cheers
