eXistenZ Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Hello guys, after long time no posting I thought I'd give you an update of my current collection of sunglasses. All presented in my new showcase Starting from the top: 6x Carrera 5512 in 2x brown (one new old stock), 2x black (one old temple style, one new temple style (NOS)), 1x grey/blue, 1x light tortoise Middle section: Revo 840, Carrera 5425 in dark brown, Persol 69218 in dark brown, Carrera 5622 folding, Carrera 5512 in grey/carbon, Carrera 5621 Lower section: RayBan 5022, RayBan 5022 40 Years Special Edition, 2x RayBan 5022 (NOS), RayBan 5024 40 Years Special Edition, RayBan Outdoorsman in Black, RayBan Aviator in Gold All of the Wayfarers have different temples and therefore different fit. And I still got two Carrera 5512 on my shelf in blue (old temple style) and dark tortoise.Also just a frame without glasses not shown anywhere. And I just got hold of a special item: Alpina Quattro in black (NOS). THese cost a fortune and are completely new...nothing else to say I guess I wanted to have some NOS TR4 too but they were reserved. But it is just a matter of time Edited December 25, 2018 by eXistenZ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Hailiffe Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Figured I'd add my whole collection up here, some are NOS most are very well kept used items, funny enough none ever went above 90.00aud I basically aimed to collect the carreras used in Miami vice/scarface/Beverly hills cop II, Midnight run, casino, blow etc, enjoy my friends! PS I'm contemplating a ytube channel reviewing these pieces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I'm contemplating a ytube channel reviewing these pieces That's a great collection. You seem like a Carrera fan. Personally, I prefer the style of the Ray-Ban Wayfarers a lot, Carrera wouldn't look right on my face. And yeah, you should start a YouTube channel. I would love to see another MV enthusiast review things related to our interest. And here's a picture of the B&L 5022 tortoiseshell vintage Wayfarers I purchased for your viewing pleasure. They were shipped from Italy so they're taking a long time to get here but they were last in Queens, NY distribution center, so hopefully I'll get them within a week or so. I grabbed these bad boys for $95 + shipping. Check out these beauties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Hailiffe Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Pm Conroy, thank you and well done my friend, I'm guessing they were from benderchan, you beat me to them lol, I love Ray Bans particularly the 4147 60mm tortoise on gradient lenses, I own 3 pairs of wayfarer 2x 54mm light and dark tortoise both with g15s and 50mm tortoise with g15 and a pair of wayfarer II in tortoise g15 Wayfarers only look good on me if I grow my hair longer on top, 50mm feel too small and 54mm look too big if I have short hair(high cheekbones are hard to work with) Carreras I've learnt to make them work with my rounder features, I just choose nothing under 62mm lol, they're just a badass brand I grew up seeing on TV, in F1 and music culture that just have that individual edge over ray ban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunMVO Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yeah, I've always found that Ray-Ban Wayfarers have looked perfect for my face shape. I've worn them since I was a teenager, so they're part of my trademark "personal brand" if you will. I used to wear New Wayfarers, but I broke and lost a couple black pairs and I just sold my old tortoiseshell ones and I'm replacing them with these which I think will look way better on me. New Wayfarers look feminine in my opinion even though they're supposed to be unisex. And actually, the seller is albertoalbi75, not benderchan. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-B-L-RAY-BAN-WAYFARER-USA-B-L5022-TORTOISE/143057718128?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXistenZ Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Very nice collection of 5512's! Where do you get them? I know they show up on ebay all the time but NOS 5512's are still very rare :) Today my Quattro's have arrived. I love them! Would love to wear them, but they are collection only :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remington Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Black and tortoise. Best of both worlds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I was thinking of picking up a pair of the black vintage ones, the same model as my tortoiseshell ones. I thought I could wear the black ones during fall and winter or something. However, I'm kind of strapped for cash at the moment, lol, so it's very low on my list of priorities. But yours look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasVice5150 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I have black Carreras with just “Mod 5512 90” on inside of frame. So I screwed up I guess? My tortoise pair have “Mod 5512 12” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see Tubbs wearing them too in “Hit List” (Calderone’s Demise pt 1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasVice5150 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I’m always a stickler for getting it exact lol. I guess I missed the 125 EP in whatever post I saw at the time :(. So DJ never wore the black at any time? I think I saw PMT wear some with rose lenses but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ’s had the logo blacked out in the middle. PMT’s did not. The only other 5512 model was in “Killshot”—barrista at La Liberdad cafe (coffee stand) had the black ones with blue logo.

They look black in some scenes, but they are all the same brown pair like the ones in my hand in the photo above. The brown color is hard to find, and they are usually about $200. Sometimes they come up for less. I will help you keep an eye out. mine look black in some photos too.
