But in the post " My crokets style sunglass colletction " the user "MTVcops"He claims that they are wayfarer 5024 . I'm confused .. They're definitely the 5022 model. Here's the pair I ordered. They're coming from Italy so it will probably take about a month to get them. They were about 95 USD. These are in excellent shape and well worth the money. It's better than shelling out $150 for new Original Wayfarers which aren't even the same model. Sunglass aficionados will appreciate them and I'm so excited to wear them in summer 2019. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-B-L-RAY-BAN-WAYFARER-USA-B-L5022-TORTOISE/143057718128?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 In my opinion, this is one thing you shouldn't cheap out or compromise on. Wait until you find a pair of vintage 5022 (tortoiseshell is the most iconic, but black are cool too if you have the money. I may get the black ones later on.) Your sunglasses are the first thing people notice since they look at your face and if you want to make a statement that you're serious about your style, get something quality and take care of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heow Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I have a question regarding the RAYBAN Wayfarer 5024 Tortoise The lenses Crocket wears are completely flat (see the attached screenshots from S02E23 "Sons and Lovers"). The thing is, all the Rayban (even vintage) I find don't have those very flat lenses, so what's the deal?! Even collectors here are saying those are RAYBAN Wayfarer 5024 Tortoise , but the lenses of this model aren't flat... I'm confused 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Welcome to the site @heow! I believe the lenses were specially made flat and placed into the frames to reduce reflection of camera crew and equipment in the shots. All the info here about the frames is correct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, thanks for the explaination. I doubt this is the real reason though, flat lenses would increase reflections rather than reduce them. Another outside shot in the car, this time with regular lenses: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I think this has been discussed here. Maybe some of the Wayfarer experts can help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I spent quite some time looking for those Raybans with flat lenses, they just don't exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Yeah, but you can order the lenses. The frames were a standard product, if I understand correctly. Also, I accidentally linked the wrong thread initially, and it looks like you quoted it before I fixed it. Check the post again. Great info and lots of photos there, including side by sides on reflection/no reflection. Edited April 9, 2019 by Dadrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelAce Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 So there's no way to find any green/rose flat lenses anywhere ? I think they look much cooler than my actual curved ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViceFanMan Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 If I remember correctly, and from what I’ve learned over the years on this site, is that the original RayBan Wayfarer (such as the ones Crockett wore) model number was 5022 (aka back at the time of MV). In present day, or in more current times, the model number is now 2140...but it’s basically the same frame/glasses. As for lenses, mine are all the traditional green ones (which I prefer). The flat ones I believe were purposely put in Crockett’s Wayfarers by filming crew for certain filming purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'm paranoid or something but I've noticed a lot of details that are different between the RB2140 and the Wayfarer 5022 On top of the frame, it doesn't curve as much in the middle, the bridge is not as flat as 5022: That's the reason I didn't want to buy the new ones And I really hate the logo on the lenses and the temples... I like the Ray Ban style, but I'm not like "HEY LOOK AT ME, I PAID A LOT FOR A LOGO CUZ I'M RICH" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
