2 Questions on the Wayfarer 5022


Marco Falcone

Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Just back from 2 weeks in Italy and realized I lost my late 90’s polarized Tortoise Wayfarers.   They were the newer frame with the writing in the temple but still the lighter brown tortoise that I had polarized lenses put into.   (Sad, I know.  But also a chance to replace with the real-deal 5022’s!)

My questions:

1.  Were the 5022’a ever made with polarized lenses?

2.   Is there a recommended seller on eBay (or HERE) for a pair in excellent condition no scratches on the lenses?

 

Mille grazie!

I don't think the 5022 were made with polarized lenses, it's a new thing brought in option by Luxottica

and on eBay, I got a pair of 5022 that looked great on the pictures but the temples were very loose and I couldn't fix it without breaking a screw that I cannot replace without a driller or something

So, you gotta ask a lot of questions before buying even if the pictures look good
