Wayfarer 5022 vs 5024’s

So, I found a really nice pair of vintage B&L tortoise 5022 on EBay.  Bought them.  They are near perfect, (one tiny scratch on the left lens) but they just don’t fit my face right.  Just a little too tight.  

SO I check the black ones I still have from 1987 that fit great.  Ha! They are 5024’s.

So I find a NOS pair of vintage B&L tortoise 5024’s on eBay.  I buy them.  They fit great.


Now...

What should I do with this really nice pair of vintage tortoise 5022’s I have but don’t really want?

In this condition, you could sell them on eBay for $75

I tried the 5022s as well and I really don't understand how it could fit correctly on DJ's face, they sit way too high for most people

Guess he had a very thin nose or something
