beatleboylevi Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 http://www.vintagesunglassesshop.com/ , i give , many bliss my friend !I have looked and I'm going to pick up the blue mirrored Revos from Season 4/5; however, the only Persols they have that Johnson wore are the brown and dark drown models and i would love to be able to find a black pair.

Beach_Vice Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hey, I feel your pain. There is hope though. Ray-Ban makes the Wayfarer again, Revo makes the Grand Sixties again, so hopefully Persol will make the 69218's again. Just keep hoping. I have been for 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks Coop I'll make sure to do that but I really want to find a pair of Persols.I know. Black frame Persol 69218's are very rare, and expensive. Good luck my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do popup occasionally.The Persol replicas on the link, I bought on amazon a couple of years ago. They were OK but if you look at the arm on the glasses it has a very noticeable chequered pattern, which I believe the originals/Crocketts didn't. I might be wrong but just make sure you check em out. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbo Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 They show up on ebay from time to time ...... Hi I bought a few pairs of the original 69218's back in the mid 90's from a boutique in Costa Mesa CA before the internet recognition exploded the prices. Right now I have three pair (none for sale sorry). People say they're expensive and yes for glasses $300 to $500 IS expensive. But these retailed for $300 new back in the day if I remember right. Hopefully the designers at Persol will see the interest as they did with the "Steve McQueen" model 714's and re-issue the 69218's. And I don't mean the lame non-flex hinge models you see on eBay now for $200 or whatever it is . Good Luck -Ronbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulgtr56 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ive got tortoise 69218 for sale. 400.00. They have prescription lenses but uyou can get any kind replacement lenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Aren't these the same ones you posted below for $300??? " Asking 300.00. " You might try posting on Ebay for a broader audience, and you also may want to clarify the price in the IN Auction thread posting above as there seems to be a conflict between your 2 posts.

Please help.Thanks Seems to me Versace's VE4275 sunglasses are near identical (save for the medusa), keep in mind apparently 90% of sunglasses manufacturers are owned by the same mega corp, so i guess they just re-purpose designs after a while.

Dadrian Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Mine have brown lenses, too. Did they come in different colors, or did they change Croxkett’s to black or charcoal or whatever they are? I had some charcoal ones put in mine (saved the originals). I really like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
