Beach_Vice Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 While we're on topic, I have a a few questions. How easy is it to get the Carerra's? How about the Alpina's? I don't know much about those. Are they still available?Also, are the Revo 840's the same as the Grand Sixties? I've heard the 840's referred to as Revo sixties long before Revo released the 'grand sixties' last year. They sure look similar...http://www.revo.com/#/models/38-grand-sixtiestmAlso, how much wider are the 69218's than the Wayfarers? I've read so many times that the Persol 69218 Ratti's are wide sunglasses, but no measurements to back it up.And... the forward rake on the screen used Wayfarers, is it more slanted than the store bought models?And... How cool is it to have your choice, any day of the week, of which pair to wear? I have jacket related questions, but I'll save those for a different topic.

I have jacket related questions, but I'll save those for a different topic.The CARRERAs are not too uncommon, and you can still find them. The Alpina are rare, and if you do find the right ones from the 80s, you will pay dearly for them. They are very expensive.The Revos in the picture you provided are different in that it's still not the 80's design, as the temples have a different logo, and the lenses are polarized, which the 80's version isn't.The Persols sizes can be found in my thread below.http://www.miamiviceonline.com/showthread.php?1369-MIAMI-VICE-SUNGLASSES-MAKES-STYLES-amp-IDENTIFICATIONSThe forward rake of the screen used versions are not as raked as a regular Wayfarer if I remember correctly, but a bit flatter without the rake if memory serves me correctly. Most likely to reduce reflection glare.How cool is it to have a choice of all these glasses? ULTRA COOL!! I can pick and choose the same shades Crockett wore, and pair it with the clothes correctly!It's quite simply a dream of which I don't wish to wake from.

Mr. Calderon Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 So, numbers forgotten, if i buy an original wayfarer made today (and not the NEW wayfarer), this is the closest model to Crockett´s original 5022, right? Not being exactly a 5022 model (maybe a new code), the so-called ORIGINAL its the "right" model for Crockett´s sunglasses made today, huh? http://www.miamiviceonline.com/showthread.php?15200-NEW!-80-S-WAYFARERS-ARE-BACK!

However, the lenses are not G-15 XLT. It's about as close as you can get to the 1980's 5022 Models, but you will have to change out the lenses to the G-15 grey green lenses.Click belowhttp://www.ray-ban.com/usa/products/rb2140/954These are called "original wayfarer" or "classic wayfarer". I don't think "NEW wayfarer" is what your looking for.The tortoise, and the light tortoise are two different shades. The darker tortoise ( RB2140 902) is the one I have. Crockett actually wore the light tortoise (in the 80's there were either black or tortoise, there wasn't a dark, or light tortoise, just "tortoise").Make sure when you order that you order the correct lense size for your face. I wear the medium lense size (50mm) which is the same as Don Johnson wore on vice.Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thx pal! I think i prefer the dark tortoise one. I dont know if I like brown lenses.Yep' date=' the dark tortiose versions are the one's I wear every single day! (I have the light tortoiose versions too, but I don't care for the brown lenses, and have not had the lenses replaced as of yet) I bet you'll love your new pair of wayfarers when you get them, they are Ferrariman, and Coop approved! :thumbsup:Please take some time and read through this thread.[url']http://www.miamiviceonline.com/showthread.php?15200-NEW!-80-S-WAYFARERS-ARE-BACK!It will answer many of your questions.

Mr. Calderon Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I went to downtown yesterday, and i saw the sunglasses.I found one light tortoise at a good price, but i have to agree, the dark tortoise kicks ass. I dont know, brown lenses for my personal taste is kinda kitsch. And the light brown color too. The dark is much more classy. If i found the light one by R$ 474, local money, i found the 902 from R$ 520, up to R$ 763 bucks.:pMaybe next week, dividing in 2 or 3 times the price lol :)You see...Miami Vice still sells sunglasses even more than 25 years later...Thx Coop.

bluepearl Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 WOAH !!!!! Great - also NEW to me. Thank you so much for putting up again Coop. That is a hell of a collection. Also impressing how much the new camera with you and the Miami Vice screen in the background lift up the special with this image and collectible to a 10. I think this will be that one at the top with your tower in action: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 you know looking at them it makes me wonder why Crockett didnt wear Arnies Glasses from the first terminator film and the sunglasses from Sudden Impact, the Gargoyles ANSI classic, as they would have fit in with the general style of the carrera's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
