On the face pics would be more useful Dorian


I just and across a frame named Godard. I think opticals only. Looks like a slightly less feline Dealan but only out in the usual boring black and tort. Would like to see that in more adventurous colours.

By the way, I was considering the Godard as well, when I also saw the Picabia and decided to get it.

Godard comes in more colors than Noir... Sand and Samoa is nice

Yes, very nice colourways, Samoa resembling Argyle. There's also a Black Fade.

I keep saying I’m pretty much done with brown but I can’t deny I really like the look of the burlwood colour. On the right frame I could be tempted by a pair of them.

I tried on the Godard in black fade and sand at the beginning of this year. Agree it resembles the Dealan with a less steep cat-eye

Bruh! I tried to secure a set of platinum Kaines back in the day, only to miss out on them. I had to settle for a set of Dealan 53 in platinum. Congratulations to you! Enjoy the heck outta them.

Thanks…I’ve had them since they first released….this was more about the fact I wasn’t wearing a hat…the forum members that date back before page 200 will know what I’m talking about…TTYL 😎

Your parade frame, it looks great on you, and you look so much better without the cap.

By the way, the Kaine is certainly among my favourite models.

Dawg dang it. I’m a page 400 guy myself so I’m out of the loop on that. Drat!

The new Bandit looks stubby and unrefined to me, the more in fit pictures.

How nicer looks the model (Retrosuperfuture) on this gentleman, with lightness and swing.

I just learned via working through the warranty process that not all of the pieces made from one release are actually sold whole. For example, if a release has 400 pieces available, only about ~395-398 are actually sold. The others are used for parts and are reserved for warranty claims. When getting mine fixed, customer service had to look to see if they could repair it (if they had any pieces available). I found that interesting! These releases are even more limited than what they advertise!

@urbancomposition looking great with his Loewy Vintage Tort.

The Loewy/Devaux is such a great frame. Being relatively small, the thick acetate looks even more prominent. Certainly a favourite of mine.
