They actually look similar.

Enzo Argyle.

Torino Havana 6.

Havana 6 looks less speckled, especially on the front, not so yellow to me. Or do you mean the lenses?

Thanks! That's a helpful comparison.

My concern was the acetate, but I don't see a significant difference in color tone in those pics, just in the brightness/darkness of the acetate, which is fine with me.

Congrats on your purchase, I also have the Agar version and I find it to be the best one. Looking at the photos of the new colors online (Hickory, etc.), it seems to me that they might have slightly changed the shape... since you have both versions (the first version Agar and the second version Hickory), could you do a comparison? Maybe it's just in the photos, but I see the new versions as slightly different in design.

The two frames look identical in the measurements and shape to me.

I found a lovely pair of JMM Kellerman in Argyle in Japan about 6 months ago and they are some of the best glasses I’ve ever had. I’m looking to get another pair, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience or opinions on the Vendome…would it be too similar in size/shape? Thanks!

Dealans Clear/blue lenses. Love the combo.

Nice - we must have similar tastes. Your Oceanics are similar to my Cortez. I wrote above that I’m steadily weeding out a lot of my rarely-worn non JMMs but I do have a pair of Oliver Peoples West Cabrillo which are similar to your Dealans with clear chunky acetate frames and blue lenses . I got them before discovering JMM but I love the combo (with titanium temple ends) so I reckon I’ll be keeping these.

How often do they re-release the Enzo? Or, asked another way, what are the chances that the Enzo will be re-released?

Chances are high, as the Enzo is among their iconic and most successful frames.

I haven't counted them, but I believe that the number of Enzo's releases are only second to Dealan's.

It was a cloudy day and I just wore them as though they were opticals.

Wanting finally to turn them into sunglasses. Has anyone here pictures of theirs with custom lenses?
