Yeah those hinges are the good solid style, not the cheapo screw-on flimsy ones. Printing on the lens looks good.

What @Letric said.

Aside from that, I often see fakes screw up the logo on the arm and just based on looking at RB's stock photos they match up well.

I also wouldn't be too concerned with this model being faked. Don't take this the wrong way, but that model is one of their cheaper ones, and given the price and popularity difference between those and the Wayfarers/Aviator, I don't think anyone would bother faking them.

Thanks guys!

Got a email coupon from Savers, spend $25 get $10 off. Got to the register and was $4 short because 2 items I had were unknowingly already 50% off. Tore up the store looking for a $4+ item and came across these two guys. $4.98 total. Thank you thrift gods!



* Nevermind. Just saw @330CK 's post. Goodlord!

Thanks. My size and everything.

I was at a "hub" SA that stocks much of mass and NH (Saugus) and OMFG everything was priced way out of joint (these were $35 and worth it, but my wife would've smacked me because I have so many shoes already if I'd paid that) so I took them up to the cash register and pled ignorance -- "Are these really $35? I can't do that if they are." I was with my 10 year old daughter, and she asked me if I was a senior so I could get half off. Honestly I said "No." She said "You can have them for fifteen." I said thanks and walked out with them.

I was chatting with this wonderful older woman in line -- she said a lot of dealers come in and that's why things are priced as they are. She also said that if they didn't give me a deal at the register she would buy them because she was a senior and we'd settle up in the parking lot.

This was a very unusual experience for me at an SA. Up here prices are set in stone.
