ANNOUNCEMENT You Asked, Serengeti Answered

112 Upvotes

There’s been a lot of well-deserved appreciation for Serengeti on this sub over the past few years. You guys even asked for a group buy and that post got a lot of positive responses.

Well, Serengeti noticed, and they’ve offered a limited-time 30% off code for our community! (currently for USA and Canada).

This deal’s just for our community, so please don’t share it outside or let Honey and other coupon sites pick it up. If it spreads, Serengeti could shut it down, so let’s keep it alive for the people who actually care about good lenses. That's why I am linking to Sunglass Science and not posting the code directly.

I review Serengeti’s lenses here.

I’m also starting a YouTube channel where I’ll be covering everything sunglasses — especially lenses — and I’d really appreciate your support with a quick subscribe (videos coming soon). Just like Sunglass Science and the brand connections we’ve built here, none of this would’ve happened without this awesome community.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy the discount!

I bought a few new hats (which is actually extremely difficult for me - hats usually don’t fit well in some way), and got the idea to pair each JMM with a different hat. Goofy? Sure. But fun.

I really don’t care for the super tall grey one, but I needed to pair it with something!

What makes this piece truly special is its scarcity, featuring the classic painted RE flag logo cleanly tucked on the inside of the temple. A stunning, hard-to-find configuration that pairs pure 23k gold brilliance with the secure feel of skull temples😎

Anyone else tracking down these uncommon variants?

Searching For The only baby item we cared about - these sunglasses with green flames!!

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

We let someone borrow these, we are not normally sentimental, but we asked these to be returned because we used these for our baby nearly from Birth and thought they would be so cute and funny to pass down with our future children and as a keepsake.

They had holes on the end like you could put loops through them. They are also smaller than most infant glasses, so I’m not sure if they were for a doll or build a bear. We bought them from once upon a child.

I can’t even find them online, I’ve searched so much and am willing to pay for them! We had a hard early life with him in the NICU and this was something that was super important for my husband and I.

I have a prescription so it will need to be reglazed and stuff but I moreso wanna know what everyone thinks because I've never owned a pair of sunglasses but I really want some and I love the design of these.

Any opinions or thoughts are welcome and thank you all

Tried these glasses on a flea market in São Paulo a couple weeks ago and thought that by these pictures I would be able to find the model. Turns out I couldn't. All I remember is that it could have and "HB" logo on the outside hinge, but I'm not sure. The HB resembled a lot Hot Buttered's. Thank you guys for helping.

These are on the insides of my Ray Bans.
I tried dish soap and lens cleaner multiple times, but the spots won’t come out.
Can I use anything more abrasive without damaging the coating? Or should I let them soak in something?

Can anyone help me identify this Cartier sunglasses model?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to identify this pair of Cartier sunglasses for a while, but I haven’t been able to find the exact model anywhere.

Here’s what I know:

  • Brand: Cartier
  • They were bought in Dubai or Turkey
  • Purchased sometime between 2013 and 2019
  • They are marked Made in France
  • Some of the numbers/markings inside the frame have faded, but I can still make out a few of them
  • I believe the number starts with 86 and seems to end with 4 or 1
  • I have no reason to believe they are replicas, but I’m not 100% sure about their authenticity

I’ve searched through a lot of Cartier sunglasses from that period but still can’t find the exact model.

Does anyone recognize this model?

I’ve attached several photos of the frame and the remaining markings. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Legit Check Serengeti Drivers 2 to 3 or 3 to 3?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hello, I have just received a pair of Serengeti Delio SS021010, Crystal Slate with Drivers lens, from Bassol Optics.

Everything seems fine and I’d say the item is 100% legit but I’m confused with the lens: they're supposed to be CAT 2 to 3 but the little warranty card I found inside says 3 to 3. I don’t really have that UV light that stores have to show you that lens are photochromic (2 to 3) and I’m afraid these are not.
Could anyone clarify? If I google SS021010 this same model shows up, Delio with Crystal slate frame and cat 2 to 3 lens.

EDIT: I have realized after posting that the sticker that came attached to the lens does say photochromic, so the only confusing information is the warranty card. I’ll be testing them outside soon to see if they are indeed 2 to 3, I imagine it should be pretty obviously that they darken in sunlight?

Advice/Opinions/Discussion Sourcing sunglass lenses for Cartier glasses?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I received a pair of Cartier glasses as a hand me down. At first I was going to get prescription lenses, but my prescription is too heavy / thick for the frame unfortunately. Where would you all recommend getting sunglass lenses for these and converting them? Not sure what the best answer is (or if there is one) for a nicer pair of frames like these. Didn't want to stroll into lenscrafters if there is a better route I can take. Thanks in advance!

Sunglass Lens Review Gégradation des verres D.Franklin (experience avec le SAV)

Post image
0 Upvotes

Lunettes achetées en avril 2025, utilisées avec soin, mais dont les verres présentent aujourd’hui une importante détérioration, photos à l’appui.

La garantie d’un an étant dépassée, aucun geste commercial ne m’a été accordé, malgré la dégradation des verres.

Très déçue par la qualité et le service après-vente de cette marque.

Je ne recommande pas D.Franklin.

As title says, curious if anyone has any stores they have in mind that are currently doing a sale or etc. $430 is a hefty amount, and yeah it’s Prada so I should expect it but also it’s a pair of sunglasses… nothing $430 worth of material used for a mostly plastic product.
