    No Way No Day. Even though Mr. Craig Doloff was hired by SGH a year or 2 ago it would be much easier for lux to take on(or over or encompass) someone like serengeti. SEI has to be the most complacent eyeware company on the block. They have great tech in their product but the website they run is way old.

    Come to think about it, so is Lux. Do they still make Orbs?

    Why would the Evil Empire want them anyway. They are about to do to Maui Jim what they did to Oakley at Sunglass Hut

    Because the people at Maui Jim are a bunch of snooty punks who are clueless about the ophthalmic eyewear business. Four months ago, they wanted to take their line out of my store....

    OK, so even the EyeMan can make mistakes!!!!!

    A little while back, I made an error on this posting based on a bit of bad information I received.

    I was incorrect about my comments about Maui Jim and Pearle Vision. Maui Jim is still carried by Pearle. I am sorry for any misleading information that I posted and will double check my source before posting again. :hammer:
