    Suggestions for a dark metal P3-ish frame

    http://www.prodesigndenmark.com/en-U...DEModelNo=4139

    Like the above, but dark gunmetal, possibly black, simple, not trendy, very good quality (titanium a plus).

    Roughly 47 x 39 with very adjustable pad arms (20mm to 22mm DBL), with sufficient room for temple closure for very high minus without rolling the edges.

    Below $400 retail.

    Thanks,

    Robert Martellaro

    Robert, would Safilo Team 3900 47-20 comes in Blk, Safilo E7209 I have in a 48 may come in 46-20. Both end pieces extend toward back and I use both for higher myopes.

    I was about to suggest the same frame Paul.

    Also by Safilo I use the BR Dane http://www.mysafilo.com/?p=product&s...yleNameDetails

    It is a great great frame, looks almost identical to that prodesign, it is stainless steel though not titanium.

    Robert, if it is Titanium your client prefers I would also suggest O & X OT 357 it is a 44-21 but the end piece cantilevers about 6 mm out from either eyewire. The hinge is mounted about 10 mm from the back of the frame front and should accommodate a -20.00 DSPH. Arm guards articulate.

    If it were a P3 it would box 47X44

    Thanks. They still make the 3900? Or is that new? I'll give it a try. The 7209 is too brown.

    The 3900 is still being made in three sizes some color limitations. Thanks for the link, while scrolling down I kept looking for "Kilroy was here" sightings.
