Hi. I am hoping someone can give me advice on restoring a metal frame that has paint chipping away in few places.

A good customer of mine has a Prada frame from around 2010 model year which they...

Thats the one!

Doesnt really say anything interesting about it on the product page. Maybe its not special after all.

Ray-Ban has various limited edition collections like Wayfarer "Prints",...

I have never seen any other RB 2132 with any kinds of flags. Searched this model online and only found that someone on Poshmark sold this frame a while ago. I suspect this model is from around...

I am an avid sunglasses fan and collector as well as a re-seller of vintage / pre-owned sunglasses.

Does anyone have official dealer catalogs for brands like Prada, Chanel, Ray-Ban, Versace,...

Yes, many of the ones I purchased have Nordstrom and Maceys stickers on them as well as general retail stickers.

I did not pay the sticker price. I got them via a middleman liquidator. I have...

Whatever doesnt sell in the supposed final sale ends up in liquidation at fairly low prices. I managed to get a large quantity of it, but only after 1 or 2 middlemen.

I should think the source...

Has anyone ever seen this type of Luxottica "used" stock? Comes without cases and can be in anything from perfect to very poor condition, even with missing lenses or parts.

I think all I can do is just open it up and inspect the ribbon cable in that case.

However I cannot figure out how to open the machine. I do not want to damage anything, but after...

I have a Briot Accura CX which I have been using for half a year now with no issues.

Few days ago I powered it on to do a large batch of jobs and it came up with a message - Battery Voltage Low.

Hi Guys,

I have a problem where my tracer has stopped plotting anything. It powers up and everything appears as normal. However when pressing start the table just keeps spinning around and the...

I would love a new machine but all I can afford is realistically £10K. Not sure what I can get for that?

I made the list with what I seen available for sale on a popular site in UK:

When looking at ME1000 machines there are the following options:



£7.9K - Great working system ME-1000D+ PLB-2R...

Firstly thanks for the reply!

Do you know if the Nidek ME1000 does the trace storage and export to PC as standard or will it need some expansion cards/addons?

Also what did you mean by the...

Can this machine store Trace jobs internally? If so, how many?

Can the lens traces be exported to PC? If so, do you include necessary cables + software to do this?

Hi Folks,

Still cannot make up my mind about which Pattern-less Lens Edger + Tracer to buy.

I run a business restoring vintage and pre-owned designer sunglasses. I also sell aftermarket lenses...

I plan to keep traces of thousands of jobs.

Would you recommend a particular edger?

I would be replacing lenses so would prefer to trace the actual lens rather than the frame.

On my Briot...

Can someone recommend a pattern-less edger worth investing into, which I plan to use for re-glazing sunglasses.

At the moment I have an old Briot 6000 which I got for a really good price, but I...

Thank you for those who replied and I have updated my occupation. sorry :tongue:

Another question I have:

If I go down the route of buying tracer and edger.

Would there be any point in...

Apologies, I didn't list the supplier name so I thought it would be OK.

Hello forum,

I run a small business in UK where I re-sell pre-owned and vintage designer sunglasses by high end brands such as Prada, Gucci, Versace, Chanel etc... I also have a day job so Optical...

One other question I had for you guys is:

Do I need a blocker if I am only ever going to make non-prescription Plastic CR39 lenses.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, I will be buying it for what I think is a good deal. $900 (When converted to US money) in good working condition as described by current owner.

As I build capital, will try...

If by AR you mean Anti Reflective coating. Then no, the new lenses I want to cut do not have this.

The range of base curves will be 2 to 8.

I am also concerned about how reliable such a machine...
