A bit off track, but not sure if anyone ID'ed these posted by Jaymig926 way back on page 135.
I can't seem to find any answer to it already, or any mention of the frames here on the thread.
If they are not already ID'ed or common knowledge, then I think they are Warby Parker Eaton 328 tree swallow fade (a greeny blue over light brown) in one size of 52-20-142.
With this forums tried and tested method of turning the image color right up(!), you can see them much better.
I hope that's them, 'cos I've just went and bought some for $30!!

After giving up patiently searching for a total bargain, finally ordered some "Flight .006 7806 A" after nearly 2 years!
Pretavoir has a limited amount in stock, ready to ship.

Should get them very soon, hope it's enough time to recover from the "open wallet surgery!!"

I'm about to do the same.
Had my eye on this site for a bit: DITA FLIGHT 006 SUN
If I ordered the "Smoke Grey/Black Palladium WITH BLUE MIRROR LENSES" and added the "custom Avengers Light Blue-Grey Lenses with Anti-Reflective", how movie accurate is that?
Scanning through (rather quickly mind you) the crazy number of pages since my last post on this thread (really need to give the 182 pages a proper read, there's gold in here
) I spotted references to the nose pads differing between IW and FFH. These look gold. So IW accurate then?Figured it's pretty simple just adding the movie lenses in the same transaction here, but are they really screen accurate or just Luxury Eyesite's interpretation of screen accurate? Anyone have experience with these?
On second thought, looks like from Dita direct in Au is a better price (670AUD vs ~800AUD without the avengers lenses)
dita.com
Would this be a better source, and gets the avengers (they're different for FFH hey?) lenses from another supplier? Who's good?
DITA FLIGHT.006
Fighter pilots, revered among soldiers for their daring and swagger, became something of a style inspiration for men in the post-war years, and no other item conveys their iconic status as clearly as the aviator frame. Flight 006 is DITA’s tribute to the bravery of those pilots, in the classic...

The IW 006's definitely have the gold nose pads...On second thought, looks like from Dita direct in Au is a better price (670AUD vs ~800AUD without the avengers lenses)

..so 7806 "A".
*** edit**
It's probably already been covered with different pics, but you can see the gold nose pads on the FFH 006's in most shots, including when they are dropped on the bus...
As far as the movie 006 lenses go, I believe there are a few routes for you to take:
Jason's own light blue.
Dita's own light blue (etched "Dita Flight 006").
Luxury Eyesite's own light blue.
Tanya from propspecs own light blue.
They seem to all vary slightly in how light blue they are, but IMO if you want 100% movie accurate, then it's Tanya's blue lenses, as I think she made the actual movie versions.

Damn. Let me add them the other day. They don't appear there anymore
I probably won't get that chance being in Aus. Not many if any Dita stores here.
Is there a web address or contact details for propspecs?
Can't really tell if the luxuryeyesite ones have gold pads. The only pic for the blue mirrored ones is a less res screen grab from IW

Luxury Eyesite have both 7806 G (dark grey lenses/silver nose pads) & 7806 A (blue mirror lenses/gold nose pads).Damn. Let me add them the other day. They don't appear there anymore

It let's you add both "to cart", but it looks like both are "pre paid" - "first come first serve" orders only, as they are both on back order...
7806 A expected June 2020.
7806 G expected late March in a limited supply.
Info. updated today..
A tiny bit misleading though, as they state "the smoke grey colors are exactly the same with the exception of the original Dita lenses that are included".
True, yes, but the nose pads are different colors.
Easily rectified though, if you have access to a Dita store, like Jaymig926 said, Dita will swap them.
If you don't, persevere for the 7806 A, as Dita haven't responded to any emails I have ever sent them
Looks like Pretavoir just ran out of 7806 A too...

006's arrived today!!!
I've blanked out the serial no. on the box, 'cos I have to register them with Dita.
The roll up case is a bit weird (but still stylish), if I take them outside, I think I'll be putting them in a hard case for more protection!
So for anyone's reference, I though it would be a good opportunity to share my quick and honest comparison of the 006's with the Magnoli's.
They seem the same in size and looks.
I don't think there would be many outside of our thread, that could even notice the difference.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that as the lenses look so alike, they probably would be able to be swapped over....I'll probably carefully try this at some point, to see how accurate the sizes are.
On my (probably not that accurate) Salter digital kitchen scales, the 006's are 24g and the Magnoli's come in at 20g.
The initial small differences when looked at quite close are:
The nose pad holder arms emanate from the main frame differently....
...and the gold nose pads on the 006's are longer and "fixed", whereas the Magnoli's are shorter, shaped different and have a gentle "rattle" in the pad holder - (the same nose pad rattle as my M3023's! - maybe my Matsuda's need tightening!)
The 006's smoke palladium frame color is slightly darker than the more shiny and polished frame on the Magnoli's.
The nose bridge is shaped more rounded on the 006's.
The brow bar is thicker and protrudes further outwards off the frame front on the 006's.
The lenses are slightly more convex on the Magnoli's.
The blue transparent lens rim inserts are a bit more blue on the Magnoli's, more noticable when held up to the light.
Finer, less noticable details that are different:
The hinge screws.
The diamond pressed details.
Obviously, the various model etchings and markings.
One thing I did notice, is that the 006's smoke grey palladium frames seem to pick up fingerprints etc. fairly easily when handled, compared to the Magnoli's, which don't seem to need as much attention from the polishing cloth.
This may just be down to me being a lot more nervous handing the 006's! Lol.
In the same vein as Mosley Tribes Bromley's v Initium 3000's, overall, the Magnoli frames really do hold up well against the 006's and with them being also in titanium, IMO are amazing value, especially with the polarized lenses and the polished wooden FFH style box.
I'm really pleased to own both pairs.
That said, my wallet is worried I've now caught the Dita bug....no known cure!!
Now it's time to sort out which avenue to go down for the light blue lenses!

Off track a bit...
Picked up this rather nice Matsuda felt lined presentation/storage case with outer box.
I think it must be wood as it feels solid and weighty like wood. From what I can gather, they originally came supplied with the 1016H model.
My plan was to store the M3023's inside, but annoyingly, both their boxes are a bit big in height and the lid won't close! D'oh!
Two slimmer design OG Matsuda cases will fit though
So I've had to settle for now, just keeping the M2002's in there.
It has given them that extra premium expensive luxury touch, very similar to expensive jewelry or watches.
