Have they recreated them from scratch?...Or are they exactly the same as the old pair from years ago!! Pics would be great

It's my understanding they'll be exactly the same, even down to the font style on the inside arms of the originals...got my confirmation email too!!
(not shipped yet though).

Found some Paul Smith Kendon PM8210 1396.
I was going to go with clear lenses on these, but in some pics the lenses seem to have a slight flesh tone tint to them.
So I tried using the closest match I had in my donor lens box.
Also, picked up some Paul Smith Kilburn PM8240U 1132 54□17 150...
They are similar but larger than the Paul Smith Anderson (posted earlier)...
Both are currently RDJ unworn TMK, but I liked the style of them, especially once I'd put custom tints in

My prada pr50vs arrived this morning. Very cool frames.
I'm looking forward to the Carrera 180s arriving next week, they look great. Carrera Champions arrive tomorrow.

can’t wait, I think I’m getting mine in a couple of days!
plus thanks to the incomparable uv400 a got a pair of kendons on ebay, and since I wasn’t buying too many glasses I found the red/tortoise police, too. I’m not expecting to see them in any movie but I’ve always wanted them, but also always postponed, and now initium didn’t have them anymore. I got them on ebay from france, they should be here soon.

Ditto!!
That's so weird, I got my red & tortoise (+ turquoise & extra set of NVAH) all in France too, not so long ago.
gio, nice find man, we must both be looking in the same place, - I've had to use google translate to be able to make purchases, but I'm sort of picking it up...c'est bien!! haha!!
I think I'm getting the same bug as gotmeth366 to collect all of the colors!!
The replicas are stand-ins, Lol

Those Red Havana's look awesome!! - Thanks for the pics, they'll tide me over until mine arrive (very soon hopefully!!).
I've had some of these Oliver Peoples in their case for a while now waiting for lenses...
Oliver Peoples Altman OV5108-S 1001/33 (tick textured clear brown frame) 56□16 145
Finding a good match for these lenses was really difficult, as the gradient goes "starkly" from brown to clear, without much transition.
Anyway, found some gradients, that even though aren't a 100% match, are probably the closest I'm going to find.
So again, out came the glass OP lenses and in when the customs yesterday...
It's a second hand frame and the arms will need a bit of adjustment.
Still no known cure for sunglasses addiction, so I might as well just roll with it!!

Hi everyone.
I contacted Tanya several days ago about the blue dita lenses, I'm still waiting for a reply. Initium replied pretty much straight away, I'll probably go with them.
I have one problem which I'm hoping one of you guys can help with.
If I wanted to swap the lenses myself what is the process with the Dita flights?
I have swapped lenses on a set of the Police s1948s, and Von Zipper Fulton before, but the dita do feel like a serious step up.
Before I would even consider working on them myself some advice, or even a step by step would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

They are really tough to do my guy has done about 5 pairs for me and had become a expert at it he told me dita told him to use dishsoap to help lubricate them. On that note dies anyone have any OEM flight 006 blue avengers lenses they want to sell? Lol

I'm probably best advised to take it to an expert then?

I would however unless they have worked with them before they might scratch the orbitals. They are insanely easy to scratch
