I managed to pick up a pair of the Giorgio Armani Garconne for a great price. I had to settle for the 52 - 18 - 145 but I'm ok with that. Once they arrive they'll be sent to my opticians for the yellow lensesI have the black MT Bromley's too and mine are the same, I thought the logo might have been silver at some point and that it had worn off, but your pic reinforces that the logo is probably just black.
The frames in your pic are, I think, Giorgio Armani "Garconne" AR7019-K 5017 gloss black frame 54□18 145 with custom yellow lenses...

Well said (from the UK)To my friends and brothers on this side of the pond, a Happy Thanksgiving To those located elsewhere, a Happy Thanksgiving to you ALL as well!
I for one am thankful that I discovered this group and the friendships that I’ve made as a result.
All the best to you all!
Anyone looking for a bit of extra Christmas $$$? I’m looking for OP Strathmore in Workman grey.
Just saying!
PM if you can help/we can help each other.
An awesome piece of ingenious creativity!!I made police from Dubery to practice making eyeglasses.
I'm feeling a bit bad as we were both in such friendly competition for the grey Strathmore's!!
After ages of what seemed like endless searching for the discontinued Oliver Peoples Strathmore's in Workman Grey, I've eventually just found myself a brand new pair!!...

I had put the Strathmore's right at the back of my wanted list, mainly due to the tiny amount of screen time and screen "size" appearance in Endgame.
I passed on a used pair a while back that went past the $200 mark and regrettably decided to stop bidding, as I thought another pair would "just turn up"...Yeah right!! D'oh!!
I found them after a quick Google search led me to Pretavoir in the UK - The company is legit and with awesome customer service - I ordered my Dita Flight .006 7806 "A" from them a while back, when no other retailer had any stock.
I'd give Pretavoir a full 5 star ☆☆☆☆☆ rating.
I'd previously looked there for the Strathmore's many times before, but it was always an old web page saying "out of stock".
I just happened to click on it and it showed "in stock" in green...I was like, wait....what?!
I checked with their online chat facility and they confirmed they had a pair in stock.
I didn't hesitate and ordered immediately. I got the discounted "brand new" price, also a free pair of Superdry aviator's in their early Black Friday event and opted for the fastest shipping method.
However, I was still a tiny bit sceptical, so cautiously waited until I had them "in hand" before I could fully confirm my find here.
It's genuinely killing me that there was only 1 pair left and you (and our entire group) couldn't benefit from the find too!!
I would have loved to post the link with "stock available" for everyone here that might need the Strathmore's.
The Google search result showed...

...but then the main site went straight back to showing this again, right after I ordered...

We are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality designer fashion eyewear. As an authorised retailer, we work closely with the worlds largest eyewear suppliers to offer you the latest in luxury glasses & sunglasses.www.pretavoir.co.uk
The exact same thing happened a while back that I mentioned here on the thread, when I found a pair of Raen Ditmar at SmartBuyGlasses..."discontinued, no stock", then ages later, suddenly "1 pair in stock" appeared on the site.
I will obviously still stay on the hunt and will endeavour to help find these OP's for you, but now it has happened to me twice, I think maybe we should all keep regularly checking eyewear retailer's old "out of stock" web pages for "random appearing stock" of sought after frames.
I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for the extra set of eyes in the hunt for the Strathmore's and I'd also like to thank budashlock for also kindly helping to keep an eye out for these too.
I think that's me all complete now (like some lucky others on here too) with my movie frames, inc. 2x safety eyewear and Thorlabs and basically just need 3 sets of custom lenses now (purple for Strathmore's included) to finish my movie collection off.
I did it, phew, what a ride!! - It only took 4 (long) years!! Lol!!
A genuine thank you to every member for their time, interest, help and input on this fantastic thread, you are all what makes this thing just keep going.....just awesome!!
Now, if I can just get all the 4 years of searching back
UV.

Thank you for your kind words my friend, they really are genuinely appreciated...had they not been the last pair to complete my IM collection, they would have been yours.UV,
Congratulations my friend! I am genuinely very happy for you. I love stories like this. If I’ve gotta lose, I’m happy someone on here was able to win. You have been an invaluable resource not only to me, but to the whole community.
Once again, sincere congratulations my friend. I mean that whole heartedly.
He wore them on 28 October 2010 at the Due Date Premiere in LA (Chinese Theater), I found this relatively poor quality interview video:As you know I like to document these RDJ pairs on instagram. Does anyone know where he was spotted wearing these and possible video edivence?
I just got these on posh.
I bought these more than a month ago, almost forgot about them! Nice to have something new for the Christmas tree [emoji1335][emoji1360]
