$1000 VS $4000 Glasses Wardrobes - Compared

[@ellyrob2002]

I need to pay this guy a visit

[@thespectaclefactory]

We'd love to welcome you!

[@Joparekhno]

a mixed of both would make my perfect eye wardrobe!

[@ralphwilliams8083]

Hopefully, you're feeling much better, Robert!

[@thespectaclefactory]

I'm getting there! It's affected my confidence a little.

[@ralphwilliams8083]

@thespectaclefactory You'll be 100% in short time! We hope to meet you sometime in 2024.

If you had Covid, I had problems recovering & can recommend a small drink from M&S called “Hot Shots” its a Cold Pressed Juice Shot. Orange, Lemon, Ginger, Turmeric, Cayenne. I was back to normal after 2 of them over 2 days. Its found in the sandwich section in the Food Hall.

[@nickgreenspan877]

Great video, Love the Zeppelin! Good to see you are on the mend

[@stoehr]

As a fellow minimalist…I’d of course rock the budget side (especially the RE’s). But the LDS joints are minimalist while at the same time…so bespoke. Great vid. Glad you’re feeling better!

[@topspin1715]

I have LDS from Robert, its the Petrus Col 1 with 25% blue gradient tint.

[@davidliu8796]

All super tasteful... as usual. Great clip!

[@deanthompson4381]

Thank you, Robert, for this comparison video. I just purchased two new frames, and lenses, Monday. Both sides of the table would be wonderful to wear and be seen in. I wish the city that I live in would have more options for optical stores.

[@thespectaclefactory]

🙏

[@TheKristenCardiasmenosProject]

A very interesting comparison!

[@thespectaclefactory]

I thought so, too

[@RuiArtur]

The Ahlem glasses are 🔥🔥🔥

[@thespectaclefactory]

Agreed!

[@canibusnj]

I'm an eyewear enthuiasts and collector. I actually like the budget collection more than the luxury collection. Cartier is my favorite brand, but I personally gravitate towards vintage Cartier. I do have a couple of exclusive pieces from Cartier. I guess JF Rey would be on the higher end. I like there eyewear a lot. My next pair will be either from Gast or the JF Rey 2914. Those particular JF Rey's are stunning!!

[@lmrcole]

Love the content Rob your the best when it comes to speaking about frames on KZbin but what would make things more interesting is talking/presenting brands outside of what you sell in your shop as a authorized dealer. Sometimes your a bit bias but I understand its your opinion 😊. Looking forward to watching more videos I definitely learn alot from you.

[@rigatake5]

Hey Robert. I see you have a pretty nice watch collection! I've seen some Cartiers and Grand Seikos. Can you show us your collection and the glasses you like to pair with them?

[@AlbinoBlackSheep28]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Your passion for eyewear truly shows. Question: What is your opinion on Jean Paul Gaultier glasses?

[@johngrath9773]

Great video. The Ahlems look stunning. Question: do sun clips add much weight?

[@thespectaclefactory]

These ones are fairly lightweight, but it is an extra frame and set of lenses at the end of the day...

[@BadmashKing8]

I wish they had a store in US, I would love to visit!

[@thespectaclefactory]

most of our clients are in the US, but yeah, I'm hoping to build a store there soon

[@BadmashKing8]

@@thespectaclefactory sweet! Also, do you guys offer prescription on all glasses if I buy online? I don’t think I saw that as an option.

[@relaxationzone8834]

Worth it! Cartier - even more!

[@thespectaclefactory]

💯

[@rafaelcastillo8573]

Is it difficult for rimless frames for those with progressive lenses? How do you make sure the fit will be right? Thank you so much.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Nope, rimless frames with progressives are no problem at all

[@philipphortnagl2486]

I know you speak a lot about the Italian brand Gast for their good quality/price ratio, what about RetroSuperFuture, also Italian, is their quality fair?

[@MuhammadRehanBurney]

My vote is for AHLEM PLACE DAUPHINE. I think they are superb in every aspect. Wonder if they make the same frame in silvery colour- Titanium,White gold or Platinum?

[@PivotMania]

I wish the lenses were added into the equation, aren't Zeiss lenses fairly pricey?

[@thespectaclefactory]

But you don't have to get Zeiss lenses. It's hard to add lenses into the price because they are different depending on your prescription

[@rajbandi1878]

What are your thoughts on Cubbits London?

[@SkyNet-v4n]

Hey I’ve been following your content lately and planning to purchase Cartier black buffalo horn glasses (with proscription, long distance and transition lenses preferably dark black) how much would it be, a rough estimate would be appreciated.cheers !

[@philipphortnagl2486]

Do you sell in your store the brands you have in the Online Store on your website or also others? Maybe JMM?

[@truckernige]

Hi Robert, i blew the budget… lol… great vid once again, seer you in a fortnight… can’t wait.

[@knightowl7]

I swear this channel is worse than crack cocaine.after watching I Immediately bought the Ahlem Dauphine in rose gold with the matching sun clip with the blue lenses. I didn’t even want a new pair of glasses ….Thanks Robert …Not Keep up the great work. You’re helping glasses wearers the world over, up their game

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thanks so much! And nice choice!

[@joebloggs4191]

This is just the cost of the frames? If I had to add my prescription lenses at around £600 to £700 even the budget collection gets terribly expensive! Also why are you quoting in dollars when you are based in UK? Perhaps quote in £s and put up text on screen for the equivalent $ and €, just a thought.

[@joebloggs4191]

@@agnesolsvik Exactly ok some may not need such expensive prescriptions but still you have to include the costs. Also factor in for many people their prescription changes every couple of years, this soon becomes a very expensive exercise! I don’t many that can afford to spend 3k or so every two years.

[@AakarshanB]

£600? That's crazy. Just got some new rimless glasses with tinted zeiss clear view lenses with duravision platinum and the lenses were £70 for -6.00 prescription.

[@joebloggs4191]

@@AakarshanB When you need verifocals it's whole different ball game. The ones I have with Smartlife, Photofusion X and flash coating cost me 650€ but you can get even more expensive than that, I was quoted by an official Zeiss Center 1000€!!!! Single visions are much much cheaper! Had Specsavers before cost me around 400€ for two pairs with the frames lol but they weren't as good as these although not sure these are worth that massive price difference though.

[@vimalraj5921]

Hi

[@uctpclh]

I would much prefer one good pair rather than 3 mediocre ones.

[@MrMarcusKingdom]

My eyeglass wardrobe for 2024 is going to be about $1,500 😢 and that’s with insurance.

[@readthetype]

So now “budget” is considered $1,000.00? And instead of one pair, you want me to buy *three* pairs, because… you love me? I’m not certain you’ve thought your position through. You think we see someone giving us valuable information because they love us. In reality, we see someone who’s inevitably going to tell us that whatever he just told us no longer applies. For example: _“I know I told you $1,000.00 and three pairs, but that’s no longer true. Now, you need to give me $3,000.00, and you should have at least _*_five_*_ pairs. Normally I wouldn’t tell people this, but I’m telling you, because I love you.”_ Something like that?
