My Vintage Bausch & Lomb Ray Ban Wayfarer | History & Review

[@robg2657]

Just watched your latest upload and then this one popped up in the algorithm. I own four pair of vintage B&L Ray Bans. I have two Wayfarer in black and tortoise, the Club Masters, and the Shooter aviators. I was collecting them for a hot minute and even had some Olympians and a pair of foldable scratch resistant Cats! I sold most of them but kept the four I have now because they are my favorites. The classics never go out of style and Wayfarers are ingrained in pop culture, seen in countless movies and mentioned by name in popular music.

Agreed!

Awesome video man. I just purchased my own pair exactly like yours wayfarer series 3 and they are by far the classiest pair of glasses in my collection. Love the no logo and the history behind the glasses, look forward to bringing them out to the world and giving them another life 😌

[@JamesHerlihy]

Hell yeah Dude! Enjoy them!

I have the same glasses, B & L Rayban Wayfarer 5022. After 40 years of wear they will bow outward like yours. It's an easy fix. Use a hairdryer and heat up the sides where the hinges are and slightly push down. You can also heat up the rear of the temple arms to tighten things up around your ears. Buy a cheap pair and experiment on those before tackling yours if you've never adjusted Raybans before.

I had a pair but I lost them. I want to buy them again. How can I spot if they re fake or authentic? Thanks you

[@JamesHerlihy]

I honestly don't think they are being faked that much. I would trust the seller.

[@gf89928]

@@JamesHerlihythank you. Would you trust someone that is selling them for 65£?
