Before I purchased my pair of Persol 714 SM - Steve McQueen Limited Edition (Cafe’ - Blue Polarized lenses) I did the research, I am so glad I did, I love these glasses, thank you Shade Review

Yo acabo de comprar 4 lentes Persol, vivo al norte de Perú y me dio una enorme alegría encontrar Persol en una tienda de lentes . Tengo los 629, 714 (idénticos a los del video) , los pilot y otro modelo más . 3 son polarizados . Estoy enamorado de la Marca

Great review especially with regard to the fine details of the different folding and the temples. I was able to purchase matching color SM temples for my regular 714's and swapped them. I did require some adaptation/adjustment of the temples to fit around my ears nicely. I prefer the parallel shape of the temples of the SM version as they are not so thin as they wrap around the ears. As far as the SM version, I don't care for the blue gradient lenses that they usually come with. Thanks for your excellent attention to detail!

Everyone should have at least one pair of Persol in their sunglass collection and if you are only going to have one pair of Persol its gotta be a 714sm

[@ShadeReview]

Totally agree!

[@attilab.2818]

I thought if you’re only going to have one pair, it must be the 649 original.

[@petrusslijkerman5710]

I just bought a pair today,I’m stoked and impressed👌🏼

[@ryanpacheco4047]

Be original choose your own…

[@adangames2505]

My favorite lenses are Persol Blue gradient polarized. And I own many high end sunglasses. The Persol polarized blue gradient lenses are pretty much unmatched in contrast, comfort and overall optics.

[@BedstuyDude]

Just got a pair of 714. To be honest, I had never heard of Persol prior to purchase, I saw them, loved them and bought them. great sunglasses.

[@emergencyflowers]

Nice review 👍 I own but rarely wear the SM's. The good: These are classics and every time I put them on I'm reminded of how they put many of my other sunglasses to shame, at least when it comes to style. Pure Hollywood. On the right face, they are magic. The bad: they are heavy and slide down my nose. Constantly. I've tried adjusting them, but never could get it right. Never had that issue with with other pairs. It's a shame because they are surprisingly well made too. I think they tend to look better on the older than 35 crowd. My $0.02

[@vijeeshmenon1982]

Hi. Have you tried bending the ear rest after dipping them in warm water. This method works like magic for acetate frames and is a permanent solution to this problem. There are videos on KZbin, on how to do this. Just give it a try. 👍

[@ShadeReview]

If you take them to a professional they should be able to adjust them to fit perfectly! However like you said they are heavy and depending on your nose shape it’s possible they will always tend to slide down after a while! Thanks for the comment!

[@ynysvon]

For me I've found it to be the opposite. My SMs fit perfectly, I never have to push them back up my nose. I did have this issue with my 649s though, I got so fed up with constantly adjusting them that I gave them away.

[@attilab.2818]

I'm jo jealous of the base curve of your 714 and 714SM...mine is almost flat.

[@GertJ]

I own a pair of 714 sm's even in the original colour 24/56 (dark havana, blue lenses), so I favour them. but I like the classic look of Persol sunglasses so I have a few other models too, including the 649

[@MrNandocanel]

Me tocó. I have 4 Persol.

[@tedwan]

What color are the regular PO 714 lenses (blue or grey) ? They look so good.

[@joeframo3347]

You look absolutely great in those glasses you look like a Hollywood star 👍

[@TbonesTech]

Thanks!

[@joeframo3347]

Eventually it'll wear out the frame by rubbing against it like that I don't like that concept I like the other sunglasses

[@ashneel]

can I have them in prescription glasses?

[@stangetz534]

So the regular cheaper 714s don't get the small case to put in when you fold it? The case at 6:09 looks too big!

[@namkkemal3956]

Merhaba videolarınız süper.emeğinize sağlık.kahverengi olanın renk kodu nedir ?

[@bradleemartin6540]

I like both 🤔

[@DwightCastillo]

What is the total 714 width (temple to temple) ?

[@jackdevoe7022]

Forgive me if it was mentioned in the video, but are the lenses on the PO 714s the polarized light blue gradient? They look fantastic, and I would be kicking myself if I ordered anything else.

[@colinmurphy2127]

The SM versions come with polarized lenses as standard. The "normal" 714 is sold with either choice.

[@gallolocoparisien]

The SM edition might fit me better since they have a larger bridge. Thanks for the detailed review 😉

[@floydfloyd8069]

In your opinion which persol model is similar to the ray ban wayfarer style ?

[@vijeeshmenon1982]

Persol 3272, 3269 and 3268

[@ozza4496]

po3291s

[@ShadeReview]

I totally agree with Vijeesh and Ozza44

[@yaakcon]

I WISH THEY HAD LARGER SIZE OF THESE GLASSES. 54 MM IS JUST TOO SMALL ON MY FACE.

[@joeframo3347]

They sure look pretty but I wear prescription shades

[@rickybobby6760]

Just ordered these in a prescription version from the optometrist

[@boyetpogi]

What is the color of the lens of the SM?

[@DwightCastillo]

Same question

[@batuhanbayram7539]

dark grey

[@MarPabl]

Waiting the 🎥 showing how to tighten the 🕶😇

[@american_psycho1147]

just grab a small screwdriver and tighten it. it's not hard. are you stupid?

[@mikerotch6068]

Im so conflicted

[@vijeeshmenon1982]

Awesome !!!

[@joeframo3347]

I'd like the glasses you look great in them but I don't like the glasses for the the design it's too many parts that can break it's got too many parts that can break too many folding parts eventually they'll break people getting a hurry people want to get them on quick I have no desire for this type of style glasses even though they look beautiful they're just something that can break in a matter of time thank you for sharing your video 👍

[@american_psycho1147]

do boomers really not know how punctuation works?

[@bc6790]

Nice guy 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SJSJK187]

I got both 714 and 714SM honestly, the SM’s leg is suck and poor design. Go the original 714

[@zaga7109]

You always have videos about the persol brand and you are constantly praising this brand. Unfortunately, it is difficult to understand what you wanted to do with this video. I think you forgot that 714 is an icon of Persol while you were vilifying 714 about quality control. If any product of a brand has a quality control problem, that mean It's the problem with all their products, including the Steve McQueen version.

[@american_psycho1147]

schizo ramblings

[@notablog4750]

anytime i see someone wiht the reuglar i think they are poor becasue they got the cheeper ones

[@colinmurphy2127]

The irony is that Steve McQueen himself would actually have been wearing the cheaper ones 🤔

[@american_psycho1147]

the regular ones are superior because the folding mechanism is better. the SM version is a poor design choice because of the way the temples rub the lenses. the original is better
