A couple extra notes would be: All the metal frames by b&l were handmade in USA with 160 different steps (similar to Randolph engineering) and all the gold frames are gold plated with 23k gold, and in the case of the black a silver pairs, they are chrome plated, not sprayed painted, in order to protect them from rust.

That's great info. Thanks 👍

Bausch and Lomb is the king❤❤❤

I have a pair of B&L Olympians that i still wear. The quality is fantastic.

[@JimIBobIJones]

I have a pair of both vintage B&L and modern Luxxotica Aviators in XL size. They are both gold frame and to me anyway - aside from the lens colour (the B&L one is very slightly mirrored brown/blue, the modern are polarised green) - they feel pretty damn identical.

I've got a new pair of RB aviators with ambermatic lenses. They're photochromatic. Love the retro vibe, and they make everything look warmer. Gray days less depressing. Just wish they were made stronger. The metal bends too easily. Feels cheap. I'm afraid to overwear them. Limited run. Can't find another. Perhaps I'll look for a mint B&L pair. Wish Randolph made a yellow, orange or amber lens. Guess I could put custom lenses in a pair of Concords. Wouldn't be glass though, unfortunately.

[@paulodacunhaalegre]

I have a 1971 model, others from 1994 and, more recently, some models from 2019 onwards. The G15 B&L lenses have a slightly different (lighter) color than the Luxottica model.

[@ShadeReview]

Awesome collection thanks for sharing!

[@williamferreira5798]

I have an aviator BL and theres no ray ban logo on the lens. I wish theres a way to find out the year it was made.

Greatest sunglasses of all time. Can you get the original caravan large size NOT new caravan, with brown crystal lenses?

[@prudentjb]

Can u review the flying colors version

[@markzoldyck]

I love the classic more durable!!

[@chepibe2011]

Got the opportunity to buy a pair of Ray Ban 1/10 12K GP small from the 40s probably. On top of the bridge they only say Ray Ban. Any good for actual use?

[@marclafferty6416]

I have about 20 pairs of raybans and all but 1 pairs are vintage B&L. I have 1 modern pair of wayfarers that I take on holiday and they are no where near as good as the OG pairs.

[@bc6790]

Nice guy 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@TheCowthulu]

The original would look more green likely because the glass is thicker. As the color is part of the glass and not a coating on the lenses the thickness of the glass would increase the green color of the glass tint.

[@ShadeReview]

Interesting thanks for sharing!

[@shtookatz]

B&L every time! There are still plenty around.

[@sukhmanisingh2370]

I am from india and I want to buy b&L aviator plz reply if u provide me

[@shafrizalmdnoor9254]

B&L please make ray ban back,just put The Ray Ban..😎🤓😎

[@leandroalbertomoraissiquei1626]

Ray Ban B&L Italy is original?

[@Ndrew556]

Nope

[@raselkhan7720]

Modern luxottica ones last 2 to 4 years but bausch and lomb ones 20 years that’s why the vintage one you’re reviewing is still in good shape . Night and day difference between quality. Luxottica sunglasses are fully crap now.

[@attilab.2818]

Nope.

[@MrSpiderlions]

had a Luxottica aviators for over 5 years and lost them on the beach. they were in perfect shape.

[@JrnBakken-qd8wk]

Bausch and Lomb Ray-Ban was pretty crap in the end also. The last years of BL Ray-Ban they were sold in gas stations. The quality was terrible and Luxotica did save the Ray-Ban name from dissapearing. The older BL Ray-Ban was amazing, but the last years in the 90’s was much worse than today.

[@vasilileung2204]

May I humbly make a suggestion: can you add a segment to your reviews where you pop them on the top of your head and describe how it feels from the way it sits and if they easily slip off. For those of us that likes to wear sunglasses on the top of our heads from time to time

[@thcannabimon9390]

Shouldn't do that and no true sunglass enthusiast will forgive you. 😢

[@Ndrew556]

No one here does that my boy 😂

[@vasilileung2204]

@@thcannabimon9390 I do that. And I’m not a “true sunglass enthusiast “ in your eyes. Is that ok?

[@thcannabimon9390]

@@vasilileung2204 Why would you do that ?. It's an eyewear not a headwear. 🤣

[@thcannabimon9390]

@@vasilileung2204 even if you call yourself a sunglass guy, no sunglass reviewer is gonna do such a review for you even if you personally ask them. We consider that as a barbarian act.
