Just a little reminder from the other thread, before you guys get into another 1,000 banger.

Remember, this thread is for discussion only. If you have some Bono shades you wish to sell, please post that information as a separate thread in this forum. Also, you may not link to your own auctions, so if you are selling via an auction, you may not share that information.

If you come across an eBay link that you wish to share as part of the discussion, that is allowed. We just don't allow people to advertise their own auctions.

Okay, I'm done.

summer time here in philly, ive been wearing my brown 519, green 549,versace brown/gold,...what are you kids wearing?

 

[zootv16]

i've been wearing my black flys No.5 lately. the only problem is i cant wear em for too long, they give me a head ach. i need them adjusted.

so im looking for a new pair of Bono shades to buy. help me out guys, what should i get?? please?

im kinda leaning towards Romeo Gigli RG-226

but im not sure, cause i don't know what excaly they look like, its hard to find a decent picture. anyone have one? or actaully have the shades and tell me about em? thanks!!!

 

[gvox]

I'm killin the greenie Armanis lately Badger, and my old standards, the dark brown green/gold ones...and of course, my Beloveds (citrus 519 )

the 226 giglis are good but if the Flys give you a headache for tightness or weight reasons, you'll likely have a similar experience with the 226s - until you get them fitted, of course..at least that was my experience..

 

[Moonwalker_13]

I agree with gvox Zootv16, 226 are a small fit, i had to fit them to my head too, otherwise they'd hurt right side of my head.

gvox -> stop talking about your citrus 519, or I'll steal them from you very soon lol

 

[theFly51]

ive been wearing my blue Flys alot lately

 

[danondorf]

Alternating between 519 Blue/Black and No. 5 Red lately.

 

[naycookeu2]

This week I've been wearing Giorgio Armani 1535 Red, Bvlgari 611 Citrus, Bvlgari 610/519 Blue and my latest addition - EA 9285 Rose, which I got for £12 and are much cooler than I originally thought

Brown 519's this week too...also green R.G. 226's (wish I could find 'em in red but 226's are really hard to come by now, FYI)...

Just curious: what are everybody's lust after wish list?

Besides red 226's; of course, red 519's (wonder what sort of feeding frenzy that would cause -- more than the orange Mikli's went for, I wonder).

 

[gvox]

Am I the only one who ever owned the rose 519s? God I shouldve treated them better...all I have are the pictures and memories now..

 

[Moonwalker_13]

I'm after citrus 519/610 and mauve 519...

I really like the 226, but greenies are my favorite ones so not looking for any other color.

 

[Galeongirl]

you broke the rose 519s??

 

[gvox]

sadly, yes

 

[Galeongirl]

Ouch! how'd you do that?
I'm really careful with mine, especially since they already have the tiny cracks around the screws, but is there anything more I can do to prevent the arms from breaking off?

 

[gvox]

Well as long as you're not throwing them across a stage, you should be alright
oh and don't let anyone wear them

Somebody here has a pair - picture was posted in their collection a few months ago. Can't remember who...

All those 519 colors were all there for the taking for a long time -- I figured they'd be there to get whenever then poof - gone.

 

[zootv16]

well thanks guy. i guess ill have them fitted. well i still am looking to buy. anyone have any good suggestions?

 

[Moonwalker_13]

It's Mr_LeMoN who has pink 519s if I remember correctly

 

[Mr_LeMon]

yup, thats true

 

[gvox]

 

[Galeongirl]

let's mug him!

 

[INSTCUWSUMVC]

Hello everyone I have posted here before but it was a long time ago.
But anyway I have the Armani 9285 in the dark grayish blue and the Miu Miu in champagne so I want to get something different? What should I get? I was thinking the Lennon glasses Bono wore. What brand were those?

 

[Moonwalker_13]

You can find many model similars to those. I have no idea of the ones bono's wearing, but I know Armani made some models like this.

However I have no more info since I personally hate those glasses lol

 

[INSTCUWSUMVC]

Lol, thank you Moonwalker, I might look into buying the Armani ones they look the closest to the ones he wore.

I have them and they are great for extremely bright days, yet they aren't too dark.

Just my two cents, but if you weren't a fan of the dark brown (I wasn't either), you may not be a fan of the dark blues. Eyes aren't visible through the lenses, if that's one question. But, some like 'em - to each his/her own...
