The Definitive What The Heck Are Those Shades Bono is Wearing Thread

[dublin]

So true GVox!!!

 

[coolian2]

That and the fact that they just flat out suck.

They suit my face which I find curious. I just can't find them in a light enough shade due to my appalling tendency to forget to take glasses off when I'm indoors and I end up kneeing a coffee table.

For Sale: a Mint Bvlgari 519 Blue with original Case.

PM me if interested. Serious offers only. I prefer US buyers too.

Thanks

This mint Bvlgari 519 pair has been SOLD!

I'm now considering selling my backup 519 pair for the right price. It's in great condition with original case and cloth. No scratches. Behind the left Bvlgari clip, there are 2 tiny cracks starting at both screws but are NOT visible when worn or displayed. PM if interested.

Thanks

How did this become known? I mean, is there a confirmed sourse like articles, zoomed in pictures, or just our best guess of matching up pictures?

 

[Boltiziar]

Yes Marik, exactly. You are right - we know that from detailed photos, magazines, videos and of course from other collectors. For example check this video in 5:20 - zoomed on Bono´s sunglasses Oliver Peoples in Berlin

My last additions

Oliver Peoples - model After Midnight with customized lenses by optician. Happy Christmass to all fellow collectors!!!

 

[dublin]

Hello My Friend, I just ordered my Oliver People's After Midnight Bushed Silver with Pink Glass lenses - the lenses actually look like Bono's from the photos- do you know if they are when ordered directly or will I need to take them to an optometrist for lenses replacement to make them accurate? Make sense?

 

[marik]

Also, the pictures and links here show B wearing them off stage. Do we have evidence that they are the same he wore onstage for the JT tour? (Of course its most likely, but he has been known to have slight variations for onstage in the past).

And Dublin, where did u find them avail for the cheapest?

 

[dublin]

I found them on eBay US for $249 (included domestic shipping). Way better than the $495 plus shipping I found on the Oliver Peoples site.

ID Help

Hello all.

Can anyone help identify the glasses that Bono is wearing in the photo below. This is a still from the video of U2 doing a surprise concert in a NYC subway station with Jimmy Fallon.

Thank you for any help!!

Do not think so.
Just have a look at the Mikli.com site and did not find them.
Another point the colour of the lenses. They look like 601/8g

[gvox]

Those certainly are not RB4165 601/8G, look at the arms

 

[lobovox]

Those certainly are not RB4165 601/8G, look at the arms

I am good for the lense type.
I agree for the arms and the frame.
So ?
Any guess ?

 

[Martinski]

What would a pair of Bvlgari 8025 732/87 be worth these days? I am not looking to sell my last pair of Bono shades, just curious what they are worth, as iam taking them out sometimes on sunny days to wear as my shades.

[zoomania]

I would say 200-300$. I recently saw a new pair sold for 200$

 

[zoomania]

But I would buy yours
