Oh Robert. Sorry to hear you been taken poorly. Speedy recovery to yourself amd your team memebers who are suffering. Thankyou for still posting and providing us with your knowledge. X
Thank you so much x
I hope you and your team feel better soon!
I've got the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer and I did swap the Rx lenses of my old Wayfarer Ease into it. A bit tricky to do since you can't heat the frames. I love the look now that I have Rx transition lenses on it. Keeps my hands free and the POV shots are cool. It's a plus that I get to leave my earphones at home now that I can listen with the open ear audio from the Smartglasses.
Sorry to hear you're under the weather Robert. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Thanks for putting this out even when you should probably be hold up in bed. I was beginning to wonder if my follow-up email to your response had somehow put you off but this certainly explains any delay in communication. Thanks again for all you do!
Rick Rubin, “The Creative Act” It’s like he’s inside my head. And through you I understand the manifesto, which seems so obvious to me now.
Thank you so much for answering my question! Love the approach and your authenticity really makes this special.
Thanks for the great question
It's 4 months later. I hope you're feeling better. In December I had Covid for month. Lost my sense of taste and smell. Lost 30 pounds. Couldn't get out of bed for a month. It took me a long time to gather my strength back. We are all human. Life isn't just about work. Life is living.
Oh darn! Hope you get better soon. Been down since before X-mas too. It's going around all over this planet. Sending healing thoughts from afar. Great video as always, mahalo!
Same to you! Hope you're on the mend x
Wish you better.
I have had strange symptoms like that too for over two weeks now. Chesty, runny nose and sneezing - non-stop.
Getting better, but haven't shaken it off completely so far. The longest time I have ever had this!
I'm glad you're on the mend. I'm starting to feel better now, too
Your passion for glasses is infectious! Thanks for sharing. Feel better soon!
Oh thank you!
Feel me better soon my friend. Thank you for your hard work.😊😊
Thanks for the tip at the end, was looking quite long for something like a good magazine as Spectr. Great that you are so open about information
You're welcome! Enjoy
Love the great video Robert. Thank you for answering a few of my questions. Wish you the best and hope you get better soon.
Thanks for the questions!
@@thespectaclefactory of course. Can’t wait to see the next great content on the greatest eyewear channel on RUclips.
Please take care of your health! You've done the right thing. Stay home. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Thank you for not pushing through and exposing your colleagues also. Sometimes you have to put yourself first in order to take care of others later.
I'm just getting over that sickness, and I haven't been sick since Dec 2019. It's different
Yeah, I don't go down easy! Hope you're fully recovered now!
Take care of yourself Robert! Such a commitment even when you are sick. Be well!
Thank you! I'm on the mend
Get well soon Robert 🙌 your dedication is inspiring 🙏
Thank you!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Hi Robert, i don’t think you can put a limit on any “collection”. Get what you want and own them, to hell with limits.. if you can afford it, go for it.. wear them, wear them all or what’s the point? Get well soon lad.
Hope you get well soon. Love your program. It’s fun and very educational. Just wanted to know your thoughts on the omega and montblanc sunglasses
Thanks
Get well soon
Get well soon ❣
Get well soon my friend.
My biggest issue with eyeglass frames is that companies do such a poor job at advertising and promoting what makes their frame worth what they're charging. Why is one titanium frame $20 bucks versus another that is $400 or what not. Some frames are very easy to see where the money is but others feels like a crapshoot.
Hope you and the 2 orhers from your team feel better soon
Thanks, Juan!
Hope you are feeling a lot better soon. 👍
I'm starting to recover
Hello Robert, I hope that you get well soon! Would you please tell me your thoughts on a Swedish eyewear brand called CHIMI ? Any ideas about the quality? Thank you.
Hi Robert …We travelled from Yorkshire and made a day of it - likewise will be doing the same this weekend to collect our glasses 🤓
Then I should see you!
@@thespectaclefactory bright and early looking forward to it 🤓… put the kettle on we love a cup of tea ☕️
Was great to meet you today Robert, thankyou for your help and guidance …looking forward to the summer and showing off my diamond flash coating 🤓😎…. And ultimately completing on another pair 😊
i have a collection of 20 pairs .. i guess addiction lol!! from dita, chrome hearts,jmm,matsuda, kubaraum, lv.. all are good in its own way!! just buy it! wear it, enjoy it, and youll be fine
Thanks for sharing!! Nice collection
If it makes you feel any better it’s because of you I decided to get gast with bi gradient tint! I used to always get cheap glasses but wearing them everyday needed an upgrade!
That does make me feel better!
I have a question. I get the cartier glasses look great. But For that price, you can have a bespoke pair of glasses from Maison Bonnet or Ateliers Baudin (I think the acetate pair starts with that $1k mark and horn starts with $1.7k or something? ). Given that, why should anyone buy a carrier? Isn't a bespoke pair better? (Though I am not uptodate about their current pricing. If you could get some info on that, it would be really helpful.
There are definitely acetate frames that will suit Asian noses - cutler and gross being one of them (ie no nose pads!). Thank you Robert for taking the time to answer some questions even in your state, your passion for glasses is infectious. At first I was worried my ‘collection’ of eyewear couldn’t be justified but I thought, people have a collection of designer handbags, shoes, cars. Glasses is no exception and I absolutely get so much joy wearing my luxury glasses (and compliments that follow!). Get well soon x
Don't you mean that Cutler and Gross doesn't suit Asian noses? They use only the excess acetate from the front to build up the nose but don't stick on any additional material for nose pads. I'm 50/50 on which way to go. I think nose pads are uncomfortable on heavy acetate frames but they are kind of needed unless the brand has reduced the size of the bridge to make it work without them. I know with brands like Ahlem, some Asian stores add nose pads to the frames before they go on sale.
@@pato10111 nope, I’m Asian and have low bridge and I’m about to pick up my third pair of cutler sunglasses this week. I too was very surprised when I tried my first pair of C&G and couldn’t believe it just sat on my nose! I will say it’s not all models but my optical shop has an incredible range. The common theme with the three pairs of C&G I own is that it all has a smaller gap in the bridge - as you just mentioned.
Other than that, my day to day specs all have nose pads - except for my Masunaga which again, no nose pads!
Do you have a good optician? They make a world of difference getting the fit perfect. I don’t own any glasses with custom nose pads added. Either they have them or don’t. I’m a massive fan of Theos. check those out!
@@Maggie2809 I reckon Cutler and Gross have perfected the no nose pad fit in that case which is great because nose pads are uncomfortable. I mostly wear brands that don't use nose pads.
hey Robert! What do you think about Matsuda? Any future reviews on them?
Hey Robert, get well soon.
Thank you! Working on it!
Rob! Get well soon mate!
Thank you! I'm getting there
Lol. Here I am watching the video and trying to convince myself to get a 2nd pair for back up (1st time in 30 years of wearing glasses that I feel the need to have a 2nd Pair at once.. all b/c I just learned how cheap online glasses can be!! 😂
Get well soon Robert, rest a bit
What do you think of the Mykita Mylon material? Is it any good?
Everywhere I search, I see Jacques Marie Mage recommended. I know you're paying for a name, but I hear the experience and quality is phenomenal. I ordered a pair of silver Ugo's from their titanium collection, and they will arrive tomorrow. However, I don't know if I will keep them; we'll see how impressive they are. My biggest curiosity is the lens being CR39. I'm not educated enough to understand why I see non-polarized lenses for all the high-high end sunglasses. Why is that? And what is your opinion on JMM?
Thank you for reading.
Sending you best wishes for better health soon.
💓 thank you!
Sorry you are unwell. Get better soon and take care of you
Thanks! Just about starting to get better now
So glad to hear you are on the upward stroke. Sending the best wishes for good health and fast recovery
Maybe for a video: what is the logic behind your “10 frame” min wardrobe? (After all I need an excuse to pick up another 4 pairs from you 😏)
Do Reykjavik Eyes titanium frames require special tools and ability of an optician to install lenses to? Or the fitting process is similar to cord (half rim) frames? I hope you recovered well by now.
No special tools, but you want to order them through a specialist optician like us, as they aren't simple to work with.
What are your thoughts on Matsuda? I just got my first pair of sunglasses(3115) I am looking to get a pair of glasses(3118) I really like from them also!
Matsuda are great!
What glasses are u wearing?
In this one it's my Allied Metal Works aviators - they were from a capsule collection between Barton Perreira and Reykjavik Eyes - no longer available
Oh, ok thanks@@thespectaclefactory
it would be cool if you could also make a collaboration video with another youtube eye or glasses youtuber like Doctor Eye Health and talk about your favorite glasses or how you would style him. that would be cool
I'm definitely interested in doing that this year
@@thespectaclefactory awesome. Like an eye care and eye fashion video collaboration or something 🤓😁
Shit man hope you’re doing well I’ve got something to do I know ya pain 🥲
🙏
I don’t completely understand the ray ban smart glasses. They are pretty similar to the Snapchat Spectacles that Snapchat has been experimenting with since 2016 and the New Spectacles from 2021 also have AR and pretty comparable specs to the Ray Bans. The main thing that seems to be different is the integrated audio, but those features seem like they would be better suited delegated to something like AirPods. I’d rather have my glasses be lighter than include the audio system which may be redundant. I think when smart glasses mature more they offer a lot of promise, but I find Meta’s offering a bit underwhelming considering where Snapchat was a few years ago.
I bought a dita that worth $1300 and i have a rayban worth $300 and those cheap glasses looks better than me
Thanks, so sorry your so under the weather
Get better buddy!
Working on it!
More volume please.
How much does your average pair of glasses cost?
We cover almost the full spectrum, anywhere from $200 to $2,000+. I treat each client equally whatever their budget.
@@thespectaclefactory thanks. I hope you are feeling better. I would like to see a demo of your online consultations I wonder how it works choosing frames you can’t try on especially for progressive lenses.
The most important thing is not the brand, style or color. The frame must fit/compliment your face. That's it.
You can buy yourself the most expensive clothing in the world but if its the wrong size youll look like a clown regardless of materials used.
@@agnesolsvik thank you for sharing your complete lack of comprehension skills with me. Now I know to ignore you
You're literally commenting on a channel which said people need to stop with the whole face shape thing. @@didamnesia3575
