What kind of sunglasses do you wear with your Rolex?

I wear Maui Jim Typhoons. I used to wear Revo's H2O's. I am looking for another type of sunglass similiar to the Typhoons. I want a good lens, light weight, good for the beach.

I wish - It's a building by my work place - I jumped out and took a picture before the security guy came out - Turns out he said "You want me to take a picture for you" - LOL.

PS - The picture below was a year ago when - I've since lost 39lbs

I have a pair of Juliets that are identical to yours.

I bought a pair of Half wires over the winter and have been wearing those for the last while now. But I still love the Juliets - had them since the summer of 2000 and they are still going strong!

Nice Bimmer BTW. Have a Z4 myself and the wife drives a 325xi.

One pair of prescription Oliver Peoples, One pair of prescription Kenneth Coles. If my eyes were not so bad, I would get Serengeti's but they are wraps and I can't get a prescription in them.

I LOVE Oliver Peoples Sunglasses. they make some of the best lenses in the business and are extremely high quality. www.oliverpeoples.com

I own four pairs of Oliver Peoples, the one pictured below are the only ones I own that I can find a pic of.

My Peeples are horn rim traditional frames, with prescription lenses. They look like the sunglasses James Dean used to wear....Very trad yet still edgy and nice looking with a suit and tie. My weakness is cordovan shoes.

I just go Honda with cars. Seemless value with never a mechanical worry. But I do like shell cordovan shoes, Rollies, good accessories and good pens. I save lots of money not going for the "German Road Car" of my younger years. I have spent a small fortune on cars, and the worst investment there is.

Good advice on the cars,Mr Lawman I hope the youngsters(like myself,38 years,but looking 28 .... ) on this forum is reading this.A car is a BAD investment !! Investment is actually not the correct word.I have MANY colleagues,driving fancy cars which they pay off,over many years ..then they think a Rolex is expensive

I drive a BMW 330d,from 2003,which I bought cash.Fantastic car,paid for and not to be replaced soon,inexpensive insurance,too ...

When I was buying my GTI Golf I financed a small amount to make the purchase. What was interesting was the Finance guy at the Dealer telling me how young guys around the 19-25yr old mark actually borrow like $40,000AU to get their WRXs and other high performance Australian made vehicles and then they spend $1000s more to get those 22" rims and big exhausts... getting themselves in major debt at such a young age. It's totally nuts.

I've been there and done that with financing cars.... usually the novelty of the car ownership wears off WAY before the finance interest is paid off.

Thank goodness some people see things sensibly too!
While I would love a nicer car, but I'm happy that it runs well, has good aircon, and is still under warranty. For something that I drive only 10-20mins a day, it does me just fine and I paid for it all. At my age, I'm always tempted by something nicer, but then rattle my skull and think exactly the way that Amanda does.

Oh, and sunglasses... I'm got a pair of light Arnette rimmless that are very light and comfortable, and a pair of big, black Police that are great in our sun...and for a sore-headed sunday
