Glasses other than oakley?

Chrome Hearts Flavor Savor
Walnut w/ebony cross inlays
 
Forgive me if this is blasphemous and I understand if this gets closed, but I was wondering if anyone has any glasses other than the famous O. Personally I have Perry Ellis prescription glasses for night driving and a pair of Under armour sunglasses I use as sunglasses for camping.
My scripts are Oakley crosslink pro x2 and crosslink sweep x2- but I really like my ray ban 8901 carbon Ferrari.-I have 3.
 
I've heard of Chrome Hearts, what are your thoughts? Give us your review!
The Flavor Savors are my second pair. First being the Slam model (no longer in my possession)

The attention to detail is amazing. I became somewhat infuriated when I decided to disassemble them to clean the sterling bits.
I’ve found out I’m not as good at sorting parts out as I once thought 😂

Once I finished cleaning everything, I began to re-assemble the glasses. I don’t know how to explain without showing it but, if I ever take them apart to clean them again, I will show all the crazy tiny details that get input with the every day functionality of the glasses.

Zeiss is the established optics for Chrome hearts. The hinges are seemingly strong (haven’t sat on them to test that out …. Yet… hopefully never).

If you look straight on at the glasses, the front and sides of the orbital are brushed. The frame has a nice contrast with the polished edges of the frame.

The hinge has a metal t shaped pin going into the arm (the two screws holding the top of the pin, one above hinge, one under hinge are the main foundation point of the hinge. Continue on into the inside of the arm, you will see another screw (somewhat stripped, my fault, am getting replacement screws all the way around, soon). That screw inserts the end of the sterling piece, through the walnut wood of the arm, setting in place into the titanium hinge bar going down the arm, and once again, through the walnut wood, into the drill point in sterling piece on the outer arm.

Nosepieces have a nice cross in each of them.

Then just a view from the top looking down on them.

I’ve been finding myself wearing these much more often, opposed to all the other glasses. I really like the versatility of them.

One gripe I will say, the spring loaded hinges CAN be too good.

If you’re someone like me, when I go inside I like to take them off and just put them around the collar of my shirt. I’ve found with this model in particular (Flavor Savor) it’s somewhat difficult to achieve that without one of the arms to just ever so slightly creep open with the smallest movements. I hate the thought of putting them on top of my head but, I’m okay with a bit of a compromise for such a solid pair of glasses.

The Sterling arrangement design is called “Graveyard”

Sorry it took longer than usual for me to get a more detailed post on them.
