Kind of disappointed.

Had a pair of square wires for many years. Never had any scratches. Picked up a new pair of square wires in bronze lenses because I was tired of the dark gray I had before. After just 3 weeks I have some really bad scratches and my behavior hasn't changed since owning the past pair.

Is there a difference in resistance on the gray lenses vs bronze? Don't feel like paying $101 to replace them if its just going to do the same in another 3 weeks.

Well, it’s hard to know what your behavior has been in years past. But when I come home I run my glasses under the sink and dry them before I clean the lens with a cloth. If I don’t, I could have dust or sand on the lens which will scratch the lenses up bad.

Pretty much what he said, some of the older lenses I’ve noticed can take a bit more of a beating, old m frames, razorblades, eyeshades, the original wire frames.

I still have blade lenses that have been through hell from the 80s tjat look better than my 2014 reissues

Does Bronze have an Iridium coating? If it does it will scratch easier than plain dark grey that doesn't have Ir.

I have a “rule”…
If the sunglasses aren’t on my face, they are in the bag and/or vault.
Not sitting on my desk, on top of my hat, or hanging off my shirt pocket.
It‘s a lot tougher to scratch a lens when it’s right before your eyes.

The listing shows that it does but doesn't have the mirrored look that I usually associate with iridium.

And for being tungsten I thought it would be stronger. I have a tungsten ring that doesn't get scratched at all.

A ring and sunglasses are 2 very different things

But the element is the same right? LOL

But the lenses aren't made of tungsten
