Looking for sunglasses like the 2003 Valves

[bloodycool]

Does anyone know of any sunglasses out there (Oakley or otherwise) that are similar to the size and shape of the V1 Oakley Valves (2003-2005)? I really dislike the massive sunglasses that are popular these days and the size and shape of the original Valves are perfect for me. I tried buying some Fuse replacement lenses for one of my pairs of Valves, but the lenses turned out to be pretty much worthless, they completely delaminated within 90 days.

Numerous versions, Fives, Five squared (4+1) Tens and a few others

You could have custom cut lenses, from Oakley donors.
Or,
Scar or Unknown are vaguely similar in vintage, style, and orbital shape, and there’s a pair of each for sale in the EXCHANGE.

@bloodycool agreeing with flyer, above.

I love the Valve 1.0.... the two most similar frames in my opinion are:
* Oakley Minute 1.0
* Oakley Unknown (I have a brand new pair for sale, in the forum)

For your existing valve 1.0…
Hopefully Fuse will warrantee the lenses but you could also try IKON or REVANT who have a decent aftermarket reputation.

I don't think seek optics, a forum sponsor makes lenses for the Valve 1.0. Or Linegear, for that matter.
