Hello everyone, I am new here. I would like to ask for some help.I live in greece and had boughta magnesium m frame with dark black lens. Problem is that my wifes ex best girlfriend sat on the glasses and the lens broke in two.

I also cant find the nose rubber. Are these parts ever replaceable?

Welcome to the forum! You definitely can find replacement parts for the M Frame. You can usually find them easily in the Exchange sections here. There are also several aftermarket suppliers out there:



That’s a mag m frame, not an m frame. Parts can be found but are very hard to come by these days. No aftermarket lenses exist so the OP is going to have to source an OEM one.

Ha! Thanks, skimmed it and missed the Mag!
 
Where are you based? Tell me the price if you like. If its too much maybe I wont even bother and just sell the frame. Wich lens do.you got an do you have a a.nose rubber too?

OEM lens or a really good repair. Getting the rough edges to align will be a challenge, though I could see a cool set of "stitches" with epoxy to hold those together. Bright red thread as the stitches could look incredible.
Here is what it might look like. Could use clear monofilament line or fine copper wire, all embedded in CCA glue. It is not the aesthetic for everyone, I know. Though showcasing your skills to keep your favorites on the road a few more years is great fun, IMO

No way don’t try to repair it with that or any type of glue as it won’t hold. I’ve repaired a few lenses so far and this is the best solution I have come up with. These were cuts that the owner chopped off to much of the tab. Once cured, it’s as strong as the original lens and holds up to the stress put upon it once mounted in an M frame

I respect that repairs are not preferred and in this case, will never look right. If user cannot find a replacement, repair may be the only option. A well executed repair could highlight the fix as a feature, likes scars add character to a face.... I have noted elsewhere that one could use parts from the rimless glasses world to bridge this break and keep them rolling.

Here is a bridge with 4 screws to hold together, yes, not at all original, black marker to color to match......


or this one, bridge with nose pads, solves two problems, creates a visual problem,
