Oakleys lost to the river :(

[EBoyns2]

I'm a rower and this morning I knocked my XX Twenty Electric Blue Oakleys off my head and into the river. They are now sitting at the bottom of the Thames.

I loved them. I am so gutted. I've had them for 10 years and love everything about them.

Anyone got any advice on how to get another pair?

They were like this:

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my very first pair on a rafting trip many years ago. You were in possession of your much longer so I'm sure your loss is hitting you harder.

Once you gain access to the Trading/Buying forums there are plenty of collectors that sell parts of their collection from time to time. I can't recall seeing your style and color but that's not to say they won't show up. You can even post a "wanting to buy" thread with your requirements and you might be able to "nudge" someone who's been thinking about selling to sell to you.

Welcome to the forum



I concur with everything @Orion said.

I guess you can't go scuba diving for them

That's the most frustrating thing I know where they are but can't get to them.

Sorry to go off topic but how is it "Eboyns" just joined has 2 posts and has 30 trophy points. I have 52 posts and only 8 points? To be perfectly honest I don't care I'm just curious.

Plus I gave you 10,000 points just a few posts ago. Shouldn't that count for something?
