What's your great white whale/ Grail?

[Nyarlathotep]

There are so many, but two that I am pretty sure that I will never see Juan Pablo Montoya's white gascan, or Mark Cavendish's echelon jawbones with the green icons and bolts.

David Flores Gascan 1.0

I know the blue would be easier to get but the 1.0 would be the only gascan Id ever wear period. Yes I said wear haha
Plus Asian fit omatter frames fit my wide head a bit better sometimes, especially judging by my Ichiro radar

Neon Yellow Mumbo with V or 67 lens.

I'm going to have to be boring here and admit that I don't have a Grail.

I've bought and sold OTTs and X-Metal Romeo 1s. Cos I never wore them. (Oh, and cos I'm sorry but OTTs are hugely overrated).
I don't have a massive collection (about 50 pairs or so) but I've pretty much got what I want and love them. Yeah, there's the odd pair that I might end up buying at some point, but nothing that I must buy at all costs.

None of the new styles interest me, and I've either owned or own the older styles that I like.
So basically unless O suddenly make some really nice new must-have frames, you could say I'm done.
(Except for buying more Jinx of course. Derrr.)

Boring, but true.

I don't have a grail either. I'd like to try a Romeo or X-metal XX, but after trying the XS and Juliet that didn't fit at all I'm not too enthusiastic about paying several hundred dollars for a pair I might not be able to wear. And even if I can wear them, there's the feeling of their inevitable demise when a stem breaks, or all the rubber bits are worn and there's no replacements, then I have a paperweight I paid a few hundred bucks for.

I buy my pairs to wear, I'm at 8 right now. I may get more as deals come up, I'd like to add a wire frame of some kind for more formal attire. What I mostly want to do is collect lenses- ideally I'd want one of every lens tint. Buying lenses is almost as expensive as buying a full pair most of the time. As I get more lenses I'll invariably want more frames to hold them so I don't need to swap as often, and that's the main reason I own different pairs.

Artist glasses and signature models don't have much appeal to me. Some of them look pretty sweet and I could see owning them, but for the most part they're made in frames I can't pull off, or they're not really any different than a normal pair save a special color combo.

I would like to branch out a bit. Besides matte black frames I own a black ink. I've owned polished black and I just don't like the feel of the plastic compared to matte. I had the desert Gascan, but the light color combined with the poor fit that wasn't for me forced my hand to sell them. I did like the subdued flag icons soooo much though.

I really wish more frames fit me, and that most of the current big-head specs weren't square frames. I look forward to the pair that replaces the Ten, and I hope they don't **** it up with a wide stem with a hole in it.

maybe that is because nobody has it as it was never made, even though it was set up with 04-133 part code. if there was one, part coded, serialled, in box with matching label, the fight for it would be about as crazy as it could get, and i for one would have my sleeves well and truely rolled up. what a piece this would have been, my grail too!
