Why so many stupid questions in this thread from people who couldn’t be bothered opening the link?

Basically identical sunnies just without the ray ban logo for less than a quarter of the price. From a brick and mortar store too (can get extra 20% off with newsletter sign up too)
i've seen those in store before…crappy hinges and plastic lenses. they also squeak when you grab the arms and twist it gently. that's my unscientific method of testing build quality ;)
same issues above with similar cheapo copies from h&m (i think they were $12 iirc)
Those are probably the same as these for US$2.35: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33024701315.html
(delivery took less than 2 weeks when I ordered earlier this month)
For those looking for polarised, some of them are also half price.
Downvoting because this 'deal' is posted by Luxottica, who are a disgusting corporation.
As opposed to Apple, who pay all their taxes…
Who said anything about taxes?
This is about a company that has practically monopolised an entire industry in order to control the price of sunglasses.
Since you've used them as an example, the equivalent for Apple here would be that they went out and bought Dell, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and the rest of their competition, then made the standard price of a laptop $10,000-$15,000 across all of those brands.
Then, when someone else started making laptops at a normal $1,000-$3,000 price range again, either cripple their ability to manufacture to quality at scale, or buy them out too.
Do a bit of research as to how Luxottica came to own Oakley, for instance, if you want to know a little about their standard business practices.
EDIT - forgot to mention in the Apple example - they'd then post a deal for a base model MacBook Air at $8,000 as a bargain to OzBargain.

Hmmm… sounds familiar
Some people don't know they control the entire market.
Diamonds are forever
How is this better than $25 a pair polarized sunglasses from Chemist warehouse, or those $8 a pair sunglasses from Kmart?
You don’t look like a dork
Bought fake polarized rayban aviator overseas for $40. Nobody could tell the difference from original.
I have two raybans and both are very very different, I suspect quality has taken a nosedive.
My wayfarers (classic) with glass lenses are awesome, solid, well made, and have lasted nearly 7 years without a mark.
My 6-month old "Justins" are the polar opposite, the plastic used in the lenses are is so soft and marks when there is wind with any form of grit. The frames were slightly crooked from factory, one arm has got floppy and you cannot tighten it unlike the wayfarers. Sunglass hut didn't want to know.
I think the "hate" is because Luxottica's product quality appears to have gone downhill fast.
i don't know if it's so much quality, but different product lines that use different materials.
i've got justins too which were great for cycling with its larger lenses. but that rubber grip does peel and show wear a lot quicker than the glossy acetate of the wayfarers. also wayfarers and justins have different hinges (7 "teeth" on 2140 wayfarer vs 3 on the justins and 2132 wayfarer), which probably explains the loose arm issue you're having.
I wonder if they are using the soft "CR39" plastic rather than the harder polycarb plastics? I just had to get reading glasses :-( They do make great (commuter) cycling shades though.
I love the style of the justins, but they do seem to be wildly overpriced for what they are (compared to the Wayfarers) my rubberised coating hasn't degraded, yet.
i'm not sure of the plastic used as rb don't really give out a lot of info about that and like crapping on about chromance, whereas oakley seem to mention lens tech more due to the whole extreme sport thing they're associated with.
but i need rx lenses for myopia, so i bought some cheap $94 justins from catch and got the lenses done at opsm. i reckon the peeling started off around the lens area from lenses being removed and refitted by the lab tech.
@tdw: Thanks for the tips on getting the frame etc. Will keep that in mind to widen my choices. Makes sense as the edges would likely marr it.
For me, an earlyish onset of presbyopia, I was always longsighted but had enough arm and big screen phones.
no love for polarised
Are these rayban RB4260D any good? Tried looking in store to see them in person but couldn’t find
it's the "low bridge fit" model i.e. for people with "flat noses." most retailers don't stock those versions since there's apparently less demand
Get the same quality out of $15 a pair aliexpress brands honestly.
Cartel practices of Luxottica and how they operate makes me give this deal a thumbs down
