Just ordered another DW watch, this time a little more expensive than the previous one that was posted. This one seems to have the correct strap, I've also ordered a male/female. Will post pictures once they arrive.

I've bought those exact wayfarers a year ago. I use them for when I'm walking around town and don't want to carry my gens as I always managed to drop them - they are perfect for this. My brother tells me they look like cheap 3d glasses but they are alright, even has the small RB engraved on the lens. I would def like to pay a little more and get ones with glass lenses though I can't seem to find a link.

Hi mate, i've paid only 7 euro for this wayfarer... it's a good product, but lens are plastic, not glass like the original...

they do not have UV400 protection.

I have just bought a couple of wayfarer top quality with glass polarized lenses and real UV400 protection. Soon I should receive them ...

I've bought really great ones, posted the link and a few crappy pics earlier, I can post a short review with good pics a bit later.

Im assuming that most glass lens based ones should be the same so that would be great, even just a few close up pics would be more than appreciated.

Here's another copyright infringement from Aliexpress (cookie cutter shaped like the Apple logo) :D Could not resist. Tudor BB V2 for size comparison.
Solid packaging with bubble wrap. But it took 30 days to deliver, though.

I had a couple England kits delivered during the last world cup. Was more than happy with the quality. Even if they only last a few years its great.

Here are some pics of my Wayfarer. Ordered matte black ones, and had worn them for a few days now. These are nicely done, look and feel solid.

Thanks alot!
Waiting for your update :)

Alright mate! Here it is..

Got the lenses out. First note the thickness:

Gen clearly on left.

The lenses are playable in the rep and not in the gen.

Boom gens fit though!

However the reps are a hell of a lot thinner then I expected, but are polarized pretty good. I just have to find a way at work to test the UV, but I couldn't imagine these are not uv400, as a lot of cheaper sunglasses are. Hope this helps mate!

Here's the lens track in the frame. Gens first, rep second.

Just wondering how you get the lenses out of a solid frame?

I just pushed the lens at the top towards the nose piece outwards gently. Like so. Just be careful!

First of all , thanks alot for helping the community!
You are very informative.

Can you give me the link of where you bought the reps?
Ill buy them , trash the lenses and order a replacement of high quality.
Ill just keep the frame.

I like explaining thing a so everyone can understand them hopefully. It's the best way to know what you're getting. And awesome! Let me know how that works out!

I might just start swapping lens between them :)

I got d&g rayban Armani and one other one. I plan on popping out the lenses and putting in my prescription lens in there. The raybans are going to get a prescription sunglasses lens.
