Took my sunnies into my local optometrist for repairs…….
I managed to sit on them….I know, I know….
and broke the frame at the nose bridge.
No replacement parts available, not supplied…..thanks Ray Ban….not !
Lovely lady at the counter started quoting me $288.00 for a replacement pair, to which I said,
“yeah, nah…..they can be on a Christmas wish list…
”
Enter her protege, who said that she remembered seeing a similar pair in their 2nd hand box of bits…..(RB2312 New Wayfarer)
5 minutes later, my polarised lenses had been swapped into the frames, arms swapped over and I’m back in business……![Big Grin Big Grin](https://kombiclubaustralia.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Whilst the front frame is not identical to my originals, they’re very close…..
Total cost…?
Zip, nyet, nada, nothing ….![Cool Cool](https://kombiclubaustralia.com/images/smilies/cool.png)
Service still exists out there in retail, just need to be courteous, polite and you never know where it’ll end up .
