Persol Steve McQueen Dark Havana

HarveyMushman

Not strictly Bond related I know, but I noticed some others have posted these sunglasses for sale on here before so assume it's okay?

I bought these a while ago however they are the 54mm and I never felt like they fitted me properly so they've been in the draw (along with 3 other Persol variations) I ended up buying the 52mm version which is much better for me.

Exact model number is: 714-SM 24/56

So these are up for sale pretty much mint condition with the special edition case, cards, box, etc...photos to follow as soon as possible.

I'm located in Australia so would prefer to ship here but could entertain overseas shipping if postage (and insurance) is acceptable to you, I would much prefer cash on collection though so you can see the glasses yourself in person.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

I'm asking $550 AUD

Surely that code puts them at size 56?

HarveyMushman

Hi Chris

Thanks for the question. Just to clarify that, my understanding is 24/56 is the frame / lens colour codes (dark tortoise shell frame with blue lens).

The frame size itself is designated by another number on the arm which is 54-21-140 that being the lens width-nose bridge-arm length.

Hope that helps?

Cheers

Also Persol only made these limited edition glasses in 52mm or 54mm lens widths B-) -{

Chriscoop

Ah right, that is the colour codes, my mistake.

HarveyMushman

just a little nudge in case anyone misses these for sale. If not interest i'll put them up on eBay. Can upload pictures if anyone is interested.

Hi Gymkata, absolutely leave it with me I’m away for the weekend so will have them for you Monday morning Aus time (Sunday night for you)

I have those exact same glasses. Love them. Good luck with your sale! -{

HarveyMushman

Thanks they are amazing, just too big for me and I ended up getting the 52mm instead which fit much better B-)

Open to offers. Many thanks

I have 52mm Terra Di Sienna's that look just right on my face and didn't require any adjustments to get a better fit.
Be wary that the screws that attach the temples to the frame can come loose but with a screwdriver, you can have them back to shape in no time.
If they fit, Gymkata, you won't regret it.

Hi Gymkata

Just as a point of reference, from experience not all 54mm are equal as the shape on one 54mm style could feel bigger/small compared to another 54mm style.

I would recommend trying on some Persol's in 54mm that have more of this "aviator" style lens shape, you should still find some standard 714 shape glasses in the shops hopefully but I don't think you'd find the 714-SM's as these are limited editions.

Otherwise looking on Persol.com I think the 649's are pretty similar

Good luck, let me know how you go or if you need any other info.

I suspect other AJB members will not jump in on your interest here, happy to wait in any case and it if doesn't work out that's no problem.

Sold, please close. Thanks all.
