Bond's Shades? (Casino Royale)

I was wondering if anyone had the name of the shades that Bond wears when he get off the plane in Nassua? Or if anyone had a picture of them. Not neccesarily looking for the actually pair because I'm sure they are somewhat expensive (I work for a living).
Just a picture would be nice, hoping to find a budget look alike somewhere. I need a decent pair of shades for my drive back to Az and was *ahem* compeled to look for these.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated, hope this hasn't been discussed before.

The shades I am talking about are the ones he has on the very second he steps off the plane in Nassua. No other scene. Those shades are the ones I am talking about. They are lightly brown shaded (the lenses) and the legs aren't very thick (thin metalic look?). Also the lenses had no edge to them, ie the frame did not extend doen to the bottom of the lenses just the sides and top. None of the shades on either of the sites looked like those.
Does anyone know which ones I am talking about? He only wears them in that paticular scene.
Also, the frames do extend to the bottom of the lens, I'm looking at a photo right now.
Ok I'll take your word for it. I'll have to look into them more detailed. They certianly don't look like them, but if the website has the wrong then that would be why I'm confused.
I've looked for pictures and can't find any. Would like to get a "budget" look alike if possible.
P.S. I wish I had some actual photos for comparision, but I haven't taken any. If I can take some good ones, I'll post them for everyone.
I thought you owened a pair, what tsyle number do you have? I cant imagine why Persol would get it wrong in teh press release but stranger things have happened.
But are they?... There's major-league confusion over this. Are the ones you modelled not brown?
From my limited reserach, he wears the steel framed model in (Nassau?) 2244-S. It's now looking like the lenses are in fact the brown ones but I bought the grey/green (as I wouldn't wear brown anyway)... It'd be interesting to find out the definitive answer but I think the screen capture here is pretty conclusive...

There are numerous people selling grey/green as canon though (they may be right). I can see why people are getting confused.
The second pair he wears (in the movie) is the tortoiseshell with green lenses 2720

There's a Limited edition of these too so I'm not sure what's accurate there.

So there you have it. B-)
I got a pair of the tortoise shell ones, size small, but my head must be TOO small, they keep slowly falling off!
The arms are indeed brown, I got the same pair recently. I watched the film closely and you can tell the arms are brown. Particularly when he's driving the Mondeo, and his subsequent arrival at the Ocean Club. Funny how I missed this FOUR times in the theatre and thought they were the grey/green lensed ones! The DVD will help clear this up!
I think they may have gotten mixed up with their shades. I'm certain they've got the correct model number, but they're brown frames and lenses.
EDIT: I also noticed they're described as just Satin Gun Metal on some sites.
