Tom Ford James Bond TF 108 19v

Hey, I'm new, but I came across this forum recently. I'm actually looking to find these pair of glasses, though I know they have been discontinued.

My story is that I saw these over a year ago, and I really wanted them back then. I found deals like 190 US dollars, but I have never bought glasses that expensive before, so I wanted to wait until the price would go down. About a week ago, I checked again and to my surprise, it was discontinued! I couldn't believe it, and I never expected it to happen. So I spent the next few hours searching and searching, but they were out of stock everywhere! I found one or two, but they are extremely expensive. I really, really do not and almost cannot pay over 400 dollars.... (I feel so bad for not buying them before). Is there anyone willing to sell a new pair of these for a good and fair price for a Bond fan? Or does anyone know anywhere at all that I might be able to find these. Any replies would be very much appreciated!

    Hello, Guts. Welcome to the forum!

    If you don't have any luck finding the Tom Ford 108's here, you could always try eBay, or this forum: http://www.styleforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=11

    Also, there is an excellent budget alternative to the Tom Fords that looks almost identical, & costs less than $15: http://www.sunglasswarehouse.com/james-bond-sunglasses.html

    I've tried eBay, and that's where I saw some of the outrageous prices.. Thanks for the link to the forum though.

    I don't want to sound like a snob, but I dislike imitation things. I usually wouldn't buy sunglasses like this, I never wear any, but these are the one I want and I want to go authentic. :)

    Buy them on ebay. They are worth every penny. B-)

    I did go on eBay, and the lowest one is over $600.

    They've been on Beyond the Rack within the last couple of months. They'll probably get them again. You should sign up so you get email alerts from them.

    I went there earlier, but seeing how these are discontinued already my hopes are low on people getting them again. :( I will sign up for email alerts from them though.

    Buy a pair wherever/whenever you see them if you really want them. They have indeed been discontinued, and those effects are now definitely being felt. Tom Ford announced in the Spring that they were being discontinued, but they were still available in most stores and online... until very recently. I've seen fewer and fewer on eBay, and now all websites I've checked are sold out too. The frame on my pair broke a few weeks ago, and I sent them back to Marcolin for exchange. They informed me that all available stock of 19V is officially gone, even from Italy. I got the very last pair that was in their inventory.

    As Kittlemeier said, Beyond the Rack has had them in stock numerous times, and at $199, you can't beat that price. Keep your eye there. Good luck in your search!

    Kind regards,
    Craig
