    They look good to me and I've had 3 pairs of them!!

    The Brown case is what they are supposed to come in, they never came in black!!

    Thanks for the help :-)

    I have seen one pair at a opticians with black case, box etc. Could this be because I am located in Europe? Maybe they make different versions?

    Also, all the pictures on Google show them with a black case. Not doubting your knowledge, I am just stumped by this.

    The Bond special edition never came in a black box. I've done a google and can only see the brown case. It may be the lighting because they show up as dark brown

    It does not change anything for being in Europe, I have had 2 models of sunglasses Quantum of Solace, TF 108-19V, another Solor is another model, and the cover of sunglasses are brown

    I googled and found this James-Bond-Tom-Ford.jpg. It looks very dark brown compared to the ones in my original post. Is this normal?

    Sorry for the many questions, its just a lot of money and I want to be sure they are not fake.
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,321MI6 Agent
    The pics show a lighter brown because the seller has taken pics with the camera flash on!!

    Seriously I have bought mine from Germany and US, they only come in brown cases. If you have seen a black case then the seller is not selling the original box the glasses come in!!

    The color is crystal blue, and the box and case and cleaning cloth are brown in color will be another imitation.
    Glasses are very expensive to buy an imitation or replica, is not it?

    What do you mean? Are the glasses in my first post a imitation or?
    Sorry, English is not my first language.

    Welshboy--> I did not mean to question your original post. I just found this all confusing :-)

    The sunglasses on your orinial post seem to have brown lenses. That's not correct as the QoS sunglasses had the blue colour (Version 19V).

    The brown coloured ones have a significant lower value because of this.

    The lens do look Brown indeed as Bondtoys states however the pics are not that great as the seller seems to have taken the photos in the dark!! The model number is written on the arm TF108 19V - make sure they (lens) are blue and 19V model (seller could have swapped lens so make sure they are blue)

    I think it is really bad photo lighting, but the arms in the first photo behind the lens and the third photo in your original post looks like there is blue in the lens.

    I'd say, that the blue glance that you see is the Anti-reflex coating of the lens.

    If I would be interested in the pair, the first thing, I'd make sure with the seller is if the lenses are brown or blue ;)

    Hi guys.

    I passed on them. Something about the seller seemed fishy :S. Got a streak of luck though, found two pairs sitting in a opticians. Brand new and unsold. Apparently RayBan is the only thing that matters around these necks of the wood :)

    Thanks for the help!

    Cool. Make sure they are not the new but very similar William model and indeed have Janes Bond written on the inner arm!!

    I am just purchasing a pair off a nice gentleman from eBay. They look 100% legitimate but he can't find the 007 markings in the inside of the arm. Were they on all the models or is this a counterfeit product?

    Any luck with this? I have requested for them to be taken to Tom Ford to be authenticated. Otherwise I'll be requesting a refund.
