This is nuts - today I visited one of my local sunglasses shops in Cracow in search for the TF Marko's. They had no TF sunglasses in stock, but they had a few Persols - like 5 literally, and guess what - I looked at the stand with the Ray Bans Wayfarers and all the other generic stuff - among them I recognized a pair I already own. I looked at the temple - said 2720s, size 57. "Interesting" - I said to myself, since these were discontinued for like 2 years now and I have not seen them anywhere in a shop for about 3 years. The biggest jaw dropper was the prize however - around 100 in US dollars. Brand new, with the original cloth and case (at least that's what the shop manager said). These are the exact model but with brown lenses instead of green. I asked the manager why are these so crazy cheap, because I bought my pair for around 300$ - she only said that they have a good deal with Persol and the other thing is that this is the last pair in stock.
So if anyone is still looking for a 2720s in size 57 (the smaller one) I can get them for you - 100$ + shipping, probably around 15$ priority mail or something like that.

Regarding the temples, do any of the members here with the 2720s (or any other sunglasses with 130mm temples) find slippage a problem?
I'm not sure though if this is because I got the smaller size. It's strange because they look good head on as it were, but on the arms there is a noticeable outward bend when I wear them. I've not seen this in other sunglasses I have such as Oliver Peoples, Rayban or Tom Ford, but there does seem to be a section on the arms that allows for some flexibility. I'm sure if I went for the larger size they would look too big for my face.
I must say though, of all the sunglasses I own, these don't see much sun!
Those of you who also have fielmann boutiques in your city - check them out, turns out their regular Persol prices are around 100-150$ - also because there is no original cloth and case.
Guess what? They also have Persols 2720s for 100$, however not one but TWO pairs! One is screen accurate (green lenses, tortoise shell) the other one has brown lenses and is polarised.
Like I said - both are for 100$ (without the original cloth and case) but it's still a steal in my opinion, especially for the screen accurate one!
I'm not sure about the sizing however, both looked like 57 in size (not the bigger 63) so if anyone would be interested I would have to check that out.
Cheers!
Edited to not be dyslexic with numbers.
If I got right what you were asking for, then from the middle of the bridge to the end of the front/beginning of the arm is 7cm dead (in straight line). However I don't know how is this info useful?
