I had to replace my most recent broken Ray-Ban sunglasses after having them 8 years with no problems. This was my third pair since college (i dont wear any brand but Ray-Ban). I know what quality to expect from Ray-Ban. This version was the closest match to the lens shape and size for the pair that I loved/broke. I should have returned them right away. The temple (arm) plastic has unfinished endes on the top and bottom that you could feel (not smooth like other Ray-Bans). I got used to this after a while (but still not pleased) and then over the past 3 months another problem developed. When the temples are collapased down, the tip of one rests on the lens. After a few months, this has caused the coating on the inside of the lens to rub off. It's past my Amazon return and Ray-Ban will only replace the temples or lens, or if I like, they will give me 50% of the value off another pair of glasses. I guess I got to pay $70 for finding their design flaw for them. Or maybe there's a reason why this model isn't made any longer. WTF.
