Oakley concrete prescription frame


Like the plank I wrote about many months ago, the concrete is made of lightweight aluminium ..... From my left vs right hand weighing scale, it is nowhere heavier than a pair of titanium frame.....

Compared the other metals, aluminium is far more pliable & compliant so you can bend & shape the frame to your needs.... If you have a odd-shaped face it can be crucial for your comfort.....

In terms of cost, it is also cheaper than other Oakley titanium frames..... Something to take note if you prefer to track every dollar you spend......

Most importantly it is made smaller than the plank.... And those that go for a more compact look will like it.....

It is my fav Oakley prescription frame right now.......!!

oakley plank....

in a moment of carelessness last night i dropped my spectacles on the wooden floor.... OUCH..!! and being the usual particular sort, i kept thinking that the frame had become misaligned.....

UURGGHHH i cant wait for today to arrive so that i can get the optician to do it for me..... so after a hard day's work, i sprinted out of the office to drive over to the optician......

and on my way there i was thinking if i should have another pair as a backup...... one option is to get a el cheapo pair for use at home...... or maybe should i buy another pair of oakley.... hmmm but that will cost me another few hundreds of dollars....

anyway the salesguy was very friendly........ and i went through a selection of oakley and tag heuer frames.......

of the many i've tried, the new oakley plank in aluminium suits me best haha....... cast in matt black, the retro-themed frame is very strong and stout to withstand the rigours of everyday wear......


hmmmm in the end, i decided to take a break from spending...........

next time ok??
