What kind of sunglasses do you wear with your Rolex?

I wear Maui Jim Typhoons. I used to wear Revo's H2O's. I am looking for another type of sunglass similiar to the Typhoons. I want a good lens, light weight, good for the beach.

I wish - It's a building by my work place - I jumped out and took a picture before the security guy came out - Turns out he said "You want me to take a picture for you" - LOL.

PS - The picture below was a year ago when - I've since lost 39lbs

One pair of prescription Oliver Peoples, One pair of prescription Kenneth Coles. If my eyes were not so bad, I would get Serengeti's but they are wraps and I can't get a prescription in them.

I swear by Oakley Juliets "Ducati" (limited edition) I have two pairs I have taken these glasses all over the world into sand, water, heat, snow, you name it. These are the best sunglasses, you can't break the frame and it's hard to scratch the lenses, if you do no problem $40.00 gets you new lenses.

My Peeples are horn rim traditional frames, with prescription lenses. They look like the sunglasses James Dean used to wear....Very trad yet still edgy and nice looking with a suit and tie. My weakness is cordovan shoes.

I just go Honda with cars. Seemless value with never a mechanical worry. But I do like shell cordovan shoes, Rollies, good accessories and good pens. I save lots of money not going for the "German Road Car" of my younger years. I have spent a small fortune on cars, and the worst investment there is.

Me - Maui Jim for my daily wear and Costa Del Mar for fishing.

Spouse - Ray Ban for daily wear and Costa Del Mar for fishing.

We love the blue lenses that Costa Del Mar offers. Great for on the water. They also match the YM with blue dial or the Blue Subby. Hey - maybe I should get one!!!
