Here's the link to the auction from ebay where I got them from and the user I bought them from is a 100% trusted ebay user and has been for the past 7 years, and all info there is correct, though the sunglasses in the picture have the shiny chrome diamonds on each side and the same for the rayban logos on each arm, though on the ones I recieved it's not a shiny chrome it's a dark chrome for the diamonds and rayban logos, but I'm pretty sure there real they even have the B&L tiny logo engraved in the actual lense.

Here are some pics of the ray ban's I recieved:

Thanks guys, I just really wanna make sure these are real as I have never seen Wayfarer's with the chrome diamonds/logo with no shine whatsoever.

This reply is from OpticsPlanet Eyewear Group Product Specialist, Pam, who is our Ray-Ban maestro ...

Thank you for your question. Yes, I believe that they are real.

I can tell from looking at them and the case they are older. In the pictures when you see around the glass and frame meet the amount of dirt. I have had several pair in the past and they do last. If they fit loose on your head you can take them to your local optical store and see if they can adjust them for you. That model if you put on the top of your head will loosen up and cause them to slip down your face.

Although I do not know what you paid, a new pair with warranty delivered to your door is $139.00 or less. See Ray-Ban Wayfarer.

The next time you are looking, please give us a try. I will be happy to help you out.

I really appreciate your reply.
Therefore I am glad that they are real and I will not be taking them back and they also fit perfectly, and I paid $130 for them including Postage + Handling.
So the model I got is just an older one? because I have never seen this version around.

You paid $130 for an old pair of sunglasses? You could have done a lot better. I'd return them if I were you.

I paid $130 AUS which included postage and handling which is about $100US. Plus they are not 2nd hand they are just a older model, they have never been worn before. They were in the back of an optical shop in the UK which was closing down.

We ship our Raybans internationally. See our International Orders page for more information.

If you like the retro look of the Wayfarer, see the latest styles of the 2132 Outsider Wayfarer from Ray-Ban.

Good sunglasses for getting noticed at the beach in Australia are from Spy Optic.
