Ray Ban Sunglasses RB 3183 Top Bar 014/73 Brown/B-15XLT, 63mm

I purchased these glasses from sunglass express & I received a Made in China RB3183, I contacted Rayban Customer support & they informed that this specific model is only make in Italy, but Sunglasses express said its also Made in China, Having not able to confirm the authenticity of the product I decided to return the item. suffered a loss of 15% restocking fees also.
Will not advise to purchase from ths buyer unless you just want glasses & does not bother about the quality of the product.
Amazon should take action against these sellers.

I first learned of the 3183's after trying on a pair at Big 5 Sporting Goods. However, my Big 5 store only carried the silver/gradient polarized pair (004/82) and Ray Bans never go on sale there. I knew I wanted polarized, but personally find the gradient lens a little annoying. So I turned to Amazon in search of a non-gradient polarized 3183.
Pros: quality vision lens, thick lens, light weight (frameless side/bottom) and easy on my nose, down/around ears instead of straight back so no falling off or pinching my head and giving me headaches, curved design so sunlight doesn't enter sides, spring loaded bars so no accidental bending, made in...Read more
