5.0 out of 5 stars
Please note the differences between the 50/22 and 54/18, November 13, 2009
As one of the other reviewers stated, Paris Miki Optical is one of those companies where you would refer everyone you knew, that happened to be in the market for any sort of eye wear that they stock. The prices are fair, but more importantly the customer service is beyond measure (especially Brian).
The first pair I ordered turned out to be larger than initially expected (by no fault of the seller), and thus after contacting Brian at Paris Miki Optical; he made sure he took care of me. The customer service was beyond exceptional. I rarely give glowing reviews, but this purchasing experience was so well executed, that I can't help but give 5 emphatic stars. Will do business with again, and would recommend them to the readers as well.
If the bridge width of the 50/22 is a little wide for you, and you're considering the 54/18 due to concerns of the bridge width, there is something that you should know. Not only are the frames wider (54mm per lens) but the bottom of the frame that sits near your cheeks are also a lot more rounded than the 50/22, giving the overall silhouette a more softer feel and perhaps even a bit more jovial demeanor. After trying on the 54/18, and noting that the difference in the comfort on the bridge area was negligible, I opted to exchange mine for the 50/22. Since we all know that the point of original classic Wayfayers are about only three things: Classic style, no nonsense hardcore design lines (JFK, James Dean, etc), and being blind (Ray Charles).
Also a word of advice, if you receive your sunglasses, and the edges of the lenses seem like they are peeling off the polarization coating, try and clean them vigorously with proper cloth and lens safe solution, and you'll realize it's just dust and slighty sticky goo. I was actually quite concerned when I received my replacement because of this. But after some elbow grease it was as good as new. I'm assuming it was just in storage for a while. Either way, these sunglasses are great, I picked up the 901/58 50/22 when all was said and done, and absolutely love them. Glad I got them just in time for my trip. If you're considering some classically designed sunglasses that are also good quality, look no further than the RB 2140, and may their appeal flow like the Euphrates!

Specific to SUNGLASSTOP.., June 21, 2011
This review is from: Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Sunglasses (Apparel)
Very disappointed with this expensive, non-authentic item purchase. I've purchased Ray Ban Wayfarers from Amazon in the past, receiving authentic sunglasses - UNTIL THIS TIME! Ordered RB2140, 54mm from Amazon, fulfilled by Sunglasstop, and received these in a non-authentic case, box, paperwork, cloth, non-authentic etching style for the RB glass insignia, and the signature logo unevenly raised on one of the temple arms (sure give-away of a fake item). Thankfully, Amazon was great to work with in returning this item.

Very Satisfied 2140s were Perfect, October 17, 2010
This review is from: Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Sunglasses (Apparel)
I ordered these through CLE Contact Lenses because I was worried about getting wrong size or color. I had contacted SunglacesExpress about their 15% return fee on all returns but they never answered my email through Amazon (beware of this policy of the 15% return), however CLE was great they answered that there was no return fee if they sent me the wrong item and they would be sure that I got what I ordered, and I did.
These sunglasses are great and are not conterfeit (everything is correct even the etching inside the lens).
I was very satisfied with the price $99 and the product.
