PORSCHE DESIGN VINTAGE SMALL NOS 5623 CARRERA SUNGLASSES With2 SETS OF LENES SWEET
THESE LENSES, BOTH SETS OF THEM, ARE TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AND I WOULD RATE THESE COLLECTIVELY AS 97 OUT OF 100 (USING AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION HERE). THESE WERE SENT TO ME BY MY FRIEND IN SOUTHHAMPTON, ENGLAND.
HE ONCE OWNED A BOUTIQUE THERE AND CLOSED IT IN 1992 AND JUST SAT ON ALL OF HIS MERCHANDISE, TILL HE THOUGHT OF A WAY TO CAPITALIZE ON HIS MISFORTUNE..... HISTORICALLY, HE DOES NOT DEAL VERY WELL WITH OTHERS AND HAS ASKED ME TO SELL OFF SOME SELECT ITEMS..... HERE YOU HAVE THE SMALLER OF THE EVER-SO-POPULAR AVIATOR STYLE OF FRAMES EVER OFFERED BY " PORSCHE DESIGN " THIS IS THE FRAME (IN A SMALL SIZE) THAT ALL OF HOLLYWOOD GOES GOOGOO OVER! ANYBODY WHO'S ANYBODY HAS OWNED A PAIR (AND MOST LIKELY STILL DO) OF THESE 5623 FRAMES OR THEIR LARGER SIZE THE 5621 FRAME. THESE FRAMES ARE POLISHED SILVER (CHROME) IN COLOR.
BOTH SETS OF LENSES, AS NOTED ABOVE ARE TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK)...... THESE ARE NOT "LIKE" BUT "ARE" TRUE NOS. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THESE FRAMES DICTATED TO ME TO KEEP THESE NOS LENSES WITH THE FRAME AS THEY WORK WELL WITH THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE SET! THE FIRST SET OF LENSES ARE GRADIENT IN DESIGN AND ARE A MEDIUM TINT OF A "BROWNISH" COLOR BY DESIGN.
THE SECOND SET OF LENSES THAT COMES WITH THIS SET-UP ARE A VERY RARE SOLID TINT OF YELLOW. THESE YELLOW LENSES ARE IDEAL FOR DRIVING, HUNTING, TARGET RANGE PRACTICE AND DAILY WEAR IN A MEDIUM TO STRONG SUNLIGHT.AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ALL OF THE LENSES BEING PRESENTED HERE ARE TRUE NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) AND ARE IN SHOWCASE CONDITION. THESE HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE, IN MY POSSESSION FOR ABOUT 12+ YEARS NOW. THESE LENSES CAME FROM MY FRIEND WHO, YEARS AGO SENT ME CLOSE TO 100 PAIRS OF NOS LENSES FOR THE 5621 AND IT'S SMALLER BROTHER THE 5623 FRAMES (THIS IS WHAT IS BEING OFFERED HERE). THESE 5623'S IN THE ONLY SIZE MADE (SMALL) MEASURE OUT AT JUST A TAD UNDER 5 1/2 INCHES (13.8CM) FROM TEMPLE HINGE TO TEMPLE HINGE.
I RECALL BEING TOLD THAT THESE FRAMES MADE IT ON A STORE'S WINDOW MANNEQUIN. FORTUNATELY, THE DIFFERENCE BEING THAT CUSTOMERS COULD PLAY AROUND WITH THE SUNGLASSES ON THE STORES MANNEQUIN SO THESE FRAMES AND LENSES DID RARELY GET PUT THROUGH THE TEST AS THEY WERE OUT OF "REACH" FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. UNLIKE THE STORE'S MANNEQUINS SUNGLASSES WHICH HIS CUSTOMERS HAD ACCESS TO. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY (THE CUSTOMERS) NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO HOW THEY REMOVED THE LENSES FROM THE FRAMES SO WHEN THEY WENT TO PUT THEM BACK ONTO THE FRAMES, THEY, MORE OFTEN THEN NOT, NEGLECTED TO "TWIST" THE LENSES INTO PLACE SO THE TINY "PRONGS" DO NOT DAMAGE THE LENSES THEMSELVES. THESE LENSES ARE DIMPLE FREE!!THE 5623 SMALL FRAMES HERE ARE IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION. THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN BENT, TWISTED OR TWEAKED... THEY SIT FLAT AND ARE STILL VERY TIGHT AT ALL OF THE MULTIPLE MOVING JOINTS AND CLIP THE LENSES IN TIGHTLY AND WITHOUT EFFORT. THE FRAMES STILL HOLD THEIR OWN AND KEEP IN MIND YOU ARE LOOKING AT A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES THAT ARE WELL OVER 30 YEARS OLD!! THE LENSES "TWIST" NICELY INTO THE SET PRONGS.
THE NOSE BRIDGE LIFTS UP AND WITH IT COMES THE TOP PRONGS. THE LENSES SIMPLY SLIDE OUT AND WHEN INSTALLING THE LENSES IT'S WISE TO PINCH THEM AND GIVE THEM A LITTLE "TWIST" TO DROP UNDER THE THREE SET LOWER PRONGS... THIS DOES TAKE SOME PRACTICE, BUT ONCE MASTERED, IT WILL TAKE SECONDS TO SWITCH THESE OUT.....
WITHOUT CAUSING ANY DAMAGE TO THE LENSES THEMSELVES. THIS SET-UP IS THE REAL DEAL, THESE HAVE NOT SEEN LIGHT OF DAY FOR ABOUT 23+ YEARS NOW AND IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FINDING A VERY NICE AND CLEAN PAIR OF ORIGINAL, VINTAGE/ANTIQUE, SMALLER FRAME INTERCHANGEABLE AVIATOR SUNGLASSES NO.5623 FROM CARRERA, DESIGNED BY OUR FRIENDS AT " PORSCHE DESIGN ", WITH THE ORIGINAL CASE, FELT ENCLOSURE AND EXTRA SET OF NOS LENSES AND A NEW "PORSCHE" MICRO FIBER SHEET LOOK NO FURTHER.... SPEAKING OF THE FELT ENCLOSURE, THIS IS DESIGNED TO HOLD AN EXTRA SET OF LENSES. SO HERE YOU CAN CARRY AN ADDITIONAL SET OF LENSES WITH YOU AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
THIS CASE IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR THESE FRAMES/LENSES AS THEY SLIDE IN FROM THE CENTER OPENING. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHAT I SAY AND HOW I CONDUCT MY BUSINESS HERE ON E-BAY.. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK.... HERE THE FEEDBACK IS KEY AS A MEASURE OF ACCURACY AS TO HOW THEY ARE DESCRIBED. AS NOTED ABOVE, I LOCATED ABOUT 20 MORE PAIRS OF " PORSCHE DESIGN " SUNGLASSES IN ALL SORTS OF FRAME STYLES TO INCLUDE SOME 5632'S AND 5621'S AS WELL AS SOME 5622 (FOLDERS MADE FAMOUS BY AL PACHINO IN SCARFACE).
THESE WILL BE LISTED OVER THE NEXT WEEK. SO BE SURE TO CHECK BACK AND WATCH THIS VINTAGE SELECTION GROW!PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY PICTURES AS THEY DO A GOOD JOB SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT PICTURES DO THE LENSES NO JUSTICE AND CAN NOT SHOW YOU ANY FLAWS WHICH DO OR DO NOT EXIST. THIS IS WHY I TAKE THE TIME AND EFFORT TO FULLY DESCRIBE THESE AT THIS TIME AND IN THIS SECTION. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ORIGINAL BOX AND THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN (C/O) NEVER MADE IT TO ME. AGAIN, BOTH THE BOX AND C/O NEVER MADE THE TRIP FROM THE UK.
THE ASKING PRICE ALSO REFLECTS THE MISSING RETAIL BOX AND C/O. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO COME ACROSS A VINTAGE PAIR OF " PORSCHE DESIGN " SUNGLASSES WITH ALL THREE OF THESE NUMBERS MATCHING! AND THE MORE TIME WHICH PASSES, THESE BECOME EVEN HARDER TO LOCATE! THESE SHALL BE SENT FULLY INSURED.SO IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP ALL PARTIES HAPPY AND KEEP EBAYS INVOLVEMENT TO A MINIMUM, I HAVE OPTED TO TRAVEL DOWN THIS ROAD. ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK AWAY. I WOULD NOT LET THESE VERY, VERY RARE, VINTAGE " PORSCHE DESIGN " SUNGLASSES PASS IF IT'S WHAT YOU SEEK AND OR HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING.....
ADD TO THIS THAT ALL OF THE LENSES ARE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AND ALL THE NUMBERS ALIGN AND NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A REAL KEEPER HERE! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I RECEIVED THESE 5623'S FROM MY FRIEND... WITH NO BLACK RETAIL BOX AND MATCHING C/O CARD. HE SIMPLY ATTACHED NOTES TO THE SUNGLASSES AND WISHED ME LUCK!YOU MIGHT HAVE A LIGHT POLISH SWIRL FROM SOME OF HIS EMPLOYEES WHO CLEAN THE LENSES WITH REGULARITY, BUT THESE ARE FEW AND FAR IN-BETWEEN..... AS THEY WERE "POLISHED" WEEKLY WHILE ON THE MANNEQUIN! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME A CHECKING ME OUT!
THERE ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE PRETTY COOL OUT THERE AND NOT PORSCHE RELATED... NOW ONLY THOSE MUSEUM ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED WILL POP-UP. IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME NEW F. A PORSCHE 75 YEAR ITEMS, TYPE IN "75 YEAR" AND YOU GOT IT... ONLY MY ACTIVE AND LISTED PORSCHE 75 YEARS LISTINGS WILL POP-UP....
