I could watch your videos all day. You explain things so simplistically and thoroughly at the same time. That Ruby sapphire tint is pure elegance and timeless 😍

I just bought the Cartier Picadilly frame in gold. And for some reason I love how the original lense gives a vintage reading glasses look. That simple plain look may be my go-to depending how they look on me ofcourse. Right now I’m wearing a vintage Must Louis Cartier frame and they definitely scream 80’s big frame. I appreciate your detailed videos that really helped me decide on a newer Cartier frame. 10/10!

You’re so passionate about the product it’s amazing!!

The ruby sapphire is beautiful, I personally want custom lenses and shape ever since watching your video. It has truly opened Pandora's box, from tints to shapes to sizes. I personally don't care for the Cartier name on the lense, but I can see why someone would want it, screams💰💲💲💲
Keep up the great work Robert! 😎

Love your videos! I also loved how you "settled the score" on the brand being on the lens. That was super helpful as I have always wondered about it. Thanks man!

I have a pair of the big C with a platinum frame and a dark purple tint prescription they are 🔥

Hi Robert, I really enjoy your video lectures. I noted you said that older Cartier ‘Big C’ is unique in having a pointed nose bridge. I understand that Savile Row also offer a pointed bridge on some of their models.

Favorite brand. I own the Panthere . My friend has owned the C with wood frame for decades. I plan own picking up the C for my wife

[DuncanKay]

I wish the c was popping out of the back (inside) the lenses than the front and was a little more miniature than boldly out pronounced. Anyway that's me being very minimal and simple.
Your zeiss customization is the elegant.
Great content.
Robert, you're the best!

I have a c decor for daily use and I prefer them a little bit bigger then standard but the same form

[BoogieNotLucky]

Big C’s are my absolute favorite glasses could be worn everyday casually also goes well streetwear wise. I also love the old version of them but the new aren’t bad at all.

[didamnesia]

The horseshoe, I mean C, looks fine... either way they're a high quality frame made better by the addition of custom lenses.
I'm still thinking of getting the ruby/sunset with sapphire flash. So many to choose from

From the moment I discovered your channel (maybe been a week) until today, I've found more EXACT answers I've been looking for, than I could through intensive Google searches. Thank you! I was sold from the first video I watched (where you ranked glasses from Luxottica to Legendary), and now I'm even more sold.

I like to buy glasses in person (because I like to see how it fits and looks), but I might just be swayed to have it done remotely. If I do that, how do I ensure I know how it'll end up looking and fitting? I assume you must have some useful tools to help with that.

Those are cool glasses!! 👓🕶
I don't really care for rimless glasses that much, but they work well on some people.

[robertjohn]

I prefer the old ‘Big C’, but customising either style is definitely the way to go ✅Zeiss lenses are the best 👍

[scofieldp]

Love the classic frame and look to the newer model. It looks more original..

[youtubecritic]

Show how to authenticate them or how to spot a fake.

[marwanalshehhi]

Great Video !!! As en expert, what tint color (full or gradient) you think will fit the platinum frame ?

[vinniebux]
