This is a positive recommendation for the awesome Rimless Direct (Wales)
(Owned by our very own Steve Elworthy @steve E) D2 Dot Net Site Sponsor and dedicated Heritage owner... 
Like many (?) of us maturing Defender owners, I have to wear spectacles... 
Generally though, for work-a-days I normally wear contact lenses, but find after a day with them in, I cannot wait to remove them and don my lightweight rimless Silhouettes with full varifocal bells & whistles lenses... 
My current specs are at least 8/9 years old. Some time ago the arms were replaced by Boots, from a second pair I had knocking around but do not use any more. Then a couple of months ago one of the replaced arms broke (they were a bit flimsy tbh!) and I fixed them...

(Pic courtesy of Daily Mail article) Anyway, long story short, I was concerned they would not last much longer and had a thought... and an exchange of messages with Steve, earlier in the week, who immediately said pop them in the post and I'll take a look... 
Today, after only sending them off Monday, I received these back... 
Click image to enlarge And the new arms are GREEN to boot, fabulous job, I never expected them returned so quickly and GREEN... 
Ignore the poor state of the glass, that is from previous attempts to sort them out, not all successful... 
But the service from Steve @ Rimless Direct is absolutely first class - quality job, speedy service and reasonable charges!...
All-in, a far better service than I have ever received from any of the High Street retailers...
So, I now know where my next prescription pair of spectacles will be sourced > Rimless Direct (Wales), that's a no-brainer for me... Rog...

Thanks Simon, I think...
5amp I think, although it could be either/or...
Balance was not impeded at all, much, just had to tilt my head slightly, a bit like Jack...
No soldering or other fixing methods necessary outside of the tiny flathead tightening too
My handiwork is nowhere near as competent as Steve's though...
Awesome job in much faster time than anywhere else I have previously used... Rog...

Your eyes have done equally well to maintain the same prescription for 8/9 years. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Unfortunately Varifocals can't be made without accurate measurements being taken first.
Single vision Distance and near spectacles can. Rogers were a replacement frame only. If anyone would like to pop down to Barry in South Wales I can make anything you would like including prescription Oakley and Rayban specs. |

Hi Walfy
You do need to bring the prescription with you. I'll take the measurements and make the Specs. Steve |

Indeed, not too bad Gil, in fact there was actually a slight improvement last time they were checked (I am a bit overdue!)...
But that was before my brush with Cancer last year when, a couple of months before we found out, my eyes went a bit squiffy and I had to stop wearing contacts and have a prism fitted on my specs...
Once I went into remission my eyes righted (related?) and I have now resumed wearing contacts during the working day and, hence, could afford to send my specs to Steve to be fixed...
I now have an appointment to make and have the overdue test...
And, probably, a new prescription for Steve to sort out for me... Rog...
