Please excuse this old geezer and his new hobby. But I need some help. Above, the first two are the Maui Jim Puakea 670-02 in Neutral Gray with SuperThin Glass. I bought them last year, but I’ve hardly worn them. Just recently, I bought the Persol Jean PO3310S with green lenses, shown in the last two pictures. This is actually my second pair of Persol Jean—that’s how much I love them—I also own a pair in Havana with dark gray lenses. I have to admit that I’m tempted to sell the Maui Jim Puakea. Compared to the Persol, it just seems kind of cheap, plasticky and sloppy to me. What do you think?

I'm new to Persol, and have to admit, I'm really excited. These two above are my newest pairs of sunglasses. After not buying any new sunglasses for years and relying on my 10 to 12-year-old Ray-Bans, along with a few pairs from Couch, Oakley, and Bollé, I bought a pair of Maui Jim Puakea last year. That was already somewhat of an upgrade, but it wasn’t until this season that I picked up two additional models from Persol. And wow, I have to say, that’s a real step up! They feel great and like real high-quality. I like the 649s, which I bought with gradient lenses (PO0649 24/86 54-20) for overcast or changing weather. But I'm especially fond of the Persol Jean (PO3310S 24/B1 54-18). Strangely enough, there's very little information about them, both on Reddit and elsewhere. Why is that? Are the Jeans a newer Persol model? Because, as I said I think they're amazing. I like them so much that I ordered another one in black with green polarized lenses (PO3310S 95/31 54-18).
