Description: HERE I AM OFFERING UP A BEAUTIFUL, VINTAGE, VERY ... VERY RARE, NOS (UN~USED) PAIR OF "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA NON-AVIATOR SUNGLASSES MODEL 5652 IN A SIZE SMALL. THIS MODEL WAS ONE OF THE LAST MODELS THAT THEY INTRODUCED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CARRERA. THESE FRAMES ARE MADE IN GERMANY AND ARE LIQUID METAL (DIE CAST) FOR A STRONGER, LIGHTER & SMOOTHER FINISH. NOSWNMC/O&B = NEW OLD STOCK WITH NUMBERS MATCHING CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN & BOX. THESE MEASURE ABOUT 5 1/4 INCHES (13.5CM) ACROSS FROM TEMPLE HINGE TO TEMPLE HINGE AND AS I JUST NOTED, ONE OF THE LAST PAIR OF SUNGLASSES OFFERED FROM FROM "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA. THESE SUNGLASSES HAVE NOT SEEN THE LIGHT IN OVER 22+ YEARS! THESE ARE IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND ARE BEING OFFERED AS SUCH. THE LENSES ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE IN EXCELLENT SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION. THE BUILT IN, FLUSH NOSE BRIDGE IS IN PERFECT SHAPE/CONDITION! AS ARE THE PLASTIC DARK BROWN TEMPLE FEET. THE FRAMES ARE THE ONLY DIE CAST FRAMES THAT I AM AWARE OF OFFERED BY CARRERA AND MADE UNDER THE STRICT GUIDELINES OF THE "PORSCHE DESIGN" TEAM. ALTHOUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CARRERA AND "PORSCHE DESIGN" HAS LASTED IN EXCESS OF 3 DECADES, IT, AS ALL GOOD THINGS, WAS SOON COMING TO AN END. PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FEATURE. I HAVE ONLY ONE OF THESE LEFT IN THIS POLISHED GOLD DIE CAST FRAME. WHAT MAKES THIS SET SO SPECIAL IS THAT "PORSCHE DESIGN" CREATED A SERIES OF WAYS TO VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF THEIR SUNGLASSES. THIS WAS DONE BY HAND STAMPING A SERIES OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS INTO THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT TEMPLE ARM. THEN THEY CREATED A "CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN" WHICH HOLDS THE EXACT SEQUENCE OF THESE UNIQUE LETTERS AND NUMBERS. IN ADDITION, THEY ALSO PLACED THESE NUMBERS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR RETAIL BOX, TO FURTHER VALIDATE THAT WHAT YOU HAVE IS "REAL, AUTHENTIC AND A VINTAGE PORSCHE DESIGN SUNGLASSES"! VINTAGE BECAUSE THEY STOPPED DOING THIS BACK IN THE EARLY 2000'S!! THESE SUNGLASSES BEING OFFERED HERE HAVE ALL THREE (3) OF THESE UNIQUE LETTERS/NUMBERS MATCHING PIECES!! THE ORIGINAL "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA LENSES ARE ALSO NOS (IMAGINE THAT ..LOL) THESE ARE A MEDIUM TO LIGHT GRADIENT STYLE LENSES WITH A GRAYISH/ROSEISH TINT TO THEM.. THESE, ONCE AGAIN ARE IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND I WOULD RATE THESE A 99 OUT OF 100 (USING AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION HERE)! I CAN SEE NO IMPERFECTIONS AT ALL...ANYWHERE!! THESE COME IN THEIR ORIGINAL "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA CASE WHICH IS A MIXTURE OF HARD PLASTIC AND SOFT LEATHER, A VERY CLEVER COOL CASE AT THAT! THESE CAME FROM A FRIEND OF MINE WHO OWNED/CLOSED A SMALL BOUTIQUE IN SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND......MANY YEARS AGO. HE RECENTLY SENT ME A CARE PACKAGE FULL OF A LOT OF "PORSCHE DESIGN" SUNGLASSES, SOME NEW, SOME USED, SOME WITH MATCHING CARD, SOME WITHOUT, SOME SUNGLASSES AND SOME NOT! MOST ARE IN OUTSTANDING SHAPE/CONDITION. 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... I AM A PERFECT 5.0'S ACROSS THE BOARD ..... NOT TOO SHABBY FOR A GUY WHO 1 OUT OF 8 SALES GOES OVERSEAS! AND AS OF LATELY I HAVE BEEN SELLING A LOT OF THESE SUNGLASSES AND HERE, FEEDBACK IS THE KEY!!! WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MIS~REPRESENT THESE LENSES...OUCH!!!! I FOR ONE .... DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE ... I WORKED WAY TOO HARD TO LET SOMETHING AS OBVIOUS AS A SCRATCH MESS ME UP! ALRIGHT ... ENOUGH ABOUT ME..... SO BASICALLY, HERE YOU HAVE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF A VINTAGE, NOS, "PORSCHE DESIGN" SUNGLASSES FRAME STYLE 5652 IN A VERY RARE SIZE SMALL (AND AGAIN STORED FOR THE PAST 22+ YEARS OR SO) WITH A SHARP HIGHLY POLISHED GOLD FRAME. ADD TO THIS THAT YOU HAVE ALL THREE (3) CORRECT LETTERS/NUMBERS MATCHING PIECES AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF ONE OF THE NICEST PAIR OF SUNGLASSES ON THE MARKETPLACE TODAY!! ....IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT OBTAINING A TRULY RARE AND UNIQUE PAIR OF SUNGLASSES OF THIS CALIBER (TRULY NOS & VINTAGE) AND IN THIS CONDITION...LOOK NO FURTHER... HERE THEY ARE!! AGAIN, EVEN THE CASE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND AN ORIGINAL CARRERA/"PORSCHE DESIGN" CASE AT THAT. IT IS HARD PLASTIC ON ONE SIDE AND A SOFT LEATHER ON THE OTHER (PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES) THAT EASILY OPENS TO SAFELY STORE THESE WHEN NOT IN USE. PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A GOOD JOB SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM ME, AS THESE ARE A TRUE ONE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING BY ME! IF YOU'D LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE ASK! THESE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VIA THE USPS PRIORITY MAIL AND AS STANDARD, AN ASSIGNED TRACKING NUMBER (DOMESTIC ONLY) WILL BE ISSUED BY THEM. A COPY OF THIS THIS WILL BE ATTACHED TO YOUR PAPERWORK AND WILL STAY AS "ACTIVE" UNTIL YOU COMPLETE OUR BUSINESS AND COMPLETE THE FEEDBACK PORTION OF OUR TRANSACTION. I TAKE THIS PART OF MY E-BAY BUSINESS VERY SERIOUSLY. THESE WILL ALSO BE SENT FULLY INSURED. INTERNATIONALLY, I AM NOW USING AND RELYING ON EBAY’S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP) FOR IN THE PAST, I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME VERY UNSCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO SIMPLY “DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS”. SO IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP ALL PARTIES HAPPY AND KEEP EBAY’S INVOLVEMENT TO A MINIMUM, I HAVE OPTED TO TRAVEL DOWN THIS ROAD. ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK AWAY….. THAT'S IT..... I WOULD NOT LET THESE SUNGLASSES PASS IF IT'S WHAT YOU SEEK.....THESE ARE TRULY VINTAGE NOS STOCK AT ITS FINEST AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE A PAIR OF THESE CARRERA "PORSCHE DESIGN" SUNGLASSES IN BETTER SHAPE ..... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!! THESE WERE STASHED FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND I HAVE DECIDED TO RELEASE A HALF DOZEN OR SO ADDITIONAL PAIRS OF SUNGLASSES IN DIFFERENT MODELS, FRAME COLORS AND LENSES COLORS! THESE HAVE ALL BEEN NEATLY STASHED INTO ONE OF MY MANY "WEIRD SHHT DRAWS" TILL NOW! IT WILL BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK BACK WITH ME REGULARLY AS I WILL BE ADDING TO MY LISTINGS ON A DAILY BASIS.... OR TRY TO AT LEAST! THESE ARE A ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTING AND ONCE AGAIN, IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE A PAIR IN BETTER SHAPE/CONDITION AT ANY PRICE!! IN TIME, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOCATE A PAIR IN SIMILAR SHAPE/CONDITION, BUT NEVER ... NEVER IN BETTER ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION THEN THESE ARE!! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME A CHECKING ME OUT! NOW THAT YOUR HERE, YOU MIGHT JUST WANT TO TAKE THE EXTRA TIME AND CHECK OUT SOME OTHER COOL AND UNUSUAL PORSCHE, "PORSCHE DESIGN", BENTLEY AND AUDI ACCESSORIES THAT I HAVE LISTED IN MY E-BAY STORE THIS WEEK/MONTH...... (AND YES..... THERE ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE PRETTY COOL OUT THERE AND NOT PORSCHE RELATED ... WELL SOME AT LEAST!!). THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS WOULD BE TO TAKE A "WALK" THROUGH MY STORE AND TO DO THIS, ALL ONE WOULD NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT LITTLE "RED" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE (JUST BELOW MY SELLERS NAME AND FEEDBACK TALLY) AND A SINGLE CLICK WILL "OPEN" THE DOOR TO MY STORE.... IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH, ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY, YOU WILL SEE THAT TO THE RIGHT THEIR IS A "SEARCH BAR" ...
