Alpina M1/8 Made in W. Germany "Rare as Hell"

Christian Metzler — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:18:00 +0000

I already told you all about my love to the Alpina M1, its my Fav from day one, but what you see here is a somthing really special!!!

Its a Alpina M1/8 as far as i learned it was only made cause of an anniversary of the Alpina Company and only gave away to spacial shopholder or customers…i dont know if its the truth but they are really rare so it sounds like it could be.

I know three colorways of the M1/8. The White, the Black and the Golden one, all 3 have the tortoise decor as you cann see on the white one. These are really really ill!!!

Carrera 5595 Aviators Col.:32 Made in Germany 90′s

Christian Metzler — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:33:00 +0000

This is how a Photo of a Frame looks like, when I take a little more time for it!!!

I would say the Carrera 5595 is a classic to me, even if you could say that all vintage carrera-aviators are classics. I own them in 3 different colorways in Red, matt black and in an ivory-colorway. But i know there are some brown and other reds out there. I really like them, they are huge and i love big aviators. the temples are golden and the logo in the middle too.

Just great!!!

Damn, those are the shit!!!
Even if the ALPINA M1 are my most favorit Sunglasses from Alpina, those are almost as big as the M1s!!!

The best part on this Glasses from the ProCar Series is that the temples and the width of the nose are adjustable. So they really fit great!!!

My friend Masa from Japan got another pair in white and gold, if you love vintage sunglasses check his blog an site!!!

The colorways of the frames are gold, silver or black. The A version is the Golden one, B the Black and C the Silver version.
