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!!!

Dunhill Shades are very hard to find these days and i think its because they are really one of the best vintage brands ever. The Dunhill 6069 are one of the coolest i have ever found since i started collecting vintage shades. With the square Lenses they look classic and high class. i love the combo out of the optyl-made frame and the gold metal right next to the lenses.
