The Porsche reading glasses is there a glaring counterexample: it not only looks totally good, the quality of Rodenstock lenses is impeccable and the bar is made of metal. Since nothing can break. The seat on the nose is very good, no press or otherwise. As an accessory, a stylish case is.
As such, I would have saved a lot of money if I would have these reading glasses bought the same. A definite recommendation from me!
