copy and "originals" when in Bali. The copy ones we always pay 100,000 for 10 pairs, either in Legian, Kuta, Jln Sulawesi Denpasar or around Ramayana in Denpasar. We buy up to 30 pairs a trip as they make reasonable work/safety glasses for the type of work we do. Lifespan? anywhere from 3 times to 3 months! Also make good pressies!
For original sunnies, the best prices we have ever got was from the little shop right at the start of Jln Sulawesi in Denpasar.. on the left, opposite the many gold shops. They also fitted a new pair of lenses to old Rayban frames for about A$20.00, took 2 days and they are still fine 2 years later. Quote from a sunglass outlet here to replace lenses was about A$128.00 I think!
