Like any successful / desirable brand you're paying a bit for the name but they're very good quality. I'm not sure if there's a difference between the quality of the "vintage" and new frames, I'm pretty sure they're all made in the same factory. It's difficult to compare them to other brands as their history and heritage is pretty unique.
Absolutely. Any decent independent optician should be able to do it, or you could do it yourself by buying some from somewhere like nosepads.co.uk (if you're in the UK).

Well I took them to Vision Express and with all their tools they couldn't get the nose pads off. I was going to try myself but if they couldn't then I've got no chance. Will try an independent that stocks Dita (Glimpse in Birmingham), otherwise I think I have to look for stick on Pads.

I have a pair of Dita Mach One. Real nice, sturdy and heavyweight but the aluminium nose pads are causing a lot of pain. After a few hours wear I couldn't take it any more.
Is it possible to swap them out for standard rubber pads? Could I take this to any opticians to do for me?
thanks in advance

Hey Andy, how does the quality of Cutler & Gross glasses compare to the price you pay? What brands are they comparable to? Is there a difference between their normal and vintage range?

Thank you. Will get them swapped out.

Andy, know much about these guys? Never heard of'em before. Wondering if they're worth the price tag as they have some decent shapes and colours https://www.archibaldlondon.com
