Same, but what makes you think that?

The metal detail on the bridge (nose part) will be very distracting and act as a focal point instead of your eyes.
It's generally a bad idea (design wise) to have a high contrast colour detail in that position on a frame.
bridge wasnt too much of an issue, glasses were huge!

They're fine if they're quite dark, but when they're light enough to see the wearer's eyes behind them I don't think it's a particularly good or flattering look (this applies to most colours of sun lenses in my opinion, yellow especially).
Quite a few companies are doing blue lenses for this summer.

These are huge, like 54mm. I looked at buying a pair just after christmas, local shop in Brighton (Bromptons) has them for about £240 I think but they are massive. They only come in this size, whereas the standard 714's come in 52 or 54. I got a pair of 714's, size 52 dark tortoise with havana lenses. IMO they are still a bit on the large size. Main difference between the Mcqueens and the standard 714,s is the folding mechanism. I have to wrap the cleaning cloth around them before putting them in the case as the silver metal pieces rub and can mark. The Mcqueens are of vintage design and fold differently thus avoiding this issue. Overall they are lovely shades and you won't see many other people rocking them unlike raybans etc. I would recommend trying them before buying as they are big, even if you do find a good online deal.

They do seem to still be available in some places, eg at Adam Simmonds.
I'm pretty sure that most on eBay will be fake.
There was a discussion about them in this thread previously, here.

whats your take on blue lenses?

They're PRISM Paris in the Zebra Horn colour.

I don't think they look good in that colour, the way the light section over the nose cuts across doesn't look very flattering.

Are the Steven McQueen 714 with blue lenses available anywhere still? I assume eBay = fake? Mate of mine wants a pair…

Retrospecs might have something similar at the upper end of your budget.
That style is called a panto if you want to try and search for similar.
