This morning I have been to all the places suggested above (
albeit that the address info could probably do with some work... so here goes).
There is a glasses shop, 'Optics Collections', inside the small shopping centre on Jumeirah Beach Road, which also contains a Spinney's.... it is the shopping centre directly next door to the
Lime Tree Cafe.... and it has a pay & display Car Park available outside.
Nb. This is not to be confused with the Spinney's about 1.5 miles up the road, i.e. also on Jumeirah Beach Road, but inside a substantially more swanky Mall (
name escapes me).
This retailer does indeed have a modest collection of Serengeti's but, as has been mentioned previously, most of their stock is either photo-chromic and / or polarised lens models.
The other place I visited was 'Al Falah Opticals', which is inside the Lulu Hypermarket, Qusais.
Nb. There is
no Lulu Hypermarket inside the MoE (
wherein ones assumes that what was meant by MoE is 'Mall of the Emirates' ?)
The retailer here also had a modest range of Serengeti's, but the same limitations on choice also applied here too, i.e. no models with the Drivers Gradient lens.
In summary, in non of the shops I visited did I find Serengeti's with the Drivers Gradient lens and, specifically, if you are looking for Serengeti Velocity 6935 (
Drivers Gradient) and / or Serengeti Velocity 7273 (
Polarised) then you will NOT find them in either of the two shops mentioned above.
Nb. A few weeks ago I tried order the Serengeti Velocity 6935 & 7273 from
Sunglasses Giant but whilst all looked good to start with, it turned out they that couldn't fulfil the order (
couldn't get the stock)
so they refunded my transaction.
Both shops I visited this morning attempted to locate and / or order these models for me, but it would seem that the local Serengeti main dealer / importer either doesn't have them and / or cannot get them.
So, if anybody knows of a (
reputable) supplier for these two models, please do advise.
