Follow the upper line and the temple layers
JMM describes ASCARI as a sharp, rectangular, 1950s-inspired design with double-laminated temples, arrowhead front pins and engraved wirecores. The reviewed BLACK MIRROR variant specifies a polished black front with clear temple exteriors and black interiors. Those layers make the side view a central part of that version’s description.
The supplier collage contains dark, pale transparent and colored frames. Across those images, the lens openings remain low and broadly rectangular, while the visible mass of the rim changes with opacity. Compare the upper edge and the depth below the lens at the same camera angle before attributing a difference to the model itself.
A mirror finish is not evidence of a changing tint
The official K3 BLACK MIRROR page names charcoal flash-mirror lenses. The supplier record instead lists Photochromic and tinted. These descriptions should not be merged into a claim that the offered pair has both properties: a mirror finish describes appearance, while a photochromic claim concerns a response to changing light conditions.
A collage showing different lens colors cannot demonstrate that one pair changes tint. Request the lens specification for the selected colorway and relevant evidence if light-responsive behavior is required. Neither photographs nor the general ASCARI name establish polarization, UV performance or the identity of the lens supplier.
Keep the two sets of dimensions visible
The official page reports a 48 mm lens width, 33 mm lens height, 34 mm DBL, 134 mm temple length and 144 mm total width. Its lens width-to-height ratio is approximately 1.45, which helps describe the low rectangular opening. The unusual 34 mm DBL is reproduced as the page’s stated value, not corrected by assumption.
The KUANGTU record lists 50 / 23 mm and leaves temple length unspecified. Both lens width and bridge differ, with an 11 mm difference between the two stated bridge values. This is large enough to require a fresh marking photograph and physical dimensions for the offered version. Do not infer that it is a different fit option or a transcription error without evidence.
Specify the appearance before requesting a sample
Choose a particular frame and lens combination from the product gallery, then identify it alongside SKU jmm-ascari. A request for black ASCARI alone leaves open the mirror finish, tint behavior and temple construction. Ask for the inside-temple markings and a consistent set of front, side and underside photographs.
Include lens width, bridge, temple length and overall width in the written specification request. Use the existing enquiry selection for quantities and destination, and keep any confirmed lens documentation with the response. The official source explains one version; it does not fill the gaps in the supplier record.
