OK I have had a pair of TF108's since QOS. Needless to say the leather on the end of the arms is now wearing thin. I am not sure if you can get TF sunglasses serviced. But looking at the TF Wliiams 207's I have the parts look interchangeable especially the arms which have plastic ends not leather.
So would you update you TF108's with parts from 207's to maintain the look but replace wearing parts? Sure it will impact resale price, though not if you save the parts you can always revert back. But I buy to use and I find I am wearing less and less due to wear at tear concerns on the 108's.
Thoughts?

207's left and 108's right
You could change out the arms but this might throw off the balance and fit. I'm not too sure how you would go about change the black plastic/leather earpieces, I'd talk to TF as -_Quantum_- suggested.
Hope this helps.
I was thinking just swap the arms and maybe the lenses so I can always swap them back.

I did send them an email some time ago but never received a response hence plan B

You would need to call Marcolin, the manufacturers of TF sunglasses, for any repair or parts questions. TF doesn't have any in-house ability to service sunglasses. It's handled by Marcolin. They were very helpful in replacing my TF 108s when the frame broke a number of years ago. You can find their contact info by visiting the Marcolin website.
Kind regards,
