beware of replica penny. saw one on the web. exactly as described by sunpoh. looks legit infront, until you see the back of the nose bridge, a flat head screw is on instead of rivets. BriP
X-Metalhead
yup seen this too, looks like its coming out of brazil, the closest fakes ive seen. xmetalfreak
Oakley Beginner
some even went the extra mile for fakes. even had gaskets and screws on the orbitals. the things that throws it off are the stem tips that bend outward and at the back of the nose bridge. BriP

yeah thats what im saying - theres new fakes that are EXACTLY identical - orbital gaskets, flex couplers, and even correct earstem tips! only way to tell is the screws instead of rivets on the back of the nosebridge. thats how scary its gotten. xmetalfreak

yeah.. well I for one am glad i can still tell fakes apart.. if anything, the last thing they would do is use titanium alloys in the fakes.. cos the production cost and effort > profits, so there wont be a point to that.. xmetalfreak
Oakley Beginner
they wont use titanium, but it would be a disaster if they use rivets and sell online as used or something with out box and coin. you cant tell the weight difference and material used through pics. specially the carbon and polished frames.
I have never heard of Oakley making a Carbon Penny... Did I miss the bus on this one or what?Similar threads
