Hello! I just wanted to give a report - I've just spotted an absolutely fake Pit Boss 2 today. It was a Matte Rootbeer/Tungsten Iridium model. I met with someone who posted it online locally (Calgary, Canada). I didn't buy it, of course. I didn't know fake PB2s existed until today, and I didn't think fakers could replicate the see-through crystal material of the body. Anyway, here's what I noticed about it:
1. The lens quality was poor - not polarized at all, and did not have the characteristic Oakley lens clarity.
2. The "polarized" etching was not as sharp as it should have been. It was a little bit blurry, and a bit too centered on the lens.
3. The rootbeer frame was somewhat see-through, but not crystal-like. It looked cloudy, and felt grainy and rough.
4. The metal trim on the arm did not fit properly into the space as it's supposed to. It looked like the metal piece was too small and did not fill the mould shape properly. There were significant gaps.
5. The metal parts appeared to be of low quality. It looked dull and had a "painted" texture.
6. The screws on the interior parts were bigger than it should be, and was protruding. The lens corner screws looked bigger as well.
7. It did have the serial numbers, and the "PIT BOSS II" marking on the inner left arm metal piece. Watch out for blurry/low quality printing.
8. It felt very light, and the hinges felt very flimsy.
9. It didn't come with the elite box - the seller had an original microfibre bag and a zipper soft case.
So anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know in case you encounter one of these out there.
