Oakley Over The Top - 1st Generation?

[qtrain23]

Zoom in. The paint looks jacked up. No cutouts for the pads. It might be fake. I'm like you though. Never had one so not 100%

1st Gen just had stick on pads, no cut outs

What leads you to this conclusion?

I’ve had several of them bought from OPDs in the fall of 2000. That is how the first Gen looked, defects and all.

Then from the looks of things, it's little wonder they produced a Gen 2.0.

Yes the original 1st generation did not hold up well. We had given Scotty Cannon the first production Over the Top and it looked abuse after some normal use. The ring in the back holding the lens kept falling out so you would have to glue it. The FMJ coating rubbed off pretty easily but that was common for FMJ coatings. I think a collector has that pair now. I remember seeing it. It is etched with 1A.

Well then, I stand corrected, my apologies. That is news to me.
