Oakley X-Metal Authenticity Checklist

[Typhoon]

I am pretty sure the maker of these things are trying to sell them off as replicas at a knock down price. Its the eBay scammers that try to pass them off as original at an inflated price.

If they make slight design changes, they can't have Oakley go after them, because they are not exactly the same.

I have talk to a friend in the Philippines. He bought fake Juliets and had a chance to talk to the supplier. He asked regarding the bent ear stems. The supplier said that they will not copy the Juliet exactly 100% and will stay that way. But he said that the xsquareds are copied 100%. Now that confuses me. Even the pitboss and csix are copied 100%. Why does the juliet differ?

Only down side to a post like this is that it is showing the people who make these fakes exactly what to "fix" for there next run.

been sayin that from the beginning

This thread is not going to help people make better fakes. They could just buy a Juliet and replicate it :face palm:

Are the bent tips always a sign of a fake? I have some xx 's that are bent at the tips but all else seems fine.

For X Metals, yes. Some other wire frames have this feature.

Post pictures of your glasses and we can help maybe.

I just got them out and looked at them again....I'm screwed. Flathead screws on nosepiece, lenses loose, no rubber. I. Had never seen xx's when I bought them off Craigslist. Learned a lesson already I guess.
