Oakley X-Metal Authenticity Checklist

This thread is not 4 years old @OakleyFrankFMJ what are you doing bumping it?

Oops. I was browsing with my phone and fell off the roof.

I was going to weigh a stripped-down OEM frame and a fake one, but I do not think that is necessary. I have weighed all of my Juliets and they were 42 g (+/- 1 g for a couple frames). The fake weighed in at a hefty 56 g! The lenses were only 1 g different as well. So if your frames weigh 50 g+... they are fake! (At least this fake)

The one I weighed was 42g, but not surprisingly there is some variation.

Yup, your weighing idea is great, that's why I remember it.

Hey guys, just checking on what to look for with half-x's as the is no nose-bridge piece. Im assuming torx screws for arms and lenses but is there anything else one could use to quickly idenify a fake
