Think I got burned. First pair of Oakleys. Thought they seemed legit at the time, but now I think they might be fake.

The good: No screws showing, has the small icon symbol at the end of the stems, serial matches to color combo (although I have seen some serials with 137 at the end, mine dont have that), and the icon pieces on the sides are magnetic. No play in lenses, popped them out and they seemed pretty thick, popped in easily and snug.

The possible bad: Metal rivets have paint chipped from them showing silver underneath, the ear piece stems are loose. They click in but have some play in them when shaking the glasses. I did not think the cons were a big deal since the glasses are pretty beat. Frame is good, but lenses are terrible. Figured the stems are just worn out.

I am not a holbrook expert at all... Others can you tell far better than me. But from what I can see, they look legit!

It would appear that the pair is a legit polished white with violet iridium release. It's just showing signs of wear on the pins from either being rested lens side down or just pure mishandling of the pair. Nothing puts up any red flags for me.

As for serials reaching 137... that would not be part of the Holbrook range. To date the highest SKU is 9102-76. The 009102 SKU refers to it being from the Holbrook family and the 05 afterwards is the particular frame & lens combo released.

Has anyone purchased any glasses from oakley2014sales site they say they are offering 80% discount. Surely a bit too good to be true!

They're all fakes. Every single item there. Those sites keep moving URLs / domain names.
