Notice t shock 25 is fake. The 25 should be sticking out not indentedLast edited:
From what I can tell by looking at it on my phone with the shadow affect it looks like it's sticking out not stamped into the rubber.

UPDATE- the t shock marking is raised not indented. Will try to get better pics tomorrow. Will also see about weight on a digital scale. Almost everything feels off. Supposedly everything is Oakley OEM but the lenses are loose in frame, hinges are way looser than any I've ever seen, and there is definitely a difference in the density of the coating between them and the 2 other plasma I own.
Keep in mind, lenses could be aftermarket. Easiest way to tell is to take them out of the frame and look at the edge. Aftermarket lenses are usually pretty thin, and can tend to rattle a bit in the frame. OEM lenses are much thicker. dingo ate my baby

Damn I am tired, you are correct Rusts M. So it could very well be the real deal.
As no-one has pointed it out yet, I'll chip in with the fact that 4th gen Juliets are indeed completely free of serial or SKU markings on the arms, a couple of limited editions notwithstanding.Check the inside of the bridge if you must but they are legit no doubts. A fake will have slot screws as opposed to a flat pin head. Arm tips are fine, orbital cuts are correct and the frames 'thickness' also checks out properly. As carerra has said, it's a 4th gen non serial so no need to panic here.Last edited: Lenses being lose does not mean anything. Like others have said it could be aftermarket lenses and since these frames were cast there were inconsistencies in the lens channels. Lenses would rattle in the frames from factory so this is not a sign of a fake. A picture of the inside of the nose bridge would really clear things up.
