I'll blow them up and shoot them

I would probably shoot them before blowing them up.

That's a good tip about the shape of the ear stems...

From my experience the best criteria to spot a fake X metal (besides Penny) is the little space between the temple shox hole to the place where the stems go on the inside of the frame (as shown below). Even the newest generation of fakes which have absolute identical orbital size, almost perfectly shaped arms/stems and no screw-heads on the inside of the nosepiece still come with this detail different from the original.

If that was true, my 9 Juliets and 2 XXs would be fakes (and they're not)

Yours have the little space - I'm confused, what am I missing here?

I think he’s meaning that if it doesn’t have that space as pictured they’re fake. If you look at the pics OP posted his pair has very little gap.

I own 2 XXs and 9 Juiliets, including 2 bought directly from Oakley and in mint OEM condition, and all of them have that little space. Mine are not fake, and @Stanley_O must be very confused

I think he means that the fakes DON'T have this space.

But they ALL still have the most obvious error, which are the f*cked up ear stems.......see this and you know instantly, no point in bothering going through the checklist.

Unfortunately English is only my third language.. therefore I am sorry if I did not make my point clear: the little gap as shown in the picture I posted is what original X Metals look like and all fakes I have got my hands on "still come with this detail different from the original".

I would like to see examples of these "super fakes" that don't have the traditional fake tells except for how they do the little gap on the hinges.
