Early monster dog with "oakley " logo on bridge fake or not ???

[Min Zaw Nyan]

Look real for me. I have ones with Dark Amber and Bronze Polar but they don't have Oakley print on the nose bridge.

I have a pair of crystal black, I will check when I get home. I never got the illustrated box though.

Authentic, no doubt

thanks to give the real autentication to me , i use them all day today and they feel fine , quality lenses so they are not fake
but tell me , what details tell you that they are authentic ???
the good constrution that you can see on photos , that you dont see on the knock offs like good detail logo on arms etc etc ??
or are you aware that the early models have the " oakley" logo on bridge ?
thanks

i usually dont have problem to detect fake ones , just doubt of the authenticy of this ones cause i dont know about mosnter dog with oakley logo on bridge
i know that sometimes on photos on ebay its dificult to detect fakes but if you have them on your hand its so easy to guess , even with close eyes
on the good fake frames if they are polarized you will see distortion on lenses , the chinese polarized fake usually dont have good lenses , they use a type of polaroid lenses that i think is no good comparing with oakley polarization that the polarization is introduced on the lens , and its not a sheet of polarized between layers of lenses like that fake chinese polarized lenses , and if you look to your face on the coating of lenses you will see your face deform and distorted .
sorry for my english but i think you understand me .
but even on oakley authentic polarized lensesand only on the polarized ones , i detect some distortion on polarized garage rock authentic and i want to discuss that on another post
usually i identify distortion looking trough the lenses to a far away place or landscape like montains or clouds , i move the lenses up and down right and left and if you have a good eye , if you see the landscape changing shape or moving too much usually you have distortion on lenses
its funny cause i have a pair of polarized Hijinx and i can t identify any distortion the lenses are perfect , maybe the garage rock polarized lenses have some problem on the factory i dont know or its just me being to much perfect , but its funny cause i explain the case to oakley and they give another pair of polarized for the garage rock , i was not happy with lenses again and i purpose to return that polarized lenses for a pair of non polarized black iridium and no distortion at all on the non polarized off course , i was happy , i stiill have the original pair of polarized lenses .
trying to explain you and this is a little off topic , what i identify was like an horizontal distortion line trough all the lenses , just in one lenses !!!!!!
and i know that the polarized lenses reduce the light distortion but i am talking of optical or visual distortion on lenses that you can see on the material of lenses

Kind of late but here's a tip if not already known.

So I know one way you can authenticate legit ones....I have never come across a fake pair that actually uses metal in their icons.....Oakley Uses real metal in MOST of their glasses with a few exceptions in some early models and some special edition models..(Bob burnquist...)
If you put a magnet near the icon, it will attract.

I never gave it much thought but I was under the impression that the icons were made of aluminum and then anodized. Aluminum doesnt attract a magnet. Ive personally never seen an icon rust.

I bead blastet an Icon of a Monster Dog and it turned red like copper. But also not magnetic.

lots of plastic icons. Lots of aluminum ones.
zero steel ones?
