the only tell tale sign are the screw in "rivets" at the x bridge

 

[bad fishy]

Whoa. That's pretty good imitation, or cloning.

the pit boss have all the screws, the correct embossings on the inner stems, and the sku #....
pretty messed up...

 

[jiveSEVEN]

Antoher giveaway that I know of if you are (or not) really paying attention is on the frame where the stems screw in, the "gap" leading from the stem to the templeshocks. That gap that adjusts the stem's "tightness" is non-existant on the fakes, at least from what I've seen on those videos.

The fakes are so close, that one of the videos shows the guy take out the screw for the lens, and places a gasket in between, then screws it all back togther! The colors are obviously not an original Oakley product, but
