How Do I Know If Juliet Lenses Are Authentic?

[cacatman]

Am I extra dumb? I can't figure out how to PM him?

You have to get your post count up and wait 2 weeks before you can access the exchange areas to buy lenses from him.

Be careful. Some lenses that are etched are not genuine Oakley. There's a guy from the UK here who was selling etched Chinese made lenses (which some thought were Chinese knockoffs), but which he said were made by Carl Zeiss.

My mistake. They say "Polarized", not Oakley. I know the frames are legit, I got them straight from Oakley back in I think it was 2000. I did buy lenses about 10yrs ago thinking they were legit. Am I guessing correctly that they're not?

Thanks

If you bought them 10 years ago, they're likely legit. There weren't good fakes then.

@Gunn has some of those OEM polarized Fire Juliet lenses for sale in the exchange.

all my OEM lenses have a beveled edges and not sharp edges and they are between 1.4 and 1.6 mm of thickness. If you pm me a picture of the lenses I’m pretty good at spotting non oem pairs. The hardest ones to spot though are black lenses because a number of factors. @Chris A Hardaway can hook you up with custom cuts or I myself have several oem pairs that are OG non custom cuts just let me know what exactly your looking for and ill see if I have it

Yeah, the cheap ones I've come across are flimsy. The heartier lenses will have the tapered edge @Walter Langkowski described.

You're not dumb. You could just keep responding here. Lol.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll get a set through Chris.

I think the lenses I have now are "Fire"? What do you guys think? Are they Fire?

Also considering gold.

Yep they are fire... one of the darkest shades. Gold is so much more pleasant to look through. You have my vote! If you can find the original gold iridium and not the 24k I think they are one of the best all around lenses.... hard to find a donor anymore though

You think the Fire is "shaded" more than gold? I'll probably stick with Fire then. I like how the gold looks. But I think the Fire's are alreday a bit light. I'm pretty photo-phobic. I can almost wear them in the dark!
