Juliet ID help - Authentic or Fakey?

[JU-Apache]

The X-Metal council has spoken — unanimous verdict: replica.

Appreciate all the inputs. Thread closed

Was there ever a Copper Juliet? I don't see it on O-review...

Looks like a good copy but made of plastic. Nosebridge is off, icons look off (at least the little that I see), unfortunately, these would come down to weight and feel to be 100%.

but I am 99.99% sure these are fake.

IMHO the key thing you’ve said here…and I agree 100 percent is it often comes down to feel and weight.

I have to have a pair of Juliet’s (or whatever) in hand to recall the whole hinge channel tell…and fakes “are” just getting better.

Thank goodness MARS fakes have not fixed the lack of an orbital lens split/C-Rings. One glance and ya know that is a fake.

I look to ear stem tips in pics and generally does it “look right. In the end weight…but by then it’s too late unless returns are an option. Ugh.

If the dimensions of parts gets close enough, guys with blowouts might have cheap replacement parts soon.

I am absolutely not a fan of supporting the fake market…but often lament that these people doing fakes can’t channel their efforts into a legitimate quality replica parts replacement biz like the good folks at Linegear.
