Legit Check Juliet, First Time with Vintage Oakleys

[hubu]

Hey everyone,

I'm new to vintage Oakleys and just picked up a pair that I think might be fake, but I'd really appreciate a second opinion from the experts here.
Overall, the glasses seem fine to me – the build quality feels solid, and most details check out. However, I'm a bit unsure about two things:

1. The connection between the arm and the frame looks a bit off to me, should be gap over there.
2. The serial number looks a little strange or different from what I’ve seen online.

Since it's my first time dealing with vintage Oakleys, I might be overthinking it, but I wanted to ask here to be safe. I’ll attach some detailed photos for reference.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yikes, after following along these forums I can now determine how many fakes are posted in other places such as marketplace. Thanks everyone for sharing.

so many e-wire posts on here lately lolol, was looking at these frames but the price seems too good to be true. do these seem legit to u guys?? Those look legit. Honestly, thats about what I would expect price wise for a frame with no lenses and iffy ear socks.

Unfortunately these are fake. The temple part on the earstems are thick and on a real pair it is thinner.

There's not a 'step' to the hinge.

So, you mean looking from a plan view.
