Mars Earstems

@Nucchem: Nah, still here. Have a little patience w/ me, buddy :). I am just not on the forum 24/7 (my bad). Thanks for all your input, everybody!

Here are a ton of pictures to look at. As I said, looks (mostly) legit to me, but those earstems really put me off. Let me know if there's anything else that seems odd.

Personally, I wouldn't focus all that much on a serial # when it comes to authenticity, though. If you can build those it should be a piece of cake to etch / mill / laser a serial # (how do you think Oakley did it on X-Metals btw?) .

Frame looks perfectly legit here. Just a little strangeness with the casting on the stems. Its interesting though..I like it when there are variances in frames. Love that stuff a lot. Xmetals are so cool.

Those pics were better. Looks legit to me. And I now stand firm that it looks like someone tried to bend the stems with some pliers. The orbitals don't concern me in those anymore, the shadowing looks like it was making them look too fat in the first pics. These pics tell a different story. If the price is good and you want them, go for it.
 
Yeah, those first set of pictures don’t look remotely like a genuine Mars. The second set are better and way more convincing.

Wouldn’t want a messed about pair myself though.
