Microchip on oakleys????

[Lexkempo]

With all the fakes out there maybe it helps Luxottica customer service w defective return... This way they can pop an icon off to make sure they are genuine before issuing credit or replacement? That's my guess. Weird! I didn't know that!

I like this idea

Considering it’s like the most counterfeited frame out there...

Yep, you got it. It’s part of a program Lux started a couple years ago on Oakley and Ray-ban for counterfeit monitoring and deterance.

From the Lux website....
In this context, Luxottica has developed GLOW (Guaranteed Luxottica Origin Worldwide), an innovative traceability system based on RFID technology which allows to verify the authenticity of the products as well as suitability of resellers through a sensor (RFID TAG) embedded in the frame. The device contains key information to identify unambiguously each pair of glasses, from production to sales destination. It is passive (emits no radio waves) so it is safe for health and does not record personal data but only delivers information about the products.

Our way to protect brands and customers

Nope, don't want that. Oh well.

All this is great but I see some Dale Earnhardt themed Oakley's in the background that I am more concerned about
