You could say - they're all fake. All Lux is fake

Honestly - this revalation has imo put Lux in the same group as Facebook - underhand

Sorry, Wavey, but what's new about this revelation...…….?

Err - I dont think unaware customers would be happy about their stuff being chipped. Its the first time I have heard of it, even though I have seen the chips and it didnt even register taht they were chips. I just thought it was perhaps a fixing pin for better bond between icon and stem.

wouldn't be far off assuming it was some sort of chip. china has a niche market of "abusive tech" that makes tiny devices for "surveillance" use. functional usb cables with gps/sim card hidden in the USB head.

Reminds me of the RFID tags you find under the insoles in certain shoes

The Chinese are tracking/selling/storing your location data.

Of course we are...we just made it look like the Russians.

this is the most plausible explanation. probably a new way to authenticate real oakleys.

I could spot a fake when I was 8 years old. It’s chlidrens stuff.

i just found one of these hidden behind the ear of a pair of Oakley Gibson Special Editions.
i've owned these for over a year, and there was a red label there which just fell off a few weeks ago, today i was going to cleanup the indent where the label was located, and noticed this chip set into a plastic form to hold it in the indent securely. given the size, it couldnt be any more than a passive rfid chip, so could indeed be for warranty tracking or somesuch.
it was certainly a surprise.
i cant upload pics here, so have an imgur link instead:
