Need Help Identifying What Model Oakley Sunglasses Thread

[Dbninc]

Fake as hell

Thank you!

I have an old pair of Wires (I think?) that I desperately want to refurbish. They are going to need everything but the frames - earsocks, lenses and nose piece, but I love these sunglasses. Unfortunately, I can't remember what year I bought them or what model they are so I can go locating the parts to refurbish. I'm hoping that folks here might be able to help. These have to be fairly old, 2007-ish? or earlier. I just blew through a bunch of pairs during this period of my life (backpacking, skydiving etc..), and these are the last pair standing. The model number is stamped under where the earsock goes and is 74-781NC LA 8C. I can't seem to find any combination of 74-781 on this forum or googling around. I'm certain these were originally purchased at a sunglass hut.

For a bonus, my wife has a newer pair of Unstoppable oo9191-10 that my daughter managed to break the left temple off. Does anyone know of a source for these, or should I just keep trolling for junkers on Ebay? Oakley customer service wasn't really interested in helping.

Thank you!

Welcome.
You will get MUCH better customer service here than from “Oakley”.
Those frames are Whiskers, and use Oakleys generic Wire ear sock/nose pad kit.
They should be easy to find in the Exchange.
Happy hunting!

Thanks! That put me on the right track. I was able to get some new lenses from Fuse and am looking for earsocks & nosepieces now.

Anyone know what the gasket-looking lenses are? Can they be used with whichever frame that is?

Hello OF family. So I was thinking that these were G30 black iridium lenses since they are kinda pink. But now I’m thinking that’s not correct because the frame is matte black and not polished and the lenses look kinda brown. But when I look on Oreview the G30 Persimmon looks way more brown than these lenses. So which version do I have?
