Need Help Identifying What Model Oakley Sunglasses Thread

[TheStig]

Gen 2 CB, Black strike lens..and quite prone to cracking at the temples.. the crystal series thermoplastics used for the Gen2’s are notorious for hairline fractures.

@TheStig is it in your possession? If not ask for bottom up pics of the temples. While the tops have no fractures, the bottom of the hinges may.

Thank you.
Seller confirmed that Hinges and Frame is without cracks.
Please school me.

Correct, still ask for the suggested pictures, always better to have visual proof. Especially since the bottom hairlines can be very difficult to see on a cb frame. The hammer stems will close as though there’s no issue, however there will be a wobble.

So from what I see in the second pic posted, the right hammer-stem is sitting above the table, which is a prime identifier of a crack in the hinge, which is also visible in the third pic.

If the frame were as the seller said, without issue both hammerstems would be flush with the table.

Good because there is definitely something off on the right side, more so than a hairline, a hairline shouldn’t offset like that.

Just want to make sure you’re not getting screwed over.

@TheStig for point of reference from a pair that I thought was perfect, and unmarred:

Look at the highlighted portion:
