Official Fakes/Possible Fakes Inquiry Thread (ARE THESE FAKE? POST FAKES HERE)

That's what I was thinking. I'd like to get some Oil Rigs and Drums someday for the collection, but it will be worth it to make sure they are legit.

Oil Rig II, polished clear. I know the lenses are aftermarket, but are the frame legit? Seller said they bought them off of Mercari. I asked if the model number was on the left temple, but they said they didn’t see one on there. Makes me nervous since there are so many fakes out there.

They look legit. I have the same pair. No numbers on it . The backside of the icons look good. As do the markings. The pics below are fakes. See the difference? The clear genuine oil rigs icons are a yellow color on the backside

Never said the lenses were fake, aftermarket. Ended up passing on them, so they are someone else's problem to see if they are real or not.

Still looks better than the Kato

Has $50-60 Katos and $40 Sutros. Yeah right.

I keep seeing perfect fakes - Deadbolt, I actually got scammed on Mercari twice with these perfect fakes, the other was 24k Katos, anyone else seeing these things popping up everywhere?
