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

[Nikmel]

So these blades are fake? I don't have a pair to compare to but they don't seem fake except the price.

I purchased these Holbrooks from the eBay reseller Sasy420 (Worldtech Group Inc) for ~$160 to replace my broken authentic glasses (purchased from SG Hut) of the same type - gunmetal Holbrook prizm

I have combed over every detail, performed paint scratch tests, looked for red flags in the packaging and paper documentation, and tested the polarization in comparison to my old broken ones. The items which raise my suspicions, aside from the %30 price discount are:

- A perceived slight difference in weight (which very well could be a placebo effect);

- the new frames are of a slightly lighter in color than my old ones, (though my old one were exposed to plenty of sun, sunscreen, and skin oil);

- and despite the reseller having 80,000+ sales at a 99% rating, I can’t find ANYTHING about this reseller on Reddit, this forum or the internet aside from a couple posts. No user feedback, nothing.

If these are fakes they are the best counterfeit I’ve ever seen in my life. What do you guys think?

A picture of the box labeled might help, but honestly, to me they look good.

Of all the things you mentioned you left out the most important. What is the part # Most fakes have a similar, but not exactly correct part number for the model and color combo.

Here you go!

And the P/N is exactly the same, down to the digit.

Right on, thanks for help in verifying! Spread the word I guess, Sasy420 sells authentic Oak’s, real cheap.

Thanks again!

Hi all, is this cap fake?? It has the o matter on the back and a strange slide adjuster on the back as opposed to a snapback or velcro. Thanks for the help.
