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

Hey Everyone - Im currently going through a collection of glasses. Almost all of them have SKU numbers, but I noticed some without SKU's. Is this normal for some pairs with darker frames? One pair is a Kato - everything looks good to me, but no SKU. The next pair is a Sutro S which has a O Custom logo on the right temple. The last pair is a Sutro.

I'm hoping the images come through in order on this message. Let me know what you all think and if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Custom pairs don't come with SKU numbers. Perhaps that's what you have.
If you have pairs you know for sure are real, you can use those to compare all the rest. Everything should be exactly the same. Any differences will mean it's fake.
 
Hi Folks, would appreciate some advice. I already own quite a few Oakleys and this is the first pair I have had doubts about. Chainlink sold as new 2 days ago, box is legit, SKU matches, bar code sticker from 5/9/2014, bag is legit. But I have serious doubts about the frames and/or the lenses. The lenses rattle, and feel loose. I have some replacement Elite polarized lenses from Revant that fit perfectly with no rattle but the lenses that came with the originals sound like a rattlesnake. Also, the text "chainlink" inside the right arm is printed rather than embossed and normally on the left arm next to the SKU. With sharp seams from a moulding process across the bridge and noticeable at the far end tips of the arms (compared to my Straightlinks from 2016). Thanks in advance.
I would upload a video if possible so you can hear the rattle.

Sku matches Chainlink (Asia Fit) Polished Black with Black Iridium. Maybe it's just a lemon or maybe the earlier models weren't as refined.

This also makes me think they are fake. Same SKU, Asian fit, polished frame, iridum lenses.
Does anyone know if those are original Oakley product photos from 2014 or composite shots of the fakes?
