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

Thanks for the replies. I'm learning on the fly here. I'm more concerned about them being legit than I am about them being a specific year or model. It's the style I'm after.
The fact that the temples weren't radiused to match the frame where the screw boss is was suspicious to me . I found an older post which shows the hinge detail as being the same.

Yes...legit. ok, thank you!

So if I'm reading correctly these are termed "square arm" and are of an aluminum alloy.

I appreciate the help.

They also appear to be C Wires?

Thoughts on these? Listing says they are Juliets. I'm a novice at both identification an d authentication but trying to learn as much as possible. The Warranty serial number font looks OK, but the letter "A" on the end seems potentially anomalous based on a serial number guide on this forum (OakleyForum Serial Number Guide), which only lists Warranty serials with either the letter B or no letter on the end, not A as in the photos. However, I found some threads on O-Review mentioning Warranty serials with A on the end, so not sure what to make of it.

These would be my first X Metals, I want to use them as a wear pair with aftermarket lenses. Also, if fake, I would love as much of a detailed explanation as you're willing to give. I do not have any real Juliets or other X Metals to reference and could use every authentication learning experience I can get. Thanks in advance <3

Real but someone modified the arms. Not sure if you could straighten them or not.

Unless these things are are super cheap, I wouldn't waste money on them. Those arms are trashed.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I also don't have a sense for prices yet either. It would be in the range of $325 + whatever aftermarket lenses I get to make these usable. Guessing it would have to be a decent bit lower to risk the arms being too tight and unable to straighten?

If you hang around here long enough you can get a good functional set from the exchange for cheaper than that. Just be patient.

Those Juliet look like someone’s prescription and maybe they had the arms bent by an optometrist to get the fit a bit more snug around the ears? I used to get my eye glasses arms bent near the ears so they stay on my head better

Are all warranty Juliets an X-metal frame? That seems to be the case if you look at the numbers lists. Do none of the other finishes have warranty numbers?
I'm probably missing something.
