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

So I ordered a pair Oakley Radar Ev Prism Golf from Ebay and I didn't have a great feeling about the authenticity. So I ordered a pair from Amazon sold by Amazon. I don't have a great feeling about these either. I'm not an Oakley pro... I just got contacts and needed a pair of non script sunglasses and wanted to splurge a bit. One was about half the price vs the other...

I tried my best to keep these side by side... Left came with a small pamphlet, a smooth case, and a box that didn't have the "latch". The Which is why my radar is going off. But they did come with the protective sleeve on the arm. The ones on the right came with a big pamphlet, rough case, a box with the "latch" but no protective sleeve.

The lens shapes seem ok when comparing to the post everyone shares.. Both have Prizm on the lower corner, the camera just wouldn't pick it up. They do have different SKU numbers printed on the arms..

I'm hoping I'm wrong.. But I believe someone purchased a real pair on Amazon and returned them with fakes and I got the fakes..

They're both fine. As stated above, older and newer packaging
 
Came across this Flak 2.0 on ebay with aftermarket lenses. The sku OO9271-08 indicates it would be a uranium colorway it looks overall clear, with the exception of by the area around the hinge and icons kind of look uranium-ish.

Any ideas how ones bleaches the uranium color out.... or are they fake?

Maybe this Asian fit was exposed to ultraviolet light, where it was displayed? Just a guess, brother.

I’m mostly interested in how they bleached the frame. Since the bridge text and sku are intact, so it wasn’t acetone like other frames can be cleared with, nor was it sand blasted… so maybe your onto something

Good morning, I came across these glasses. Are they original or a good copy?View attachment 1268933
Those are a copy.
The writing on the left arm is wrong format, the proportions of the frame are all off, the polarized etching is in the wrong location of the lens. Along with a number of other points.
