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

Hi, can anyone tell me if these are fake please?

Oakley Hatchet Wire Frames | eBay

I'm thinking they are, as I can't find that part number - 75-514 - in the SKU list.

These are the same ones RARE Discontinued Oakley Hatchet Wire Mercury Frame Only | eBay

I suspect the latter were bought from the first seller (he was originally asking for $130 for them)

Thanks for your help

I can't speak about the part number discrepancy; maybe because they came from an overstock clinic? Otherwise they look legit.

But they're practically worthless other than as used parts. You can get lenses cut for them. They're also missing icons but there's donors for that. But, like Freak said, you can't find rubbers anywhere.

Yeah, thanks. I know you can't get Hatchet rubbers, however this thread Hatchet | Oakley Forum suggests alternatives. But if the frames are fake, it's hardly worth it - might as well buy genuine article

If you hang around enough you'll find a pair with all the pieces for cheaper than trying to cobble together the parts for this frame.

Neither link is working for me.

Hi - not sure what the problem - also worked for me

It was a Tapatalk problem. Both links work fine on PC.

That number appears on the frame in the second seller's photos - it got me thinking fakes as I was checking SKUs via Walleva lens site. So not just a pn for the overstockers - I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mark up the frames with same number??

But they're practically worthless other than as used parts. You can get lenses cut for them. They're also missing icons but there's donors for that. But, like Freak said, you can't find rubbers anywhere.

First seller has accepted as little as $40 for them - so being in rip-off Britain, putting together a pair from completely new parts attractive. But if they're not genuine, it's not worth the bother.

Thanks for your take on them - appreciated

Product Dimensions: 2 x 2 x 2 inches! Let's hope that's a typo and you don't actually get some Jupiters pressed into a small cube...

I'm gonna go for it. I am hoping that is just a mistake as there are no negative reviews. I will post back with pics in a week or two

Are you in UK (what with being Justin "GB")? The seller with them in bulk doesn't ship to UK.

lol no they're just initials not pertaining to a location. Thanks for the concern though.

Are y'all talking about the same thing? Justin was looking at the Jupiter Carbons on amazon; Cryptic was looking at the Hatchet frames on ebay...
