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

Looking for Juliet experts on this one, specifically those who know more about Japan exclusives than I do.

I was really wanting to bid on this pair but decided not to because I couldn't get over the feeling that something wasn't right. Its a polished frame but no hammer stems. The frame and lens combo isn't listed on Oreview. Opinions? Anyone care to educate me?

As far as I know HI Yellow was never offered in a Juliet.
Also some of the pics look almost like plasma not polished.
So I think it sold for to much being just a frame with 2 sets of lenses. Maybe @Dyeraudio or @Carrera1963 could shine more light on this pair.
I also thought some of the pics looked like plasma but that's not listed in the oreview database either. Like I said it didn't feel right so I didn't bid.

I saw this after the fact but, FWIW, yes, that looks like a plasma frame that may or may not have been hand polished a bit. And those HI yellow lenses are either cuts or aftermarket.

I don't recall if it was from this seller or someone else but I've seen other listings before described as "japan exclusive" that were actually just a custom job.

I didn't post it until the auction closed because I was thinking about bidding. There were just too many unknowns so I didn't end up bidding. They don't look like fakes but they don't match their description as advertised either so I passed. Decided to look locally for some fishing glasses instead.

Don't think there's any more light to be shone, reckon you nailed it already @Cargo. Never seen a non-custom pair offered with HI Yellow, including when checking in Japan.

I have some HI Yellow but they appear to have been cut by chainsaw and don't remotely fit in a Juliet. Not my best eBay purchase, that one...
