Yeah that’s just all kinds of wrong.

 

[bugbeeuddon]

Not even close. And it's ugly too

Could I ask for some help confirming if these are genuine Oakleys and if so, what model. The seller says the model number on the stem is 11-828 COL 1. They are also apparently polarized. I have checked everywhere and cannot find reference to this model. Also the suffix COL 1 is something I haven't seen before.

I welcome your input.

Fake

 

[simommb]

Thank you. Would explain the difficulty tracing them.

Other than the questionable SKU (Yardstick), and the “off” lens shape (kind of a hybrid between 8.1 and 8.2), it looks a lot like Why 8…
The earstems and nose-bridge look ok.

Seller says he got them from Oakley in the UK. Doesn't explain the total lack of results on the SKU.

Those actually look like the why 8.1 in matte black with BIP lenses. I’m pretty sure I had a bag that looked like that too from an Oakley from that time period. The case looks incredibly fake though. Maybe you could ask the seller if they got that case with the glasses, if they say yes then you know for sure they are fake (I cannot remember if the why series came with their own case).

Picture shows Why 8 printed on the frame. Case is fake AF
