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

[mjt42]

Would be good to hear from the Pit Boss experts about the PB1 on eBay that @zwc0442 brought up to our attention. Color of plates, icon, and other details make it look as fake as a Lamborghini made in Cambodia. So please enlighten us with your PB1 knowledge.
Thx in advanced

If it was made in Brazil, it should have been labeled "Faked in Brazil"...

now i dont really know..couse i searched about and theres really a production of oakleys here since 2012 +-.....i dont know sure if its only clothes, or sunglass too, but i think now they maybe original......its globalization, i saw this on an interview with an oakley director here...an italian....probabily from luxxotica..

Yeah those are total fakes.

Screws in the nosebridge is always, and often the best, indicator of a fake.

Aside from what's been mentioned and other minor details like the rubber, what really jumps out is the finish, much too shiny. And the lenses, real 24K lenses have a contrast base tint.

24K XX were fairly popular when they first came out. At the time, the lens cracking problem with R1 was happening a lot and Oakley was offering people the option to trade in their R1 for another x-metal of their choice, many chose the 24K XX... suckers.

Stop rubbing it in @Kronin !!! LOL

Oakley has apparel made in various places all over the world. But sunglass frames are only made in USA or China. However, there are A LOT of fakes in Brazil.

You didn't describe the store where you saw them in much detail, but I'd bet they aren't an authorized reseller. Even if they are, that doesn't mean some fakes haven't "supplemented" their inventory. But they're fake. Buy at your own risk. If a deal seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Thanks Lee, the person got back to me. Their numbers xx-xx-xxx are the dimensions and the other numbers are their internal tracking numbers.

Now to figure out if they are legit or fakes. Let the fun begin

So, eyeballing these oakleys and kinda seem sketchy. Wanted to get a second set of eyes on these holbrooks.
