Penny - Fake or Legit?

[boris81]

Hello everyone, stumbled upon this pair of penny. just want to make sure they are legit. they've been refinished to XM - all rubbers are aftermarket. Lenses seem to be OEM - seller doesnt know for sure. what do you think? also, considering the bridge damage, what would you say is a fair price? sunglasses only. thanks

Legit but needs Bridge repair or a new Bridge.
Pins in Penny don't go in as easy as Juliet.

Legit frame. They botched the tuneup by damaging the pins.

Get a picture looking through the lense. That will help seeing if OEM.

Still very wearable even with that slightly wonky/damaged nose bridge.

What a shame someone messed that up.

It can be repaired. But you'd think the monkey that tuned them up would have blasted them after the tuneup so the pins matched.

What makes you think, a guy that does such a sloppy job knows how to turn a polished pin into X-Metal?
It looks to me he enlarged the exit holes so the pin goes thru.
You can see rubber from the flex coupler oozing thru the pin hole.
