[wwhcxmetal]

OK.....so making fake Oakleys ain't enough for these people....now getting into creating serial numbers?

Oakley X Metal_ Plating_Engrave Serial_ Juliet XX Romeo Penny Squared Mars Etc | eBay

Yes....most frequent requests: J000001 on Juliets, PV000001 for Penny...etc....and how about 001/750 for the 24K XS....out of control!

I’d be curious if they look legit. I actually contacted this company a while ago asking about a polished X metal and found out they are in Korea, I believe. Very shady...

You are right, and they have been reported. Thanks for positing this stuff, but in the future, please post discussion stuff in the discussion threads instead of the exchange so that it doesn't clog the exchange
Cheers

Mods, please move this post to a discussion section

Yeah this listing was discussed earlier this week in this thread:

WTF just found this on Ebay.

Really most of his services are just typical refinishing-type stuff same as offered by a number of members here. It's his offer to engrave serials where he crosses the line into forgery.

Were he to offer custom engravings but refuse to copy OEM markings, that wouldn't be as bad. But really if it isn't this guy it'll be somebody else; with the tech being available the genie's out of the bottle.

I’m curious too see what it looks like. Need to figure out if there will be a way to distinguish between real and fake. I’m all for custom engraving like @Dieseltech has on his scuba pair, but putting factory like markings is where we cross legal boundaries. Having matching box is going to go a long way if these look somewhat legit.

If the engraving looks legit. Only way to buy will be with a matched box.
It's either going to screw up the market or make legit pieces go through the roof.

Yes they shouldn’t do that!
The scuba Juliet I have is laser engraved and looks different too.
