X-Metal Juliet purchased in haste…

[Snakey916]

Hi everyone,
A couple of question;
I have been an Oakley fan since the early nineties and have bought more pairs than I care to remember! I have an original pair of Michael Jordan Romeos that need new lenses. i know genuine ones aren’t available but does anyone have any recommendations? I know there are a couple of companies that claim to cut their own lenses using Oakley plastic. Any thoughts?

Secondly, in haste, I bought what I thought (actually I didn’t think at all!) was a genuine pair of Juliets
Off Vinted at £85
Now that they have arrived I’m getting worried for a number of reasons;
1)They feel heavy (58 grammes compared to my Romeos which are 46 grammes)
2) The identification numbers are etched on the left arm underneath the rubber sock and not near the hinge
3) The lenses have no markings (replaced?)
4) The rubber bumpers that the front of the arms rest on when opened have 15 marked on them but backwards!
5) The bolts are not Torx head but hex head.
I have included pictures
Any help guys would be really appreciated
cheers Nick

Fake Juliets dude.

Thanks Broccoli. I figured it wouldn’t be good news

Fake Juliets dude.

Agreed

Also stay away if a company is cutting plastic . You can get genuine OEM lenses here. Or get CC from @Chris A Hardaway

Is this another straight stemmed fake Juliet? The companies making these fakes are getting better.

Vinted had great buyer protection, should be no problem. Good luck, lots of fake stuff on there.
