How do you spot a fake oakley watch?

Answer 1

Some obvious signs that it's a fake pair of oakleys:

1) If there's any type of sticker on the lense (including anything saying "100% uv protection" or "polarized') they're fake.

2) If it has "Oakley" printed on the frame, it's fake.

3) If the "O" emblem is painted, it's fake. (all oakley "O" emlbems are a separate device that's attached to the frame, not just a raised protion painted a different color).

4) If there's any type of "seem" on the frames, from where the 2-piece mold used to make the parts joined, they're fake.

5) The rubber pieces (nose pieces and ear socks) will be dull and spongey on real oakleys- if they're shiny, smooth and hard- they're fake.

6) Real oakley lenses have a nice "finish" on the edges (with a slight "rounding" of the edge on exposed lenses like M frames or half jackets)- if it has any type of tooling or machine marks- it's fake.

Really obvious signs that they're fake: If you're buying a lot of 10 pieces from a company in china that has an unlimited supply of oblosete oakleys, (and paying $23 a piece for juliets that retailed for $350 before oakley stopped making them), they're fake.
