Are Your Oakley Glasses Original Or Fakes (Knock Offs)
Having fallen victim to an unscrupulous business I have decided to find out how to identify or rather how to not get conned again.
I used to be able to tell the fakes by the way they look. The fakes used to be easily spotted with cheap paint jobs (Oakley do not paint their glasses that are plastic frame glasses), loosely fitted temple socks, uneven colours, misplaced “O” logo, sticker on the lens that leaves glue behind when removed instead of static cling stickers, and of course the price.
One way to check the authenticity of the pair of Oakley glasses is to go onto Oakley’s website and do a search on the serial number or SKU number of the pair of Oakley glasses vs the model that you intend to buy. These numbers are located at the temple of the pair of glasses that you are interested in. For some reason the makers of these fakes put numbers that are not in Oakley’s database or do not match the model. I do not know why they decided to go that route.
