Title: Fake Oakleys.... Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, June 14, 2006, 18:25:33 Does anyone think they could tell a legit pair from a pair knocked up in a Chinese sweathouse?
Obviously not the plastic tat you get but with the same frames, lenses, box and dodgy cert. I just spunked £110 on a pair of Police sunglasses tax free a few weeks back and to be perfectly honest I couldn’t tell them apart from a moody pair from East Asia. In fact I’d rather the moody pair so I wouldn’t have to worry about sitting on the things. Been offered a few cases at £16 a pair, should turnover a healthy profit even sold as decent knock offs. But not being a fan of all things Oakley I'm relying on comparing a sample against Tinternet. Title: Fake Oakleys.... Post by: Whits on Wednesday, June 14, 2006, 18:28:36 I brought some off ebay for £20 including postage, they where pretty good.
though they where classed as "rejected goods by oakley, something to do with a part missing but this guy had fixed them.. well they alright thats what matters 8) Title: Fake Oakleys.... Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, June 14, 2006, 18:32:25 I still haven't forgiven you for African iPods. :o
Title: Fake Oakleys.... Post by: Batch on Wednesday, June 14, 2006, 20:00:53 I guess as long as they look the part and do actually block UV light then that's OK. Selling them as original is obv. fraud but I won't tell.
Here are some tips on what people look out for http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/How-To-Spot-Fake-Oakley-Sunglasses-on-eBay_W0QQugidZ10000000000136594 I broke my Oakleys last weekend (snapped frame and scratched 'em) through my own stupidity. Fair play to Oakley, they offered me either a pair of straight jackets or XX O-Matter for £50 (normally 85) as a goodwill gesture to restore my faith in the brand. Title: Fake Oakleys....

No, I remembered suncream and a hat. I did sunburn my elbow and getting the suncream in my eye did lead to the brOakleys. Foggy, that's right. Seemed to be standing unaided upright.
