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.

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_W0QQugidZ10000000000136594I 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. |
