Another example of just how good the fakes have become. On close inspection it becomes clear of course, but at first glance it isn't obvious. I'll bet this frame even has a passable switchlock function:

When something hits your eyes the lenses will shatter, the screws will dig in to your temples and the nose pads will shave some cartilage. Seems like a win/win.

HA! Agreed, at least for those who for some odd reason actually want to buy Foakleys. For those that get suckered through listings like this though, it does seem pretty unfortunate. But yeah, Caveat Emptor!

Wow. 4 bids too.

The Fandangos are such an oddity in the world of fakes. An inside joke that turned into somewhat of a legitimate collectible.

I certainly hope these are authentic Fandangos! XD

Not a bad attempt, but the sculpt is real rough and the paint/texturing needs work:

I wouldn't mind having it in my collection but not at that price.

Do you think it is 3D printed and then hand painted?

Fake C Six

Fake C6s are showing up more and more these days.

On another note, here are some examples of what fake AP Vests look like:

I wonder if these bootleggers may have access to authentic hardware like the D rings and tags.

...but I long to be trendy and cool. 😁

Any factory that produces Oakley goods will inevitably have some product leakage. I don't know if bags are one of the items produced in Brazil, but there will be parts floating around if there are.

Oakley gun holster? Sure, what the f not?

Well, they tried. Hahaha!

Calling this one a fake due to lack of Hollowpoint hinges, wrong parts # for the colourway, the way the lenses are seated in the orbital, the icon looking all weird and being embossed on the inner earstem, amongst other things. Still, that’s a pretty good replica etching:= (for a fake);

Totally agree. The hinges are a good sign.

Lots of fake “automatic” Gearboxes on eBay right now from Indonesia.

Anyone seen anything like this?

FandanZero

I take that as a "fake!!!!"! Lol

Story from the seller is that this was a special pair made on the nineties. Made for a bicycle competition, delivered by Walmart. Could there be any truth In this?
