Oakley Split Jacket model number?
-
Just received my oakley split jackets today in the mail. Bought them off of ebay. Included were all the boxes and plastic packages inside, the dust solvent applicator, both boxes for the lenses, hard case, soft case, and the grey oakley plastic bag everything came in. Now, I'm not a d-bag and made sure everything added up on the ebay listing. I believe that everything I received is authentic. However, I have a question about the frames. There isnt a model number on the left arm. This is making me worry somewhat. They look/feel like they are real. I have had three pairs of plastic oakleys in the past so im pretty familiar with their "Feel". The lines of the frame are exceptionally smooth. The trademark oakley "O" on the outside of the arms check out just fine. The "through bolt" is medal and both jaws open and close effortlessly without making any noise. My concern is that I have never had a pair of oakleys w/o a model number on the left arm. Thank you in advance for you responses. --John

Answer:
I think you're OK. Counterfeiters are all about profit. #1. Counterfeit Split Jackets and Jawbones with working jaws and a separate bolts are VERY RARE. It adds complexity and cost to the manufacturing process which decreases Profit. #2. The "dust solvent" is actually hydrophobic reconditioning solution which puts the hydrophibic coating back on the lenses (it's not a dust solvent, per se) and including this would add cost to the deal. Again, decreasing profits. #3. Some new Split Jackets and Jawbones squeak when you work the jaws so that's no longer a good indication. That being said, the absence of the model number is a bit odd. They should be on the inside of the left arm next to wear it says "Split Jacket". Do you mind posting some detailed pictures? You can send me a private message if you want. What's the link to the auction? What's the feedback of the seller like? ******************************EDIT*****… Just saw your pictures and the auction. Thanks for sending them. They're legit. Since they're OCP, no need to worry about the model number. *****************************EDIT******… HTH D BTW, your split jackets are not "plastic". They're nylon. Oakley does have "plastic" and they are listed as "Acetate" frames. O-matter is a nylon based material.
