Joined yesterday and learned how to spot fakes

[krapneb]

Hello first post after joining yesterday. I learned a lot about spotting fakes esp. x-metals through this forum. I bought these confident in my abilities to spot fakes and I paid the equivalent to $450 for these X-metal XXs. I only got the glasses and dustbags. No box, coin, and case. I am going to post pics because I am still a noob at identifying fakes.

The only thing I am worried about is the crossarm the pad’s number is 25. From all the pics I saw I’ve only seen 15. Also it seems like the previous owner replaced the ear/nose pads and may have done some maintenance on the nose bridge.

Real.

The 15 and 25 are different size temple shocks, to be used depending on the size of your head.

Ah ok I remember owning ichiro juliets back in the day and remember they were extremely small. These are kind of bigger and fit a little better, so that makes sense.

Juliets are smaller than XX also, the 15 actually makes them bigger than the 25.

Ohhh yeah I remember the lenses being smaller and back when I was younger it felt like the width was smaller. Maybe because I was a little heavier back then.

Never thought I would say this, you are an experienced noob. Which means you are ahead of the curve. We are seeing a lot more fakes than ever. If you ever find any please let us know.
