Oakley Romeo Serial Number placement (Authentic)

[theendfanboy]

Good morning O-family,

Need some help authenticating this pair. I've been referring to previous pairs sold on this site and from my eye these look to pass my checklist. Only thing that is making me hesitant is the extremely low serial number and it's placement. Please share with me your thoughts so I can learn as well and hopefully one day help others in the same dilemma.

Those are FAKE, the earstem tips bend outwards on these, not on Genuine. Also, the metal looks 'tinpot' not Titanium.

I asked the seller for additional pictures of the earstems so I can have as reference (thanks for pointing out) also they claim it to be "Plasma"

Look on here, study the pictures of the X Metal you want to buy. Take snapshots on your phone/laptop/PC, then compare with the pair which you are interested in. Or buy from here(once you have reached the requirements), you're almost guaranteed a genuine pair on here.

With that Serial Number, it would be a 1st Generation pair and they look nothing like these: the colourway, regardless of which one, would be Matte, unless the seller noted they'd been polished.

Great insight, I am looking forward to becoming as knowledgeable as many of you are just with a quick glance. Thank you again for the quick replies

I would ask for some much clearer pictures - the orbitals look correct to me and the presence of spider cracks to the lenses would also be typical....
Also, the mounts for the nosebombs are correct.

The ends of the earstems aren't clear enough in the pictures to me to make a decision if they are correct or not....

Sorry, Mark, they're definitely bending outwards, mate. He's tried to be 'clever' about the angle of the shot.
