I had both, originals and replica and there's not much of a difference, they both feel and look great and what I love the most is that instead of paying $500 I paid less than $50
I’m with Chai on this. The replicas are the way to go, there is basically zero difference between the replicas and the originals. Some screws and extremely small things? Who gives a shit, they look and feel amazing! Do not buy original Oakley Juliets, but the fake ones
That depends on the fake. There are replicas that are nearly identical to the original. Fake frame with real lenses are the best cost effective route if you don't care about resale value. I don't because I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on sunglasses. $100 is the most I would pay for sunglasses
I had both my Juliet Ichiro and Ducati Juliet's stolen out of my car. Motherfuckers threw a brick through the window of my WS6. That was a col years ago found a decent price today on a pair and pulled the trigger
Bought a fake one yesterday just to try them out, so surprised with the rivets, they're no longer flathead screws, the grips are grippy and rubber. Will try to nuy RX lenses
Omi I don't dare to trying, the screws on the fake Oakley the quality is very low, but I'll say this; the lenses on the fake ones are very thin feels like almost like film..
well, if you feel unconfortable with doing it, don't, my question is because I have a spare lenses, but the body of the original lenses broke beyond repair (the lenses were already in bad shape, that's why i got the replacement, also the body is weird, i think it has titanium coating because it won't solder), oakley no longer makes this model, so one alternative would be to buy a fake and install the new lenses.
I too would be interested in knowing if the "Official" lenses fit in the Fake frames. I may just buy some "Official" lenses and see if they Fit in the fake Frames. But i agree with Ga Za the screws of the fake ones may possibly not tighten up the same as when they was shipped to you, However you may be able to fix this issue with some "lock tight" on the screws before you put together the fake frames again.
Original models are very expensive the bastard big boss (oakley) is not interested in release again juliet and penny. So... i think if one wants this model is better a copy. Where i can find copies from this models?
I had 2 pairs of real oakley juliets. Sold them years ago for a huge profit, wanted another pair, not paying $400 for a pair and bought a replica for $23. They are almost identical and fit and look amazing.
I still hold a grudge towards Oakley for shutting down that US facility and moving all of their production to China. The x metal line is my all time favorite too bad Oakley is a garbage company.
Read the story of how this happened. Don't hold the grudge with Oakley (just hate the current parent company:) There is a company that has a monopoly on the majority of eyeware and will force you out of business or purchase you once they diluted your shares. It's called Luxottica. They tried this with Oakley, around 1996, and sales drop 33%. Oakley did not want to sell the company nor give them better pricing to sell at all their stores (Luxottica owns "LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Apex by Sunglass Hut, Pearle Vision, Target Optical, Eyemed vision care plan, and Glasses.com). Oakley stayed American and stayed strong but yes, many years later, Luxottica ended overpaying for Oakley at a price of 2.1 billion in 2007. Although, how can you blame the founder, James Jannard, for not selling out. He went on to start the Red Digital Cinema company that brought us the high end film camera the Red One. At least Oakley is still based in California and does manufacture some product lines in America. It's really people overpaying for crap glasses from Luxuittica that has put them in this powerful position and Luxuttica made the choice to start fabricating some Oakley parts in overseas.
Marco Avila Thank you for your response and explanation for that. It was heartbreaking to me when they shut down that line as I felt betrayed considering I do my best to only buy items made in the US.
I would prefer screws to rivets on the centerpieces anyway. those are the first things to become loose and ruin your pair of original oakleys if you wear them with any frequency period with screws you can just tighten them. You can't retighten rivets.
the foam noise is horrible
driven me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, there is a big difference, the weight the fit. The lenses , the re-sale value....pls stay with the originals....
Reve14twelve where did you find the replicas I have been looking for years
Where did you find the replicas?

$100 is the most I would pay for sunglasses
I still today maintain 2 Juliet's. Works flawlessly. New lens installed. Frame work restored better than factory thanks to X man.
Would you be interested in selling one ?
I had both my Juliet Ichiro and Ducati Juliet's stolen out of my car. Motherfuckers threw a brick through the window of my WS6.
That was a col years ago found a decent price today on a pair and pulled the trigger
I have the original one and also the replica from EBay . the replica is a little more heavy but definitely worth the money . They're almost identical
Could you provide a link to the pair you purchased?
I could care if they are replica, question is are they durable for every day wearing?
Can you share the link on ebay?
The squeaky chalkboard is killing me.
agreed
Oh fuck me, I'm outta here. That styrofoam noise is the devil's dick!
What made you think doing this video on Styrofoam was a good idea?
Bought a fake one yesterday just to try them out, so surprised with the rivets, they're no longer flathead screws, the grips are grippy and rubber. Will try to nuy RX lenses
these are SUNNCARI sungalsses,,,they sell them on ebay or wish
Muchas gracias por tu programa 😊 me acabas de aclarar muchas dudas y ahora se q mi lentes. It's original
Styrofoam desk my favorite!
Are the actual lenses interchangable? I mean can you take the lenses of the fake and they can fit the original and vise versa?
Omi
I don't dare to trying, the screws on the fake Oakley the quality is very low, but I'll say this; the lenses on the fake ones are very thin feels like almost like film..

Omi today I'll try to swap lenses and will let you know..
