Well to clarify all , I have been collecting x metals at Least 10 years, I own: Juliet ,xx , squared, Crater, ROMEO 1, Romeo 2 , penny several of each... Just go to eBay
The price of replica here in the Philippines is 30x the price of the original. You'll never know which are the authentic unless you are the one who wearing it. I have 2 Romeos and 2 penny's.
Unless you are a collector, the fake ones are just as good as the real ones. There will be small differences but for 1/10 of the price I think those small differences are fine. I own original Oakley xmetals but buy replicas to wear outside. Oakley lens are overrated. Their prizm lenses are pretty nice but non-prizm lenses are easily replaceable by 3rd party lenses.
Yeah you're right, I do also have an original Pitboss and a replica which kinda similar to its original and wearing it for outdoor activities more often . However the purposes of this video is something different, he is not trying to say that these little differences make a huge difference. They're doggy people out there trying to sell a $35 AliExpress crap for $ 600 or even ! You need to be aware of that, right? It's your hard earned money that's a whole point, other than that nothing wrong with replicas
I agree, thanks you wrote that - fakes are perfect in many conditions (living in iceland - perfect for a sunny trip on glacier, sunny day, driving a car, you name it, they are perfect, you see the world as it is, unless somebody asks: hey!? are these real romeos? is there a serial number kind of question : )
I have had 3 pairs of originals, and I did like them . At this point though, I would pay a cheap price for something that looks similar and made of metal. I can’t spend 500$ or more for real ones anymore.
Nice review. I have 2 questions: Can you trust the UV protection of the fake lenses or it will damage your eyes? Are the original (or Revant) lenses compatible with the replica?
Just bought a clone and love them. Looks the same feels the same with a little tweaking.. and will take the original lenses. I saved 500 plus bucks. Bought mine from ebay for 38 bucks. There are people selling the frames for 400 bucks on ebay claiming they are real. The sellers are from Venezuela. So watch out.
Where did you get them? Please send me a link. I've wanted a pair since they came out in 1998. Never could afford them... and seeing that they aren't made anymore...
my only option is to buy it online, they are very strict here about replicas if and only if it is sold in shelf. So my option is just to buy it online.
Carlos Alberto Lino Filho There's plenty of original titanium Oakley's like on eBay, And they're expensive compare to replicas fakes, and yes , the titanium frame no longer for sale on oakley website.
@@boyzagal Do you know where I can get the Oakley Plate ones replicas? Legit ones are expensive and I dont want to spent a lot and notice they are fake.
To be honest I don't mind fakes if people are paying the right fair price for it, my problem with fakes is when people are scammed and pay the amount for a real one, or think they're getting a good deal by paying less than retail but still way higher than what the fakes are worth. Specially if buying online, a lot of people will be scammed by these fakes I can tell. That's why it's so dangerous that knocks offs get too realistic and close to the real product, will deceive a lot of people :(
Wish they would do Homages like watches, ie copy design but not markings. I love Monster Dogs which are getting hard to find for sensible money, i wear em for work. I searched on Amazon a few years ago and some Look Alikes came up no markings but loocked decent. Bought a few pairs but never thought to see if original lenses would fit. Can;t find em now.

I want to buy oakley Mars from eBay but how do I know they are authentic and not replicas? Do they even make Mars replica?
The price of replica here in the Philippines is 30x the price of the original. You'll never know which are the authentic unless you are the one who wearing it. I have 2 Romeos and 2 penny's.
what on earth 😂🤣🤣
Excellent videos concerning the x metals. Just purchased a pair of Mars and watching your videos. Very educational. Thanks!
Absolutely a great video I’m glad I watched it..
Oakley should never stop making the X-metal series, specially the Juliet, there will always be demand for it
They are all so badass. Just getting into them, but I'm hooked! The Mars are my favorite
LUXOTTICA CORPORATION BOUGHT them back in 2008 and they missed it all up big time 😡😠🤬

Completely right
Fake are Fake, simple.

Where can one buy decent replicas
I'm wondering if the original lens will fit to the fake frame..
Yea they do.
I have had 3 pairs of originals, and I did like them . At this point though, I would pay a cheap price for something that looks similar and made of metal. I can’t spend 500$ or more for real ones anymore.
I love the design for the frames, but there's no way Im dropping $1500+ for sunnies. I wouldn't want to buy fakes, but when you have little choice...
Thx for your great tip. I just bought myself a pair of real fake Romeo … all ‘crucial’ points are there … sigh …
Nice review. I have 2 questions: Can you trust the UV protection of the fake lenses or it will damage your eyes? Are the original (or Revant) lenses compatible with the replica?
fake lenses are amazing too actually
Just bought a clone and love them. Looks the same feels the same with a little tweaking.. and will take the original lenses. I saved 500 plus bucks. Bought mine from ebay for 38 bucks. There are people selling the frames for 400 bucks on ebay claiming they are real. The sellers are from Venezuela. So watch out.
Can you share the link of that purchase?
Original lens can fit to clone frame?
Where can I buy decent replicas
You forgot the etching on the left lens with the word XMETAL that also helps to tell real from fake.
I have extra x metal lens.
I have some of the fake ones. Just got them today. I’d rather have these than regular plastic sunglasses.
Where did you get them?
Please send me a link.
I've wanted a pair since they came out in 1998. Never could afford them... and seeing that they aren't made anymore...
@@ridwernich Temu is the website.
I have the OG ones my dad bought back in the 2000s. I never knew how much they cost but I always take care of them and I use it for running.
where do you buy these I can not find them
Can you share where did you buy the original romeo's, Maybe you private message me the link or paste it here. Thanks
ben tot
eBay
If you are in USA.
Price goes from $500.00 to $1000.00
Legit Oakley website does not carry the X Metal models anymore nor does Sunglass Hut. So how come there is still original?
can you message me where can I buy the replica?
ben tot where do you live?
my only option is to buy it online, they are very strict here about replicas if and only if it is sold in shelf. So my option is just to buy it online.
Canada, Edmonton
