EDIT: Just received the RB4115 wrap style Ray Bans directly from Ray Ban. Larger case than normal, looks fake, but the info packet is legit, box is perfect. But the case is smooth grain, with the larger stitching. I think I might take them in to Sunglasses Hut to see if they think they're real
The stitching on the case is also different. The length of each stitch is longer on the fakes and it looks looser. Shorter stitches uses more thread and makes a tighter/stronger seam.
can you tell me what that mean 1 colors , 2 Colors in Ray Ban Glasses 🙏
No
Where the link for the fake ones now? The $30 ones
I work at a Sunglasshut and it's always funny having customers mumble to themselves that they are fake when Sunglasshut is owned by Luxottica...and Luxottica owns Ray-Ban haha
Ya it’s very annoying here on RUclips hearing that as well. Like NO Sunglasses hut didn’t sell fake sunglasses THERE OWNER BY THE SAME COMPANY
@@ShadeReview Sir, I dont know if you can help me, I know the rb3025 did not come with Chromance glasses but can they be replaced with Chromance glasses?
@@yashbrojmohun5019 no they can not be replaced wiht chromance lsnes
In 2001 I bought my Rayban's at Sunglasshut. My RB 2045 Cutters w3289 serve me still today.
The magic of Rayban's is that they mostly use " real glass " lenses.
Real glass vs plastic and other materials = real glass is heavier, but don't scratch that easy.
My Rayban's are now 21 years, and still look good and are amazing to use.
So guys get your Rayban's at Sunglasshut !
Great service, good prices, and excellent quality.
Ps some beauties in their shops too.
I bought a pair of Ray Ban Olympia,s I’ve always wanted and wondered if they were authentic, from all my research looks like they are. Anyway they look great. The lady that waited on me was very friendly and nice. Got a discount too.
When you see them next to each other, you can notice that the fake ones have a much brighter lense than the real ones. You can actually see through the fake ones the color of the table. With the real ones it’s just dark polarized.
G15, not polarized in this case. So wrong information yours...
The Fake and The Original - the production cost was probably the same for both of these pairs- that's funny.
Yup.. And a $20,000 Rolex cost no more than $40 to make. Unless it has rare materials like gold
@@PsychoBenches True - but Rolex indeed is using good / expensive materials. Of course a big part from the price is ... 'branding'. The situation with glasses - same acetate frame cost 10 times more just because of the ... 'branding'. Ray Ban (same materials) long time ago was around 35 to 50 bucks - after Luxottica bought the brand suddenly they cost around 150$ or more. Branding != quality as it was on the past - on 80's a product price was related to it's quality, today is related to the brand - the connection quality / price is not important anymore. Humanking wannabe 'someone' therefore the need for validation trough 'high end brands'. Hmm ....
I actually found an undamaged pair sitting on a dresser in the furniture dumpster at a recycling drop off. Thanks to this video I'm 100% certain mine are genuine,pretty cool to find a free pair of Ray Ban 3025 aviators!
*This Channel help me a lot when i bought my Wayferer 2140 (G-15) and my Aviator 002-58 (Crystal green)*
@Sees Fisher mine is legit sir. i ordered it directly from Rayban online store.
My quickest and easiest way to tell the difference between real and fake is where the temple piece connects to the frame. The fakes have little or no taper from where the temple rod is round to where it is flat and connects to the frame. Real glasses have approx 4.5 mm where the taper begins then becomes flat and ends at the screw hole. The fakes are approx 3.55 mm or less.
Watching this after buying a pair of fake ones for 100$ 😂😂
U got scam :(
@@javierchinchilla9981 You don't say..😂😂
Definitely! I am looking to buy a pair of Ray Bands for my boyfriend. I don’t want to buy him a fake pair! How’s
@@MsLee-oh7hy buy them straight from Ray ban
@@MsLee-oh7hy or any store which is selling legit stuff. Optic store or im my case boarder store. Its basicly tipe od store near the boarder where you can buy glasses, watches, perfumes, liquer, women and man bags, wallets, candies... You can buy stuff cheaper because of they're concrats with the companies and you can buy some stuff tax free. Well depends of the price. For the Ray ban aviat definitly you can get tax return. Its Like one of these shops on the airports. I Got mine for about 175$. Maybe a little too much because its not polarized glass but still aviat is mine favorite and i didnt want to order it online because of covid situation and possible damaging. I saw how some postmans handle packages and its Like "how far i can trow my frizby". And raybans are not that much secure for that kind of handeling. Some phones with hard boxes or some clothes yes but glasses, liqers, parfumes... And of course if you want to order it order it from the official site. other ones not. I didnt because of the waiting time and they would not Cost me that much if i ordered them. Iam from Croatia soo this price was good purchase.
Luxottica owns Ray Ban and makes Ray Bay without the lettering for 1/3 the price. They also make 95% of all glasses and sunglasses.
But it doesn't say Ray Ban on them. While I do agree with you, such is the market for style. I can get a pair of sunglasses from a dollar store, but again... brand.
@@alararkadas92111 Right. They put the Ray Ban lettering on for their Ray Ban store and leave it off for their cheaper sales. Both are the same glasses.
Where?
@@JimS870 Slight fit and finish might be better on the name brand and the seconds and thirds go to Walgreens and the Dollar Store to unknown names. Does not justify a 500% to 1200% mark up. You can buy "real" Timberlands in Korea for $20 made on the same machines that the US bound Timberlands are for $120. They just go out the back door instead of the shipping door.
Baserocklove There’s a reason why this information isn’t apparent/easily accessible. It’s meant to be none of your business sadly.
I bought my Aviators 30 years ago and still wear them today. Dark lenses and gold frame and they look like new. Do think Oakley lenses still take some beating.
Thank you very much for the information.One more thing you could probably do is see the weights of the fake as well as the real one on a small weighing scale.
Thank you for your video it was very helpful. I just received aviator rainbow, it has all the proper markings from box to glasses. But it didn’t come with a sticker on the lens. Does this company sometimes sell them without stickers on the lens?? Or did I get second hand🙀
Conclusion of this video is, if you need macro lenses to spot the difference, it means they really nailed it with the replica.
they definitely put in $60 worth of effort!
If all you're interested in is fake name brand and not decent lenses that are good for your eyes, yes. Truth is they are probably made in the same factory 🤷♂️
@@SGW4K probably not made in the same factory real ones are not made in china and it’s in a very professional factory in Italy
As long as the fake ones still have the UV protection who cares right?
forget the frame, its the lenses. You get crap lenses with fakes. If you dont care about lenses, then i see no reason to buy Ray Bans or any high end sunglasses. Just buy cheap 20 pound ones in the style you like
Is it OK that letter in the arms go getting delete with the time as we use the lenses? Or do they last forever?
I bought a pair of RayBan 2nd hand, They looked authentic, but i don't know. They're great for the sunny days, very clear and sharp. My problem is it's impossible to adjust the nose pieces so they're comfortable. No matter what I do, they find a way to "dig in" somewhere & leave red pressure spots. Any suggestions for this problem? Don't tell me to not buy 2nd hand, because I like the glasses very much except for the nose pieces.
I have bought 2 pairs of Ray Ban's classic aviator, both original and check this out: the first pair: silver frame and mirrored lenses with a black case and the second pair: gold frame and green lenses ( the more classic) and a brown case and guess what: I've noticed that difference too: the black case is thicker than the brown one and they're both original. Maybe that's how they do them. Let me know what you think about this
Yes there are different case sizes. For example the oval or round have a slimmer case size. Whereas there's also a bigger case
$70 for a fake? Damn I paid $12 on aliexpress lol
Aliexpress itself is a fake version of the real Amazon
and i bought fake one in just 2.9$ with under writing and same fake model and without box
lahore, pakistan
in India fake Ray-Ban $5 only and real Ray-Ban $100 +
Cheap sunglasses are generally between $10-30 depending on the brand and the quality. They can’t be ripped off because there’s no point to pretending plastic frames are acetate. Rayban will always be expensive but you get them for less on legit gray market sites and you can get used authentic Raybans for a substantial discount.
Bought some in Chinatown for $20 cuz who cares 😂
Are you saying real raybans dont come with the booklet that has RayBan on both sides?
I've bought two pairs, one is polarized and the othet is not. The polarized one has the small RB on the outside but the non-polarized one has it on the inside. Both come from the original Ray Ban site. Is this normal?
Hi, can you please tell me if the nose pads are both stamped in the same way so there is no difference between right and left sides or they are different. I’m referring to the RB stamp location on the nose pads
Ebay items travel tough so don’t expect packaging be as smooth as from direct outlet.
Couple of points you can buy Matt gold frames for aviators and if you buy direct from Ray-Ban they don’t come with the QR code sticker on the box.
Yes they do.
Incorrect. I have ordered multiple ray bans from their website and they do come with a QR code on the sticker box.
David are those fake in your profile pic LMAO
@@DavidLee-uk6xg tbh they look like gas station sunglasses
Really interesting video, had me looking at my Ray Bans to find the things I never thought about before 😭
I got mine today, everything looks genuine the shiny gold sticker, the ray ban made in italy on the top, but the RB logo on the lense is printed inside the lense and is only visible through the light, is visible without any light from the inside but from outside it requires to have light on the other side. Another issue is with the temples, when I put the glasses on a table, just a temple touch the table, the other temple is like 5 millimeters up and doesn’t touch the table. Anyone knows if this is normal?
The fake ones can be found in the Philippines for 1.00 and they look good just like the Ebay ones, i travel to Asia alot.
The white Ray Ban logo in the upper glass is corner-centered on the original. On the copy it's slightly more towards the top VS being right in the corner.
Definitely I forgot to mention that! On fakes it’s usually higher
I doubt you will you get much consistency on the fakes... I would bet the logo floats around quite a bit on them.
what about itching of RB inside the right side glass? also the lower bridge in genuine RayBan has just one U shape curve but on the fake one the U has two small handles that welded it to the frame.
I found a pair the other day, cuban aviators with green lens, golden frame, they feel REALLY real like they are heavy, and they have RayBan logo white top left on left lens, and RB ingraved on right lens, dunno if they are fake
your video really helps to spot the fake. good work
You really do look like Everything Apple Pro's sibling. I am subscribing because your videos are helping me with purchasing sunglasses
Thanks man!
@@ShadeReview he is actualy relayed to him
What’s also important too is the weight of the sunglasses for example a fake Rolex would weigh less than a legit one. Never checked myself personally.
aside from the box, the case, and all the accessories, how is the functionality of the sunglasses in term of screening the Sun ray compare between the ebay version and Luxotica? are there any significant difference that worth the price difference?
I'm confused.
I've bought polarized aviators from a legit local store and paid around 200$ for them but they don't have any writing at all on the nose bridge and the logo on the nose rest looks like the one on the fake ones but the ray ban logo on the lens looks absolutely perfect. Did they really sell me fake glasses?
I'm from Europe,idk if that makes any difference
This guys talking sh*t
i have this same issue, did a legit retailer just sold me fakes?
10:09 the: "Ray Ban MADE IN ITALY" on the upper bridge introduced recently in 2019 I think...If someone accurately knows better please correct me, anyway that significant detail is very new, apart from that, all the rest features existed pretty much for years already!
you are correct
was beginning to worry I have fake one. bought it in dubai though
@@lollol-mg9cr no...not at all...but keep them as past issues will eventually gain some kind of vintage value over the years....you'll never know from marketing perspective what Ray Ban's policies will be in a decade from now for example....so at least for educational and archival reasons it is nice to keep your pairs.
I bought a pair of polarised aviators for $120 but one of the ear frames feels slightly stiff like a screw is slightly too tight. Does this sound legit as it is an easy issue to fix
I bought one Ray ban from a renowned shop in my city. However, after few years some green layer developed over the frame. Could it be because of sea water and sweat????
I noticed mine also had that green layer. I got it in 2013 and 5 years ago I moved to a city that's next to the sea so now that you've mentioned this, it clicks.
Thiner cases are more common in ray-ban too it depends on size of glasses and the model itself, for example clubmasters become in larger cases than the aviators and small aviators become in smaller cases than the large one etc..
so i just got a new pair of raybans yesterday and i bought from the rayban website and mine the cloth and little pamphlet were together in the little package and there was no sticker on my lens. just a different way mine were shipped from this for others whos came my way.
Can a real Ray ban glasses can also get sketches ?
What If they are not so expensive ?
I bought a rayban aviator 58, 32025, the detail on sunglasses are same with the real but the packaging was without the luxotica yellow stick. Do you think is fake ?
Would've liked to see them weighed on digital scale. In my experience,not sunglasses but life, there's usually a difference in material which would show up in weight.
G15, not polarized in this case. So wrong information yours...
@@aligul2964 are you saying that the video info is incorrect?
No this should be an answer to Karely Salas comment. My mistake, sorry.
theyre exactly the same minus the etching
Hi..I recently bought a pair of hexagonal ray ban glasses .. I just don't understand. In the moment when I put them in front of my eyes, the ray ban logo comes on the right lens. in all the pictures of the other people I see that it comes on the left lens ... are my glasses fake or does the logo have to come on the right lens? :(
in 2018 model,is there an etched rayban made in italy in the top bridge?my rb3026 l2821 has no etched in top bridge but complte in all details...tnx in advance
Eduard Morales It was introduced in 2019 the upper etching on the bridge as far as I'm concerned...
You should know exactly what’s you looking for as Rayban Vintage USA, because now Rayban has been produced from Italia.
They were produced in the U.S. until the mid 1980ies, then in Italy until almost 2000; then mainly relocated their whole production to china where now nearly all Ray ban sunglasses are made; with only few exceptions to italy, where only prototypes and new coatings / models / designs are built in low quantities.
Wow I always knew those $50-$70 deals were just to good to be true thanks for the video
I just ordered American Optical military sunglasses off ebay new for $14. I assume that these will be fake knock offs. About 10 years ago I bought the same glasses discounted for $75 a pair. I'm curious to see what I receive for $14 ?
bought a pair of caravan 3136s i understand they are an older model and they were pre owned for 70. The Ray Ban logo on the bridge is on the bottom, is that legit? since its pair from back in the day
Another excellent film. It’s good to see a side by side comparison. I’m glad I found your channel.
By the way, was that a Spyderco knife?
Thanks so much man!
And yes sir it was a Spyderco Para militarily 2 in S30V
Shade Review I do like a Spyderco, I have a little Dragonfly II and it’s my favourite pocket knife. Cheers.
@@deltanovember1672 Sweet! I don't have a Dragonfly but I want one!
Shade Review Nice little knife with an unusual leaf shape blade. The Chinese have been faking Spyderco too. They have no shame.
Delta November on another channel of mine I actually made a video comparing a really good PM2 to a fake one haha
That knife is awesome!
About the lens do they have the same quality of the fake when use while driving?
I bough a pair of ray ban chris in a certified by ray ban store but it did not have the white label on the box. The other details tell it is original but i am not sure because of the label. Could you tell me what you think?
As someone in the eyewear industry - and a Ray Ban aviator fan for decades (although Luxotica - Essilor - is our main rival), I'm old enough to remember when REAL RB were 40 bucks! Luxotica ruined the price points (and quality) from the original Bausch + Lomb offering. Some of this is not a warning of counterfeit: the fold in the microfiber, for example. The frames are where it matters. And you found a lot of the fake flaws - a very thorough review!!
Hey thanks for the insightful comment!
Don’t forget inflation is the biggest factor in ray bans increased pricing, I have found old receipts ranging from the 1970s to 1990s and then I pop those numbers into an inflation calculator and the new ones were about $10-$20 more adjusting for inflation!
@@ShadeReview Costs rise, no question. All around. But Luxotica put a premium on RB after their acquisition. This is the designer dilemma. Many frames, regardless of price, are made by the same manufacturers. Branding is a major component in consumer pricing, irrespective of build costs. They increased prices to elevate the appeal. But it is my opinion the product has nothing to ahow for that.
I’m also in the industry, and when I started out in the mid ‘00s, basic RB aviators were $99. But I’ve also seen the warranty pamphlet tucked into the cellophane along with the cleaning cloth. Ray Ban lost their hold on the market when Oakley became top dog. Lux buys Ray Ban, re-markets them, buys Sunglass Hut, then tries to force Oakley out. Associates were also *nudged* to sell RB over Oakley. At the end of the day, Lux’s motto is always “if you can’t beat them, buy them”.
@@nathansnyder8378 They were cheaper before that! Of course, the counterfeit industry wasn't as prevalent then. This also adds to cost now. And I do believe the product was better before Luxottica.
@Bob Boberson I agree with you 100%
Look for the RB laser encrypted emblem in the upper left side of the left lens. I worked for Sunglass Hut
Any images of that by any chance please?
@@AKDisobey I'll provide you with a pic
@@AKDisobey if you want I can send to your email? I'll attach the photo there.
@@AKDisobey email sent 🤙🤙
The "RB" etch is in the middle of the left lens toward the outside next to the hinge. Not the top. How incredibly clueless.
I just bought a pair of aviators from the official ray ban website custom made, however I looked at other custom unboxing vids and they seem to come with a totally different package then what mine came in, also the sticker on the gray box is missing, instead i got a sheet of paper listing all the details. As for the glasses they seem to me to be legit nothing is out of place but im not sure. Pls help
I guess if you brought it directly from the official site it must be original no need to worry
My ray bans have a rb on one of the sides is that a good thing or bad thing?
The sunglass Hut ray bans are heavier because they use glass lenses where as the fake ones are plastic - I work for Luxottica 😎
Hey so actually the fakes did have glass lenses (I checked afterwords) however the metal frames were complete Trash felt like the cheeper metal ever. Where the real ones felt very strange and substantial.
Also it’s really cool that you work for Luxottica! But my question is are you guys even trying to stop fakes? Because about 80% of everything being sold on eBay is fake these days..
Shade Review unfortunately there isn’t really anything being done to stop it. It’s really up to eBay to stop all the counterfeit products. I recently bought some fake beats headphones on eBay. It pretty much turned me off from getting anything else on eBay.
If you aren't a moron you'd just get polycarb lenses anyway. Mine are prescription.
Ballsack You can’t get authentic prescription Ray-Ban lenses in glass, only polycarbonate or high-index
Just spit the truth they cost 30$ to make 😂
I bought my remixes right off the Ray Ban website. My box didn't have a sticker on it
Yes you are right the remixes are different they don’t have the sticker because they are completely custom. One of my remixes even came in a completely different box it was more similar to persol then ray ban. But yes you are definitely right about that!
No stickers on the boxes for aviators or wayfarers when brought direct.
I bought the exact same glasses..all good..except inside you don't say "Rayban made in Italy CE" and I bought it from an optical shop so are they fake? Because I was told that after 2015 they stopped posting internally.
I just got scammed! But I knew it right away and I got here to make sure I was right!
Thanks for this info!
I would be more concerned with condition of the box, proper labeling, now holographic sticker featured on many original non counterfeits (even though those have been copied as well), fit and finish of the product, tells like plastic hinges, raised or flat logos, etc. Luxotica on the Manual would be as I think they only did that for a short time and don't anymore (many brands of glasses/sunglasses are made by Luxotica). Missing "Made in Italy" or "Made in (Anywhere)" is a tell if it is missing.
Cleaning cloth folded over just a little would not be a tell as that could have been jostled in shipping or poorly stored.
Can you do a top affordable sunglasses video? Maybe $100 and less? Thanks
Great video idea!
Kirkland's definitely. Same factory. $20-40
Interesting that with exception of the logos the fake one looks to have better finish than the real one.
i got a original pair of rayban p glasses and the rayban decal is pealing off i don't know why?
"Real Ray Ban" cost $15 to make but retails at $150 "Fake Ray Ban" cost $20 to make but retails $54. Which is the real fake? Are we also comparing the quality of the manual and stickers?
Couldn't agree more. I'm so glad I bought my fake Ray-Bans when they were $30. He was more concerned about stickers and manuals you never use or wear on your face ,than a millimeter hidden behind the ear and letters you need a microscope to read.
This is the comment I was looking for
You can feel the difference in build quality and quality of materials. Fake Ray Bans feel like shitty gas station sunglasses and until you've owned a pair of authentic Ray Bans you can't possibly comprehend the difference. Not to mention fake sunglasses don't have any regulation on the lenses they use so you can be damaging your eyes and not even realizing it with a junk fake pair just because you're a cheap skate. It's much more than a box or sticker. Quit being an idiot.
As anyone with half a brain cell knows the main difference is in the quality of the lenses, materials and construction, and their ability to give you a ‘crystal clear’ image whilst protecting your eyes at the same time. Chinese rip-offs won’t give you quality glass or construction. As the old adage goes, you only get what you pay for.
@@56GumballThe Rayban company has factories in China as well.
Not all the points are correct Rayban now produced in china. Quality might vary more than what you have use to. Specially for metal frames. Also rayban produce different size cases and frame arms.
They are produced in italy by luxotica, who ownes sunglass hut as well.
@@mikegrant8031 I just buy them directly from a official ray-ban outlet if they don't say the are made by Luxottica they're not real funny fact Luxottica make at least 75% of sunglasses frames in the world but don't usually indicate this unless you buy designer glasses
It’s true that some Ray-Bans are made in China. Go to Sunglass Hut and start looking at pairs on the shelf. You’ll find some of the metal frames labeled “Made in China”.
Is possible not to have description "ray ban made in italy" on the upper bridge? I both them on Zalando without mentioned description.
Hej Janosik mam ten sam problem okulary ray ban classic zakupione na zalando w tym roku nie posiadaja grawerunku na zewnetrznej stronie mostka, mają tez trochę inny ksztalt od avitorow kupionych w innym autoryzowanym sklepie, i mają grubsze logo ray ban na szkle. Teraz sie zastanawiam i szukam informacji czy to normalne ze są takie różnice? mógłbyś napisać czy dowiedziałeś sie czegoś wiecej?
sabes alguna manera concreta de como identificar los falsos de los originales??? Compré unos modelo aviador y tienen todo lo que dices solo que me contaron $1800 y en liverpool están ahorita en oferta en $2300 los veo igual pero no los he comparado físicamente con unos que me conste que son originales he visto muchos videos de RUclips pero ninguno dice concretamente como identificar los originales
Hi Shade, very nice video, I just purchased a pair of Ray-Ban of this same model so I was glad to learn about how the fake looks like. I can now confirm mine are original!I have a critic though, that in sunglasses lenses are the most important elements, and they were not mentioned at all. Me and some people might be interested in knowing about a difference in lenses quality, vision, resistance, eyes tiredness after some time you wear both of them. This part might be useful as well to help those people that buy a fake being aware that they are fake (seems strange but u fortunately there are such people), just interested in showing up they have Ray-Ban, that it's a status symbol. I would be personally courious to know as I would be very surprised and disappointed if at the end there is no difference in lenses between a fake and a real. There are lot of people that don't care about brands at all, then if lenses are good enough, why not to buy some that look like original from far?
You are grasping for straws if you're wanting him to talk about how his eyes feel after wearing sunglasses lol.
Yeah, the lenses are the most important part. If the lens is the same, I don't care if they are fake. But they most probably are not. Just having used regular cheap sunglasses, you can't see through them like you can from quality sunglasses. People who have never owned expensive glasses don't know this. That's why I buy the expensive ones, and to be sure the UV protective is real and active.
I sell raybans and a lot of cases are now thin and some thicker, so that one is not a way to spot fakes.
I have many expensive Ray-Bans and cases are so different, some are thinner, some thicker, several years back they were very different than my latest ones from a month ago.
Exactly , I got two aviators and one wayfarer in which one aviator is like 25 years old , yes exotic ! It's case is really thick and strong but the latest one (3year) old one got comparatively thinner cover , also it's quality has dropped a lot
Does the 2p and 3p on the temples same uv protection?
Would be useful to have some definitive information - weights rather than "just a little lighter". Aren't the "fake" pair just old stock?
No they are clearly horrible fakes lol
Awesome video, sometimes I will get really used glasses (mostly Persol) from amazon but never fake.
Ya use is actually a better bet that they are real because fakes ones will just fall apart.
Thanks for this video. I bought online a rayban (not cheap) and they're very close to the original ones: they even weight the same and almost all the spots are like the original, only can small differences by comparing one to one with an original 3025. The case of the fakes do looks very diferente to the authentic ones. But the spots that anyone can spot without having an original ones to compare are 1) a macro photo of the "rayban" in the left glass. They look the same at simple view but a high quality macro photo shows that the fake ones have black spots inside the white letters menwhile authentic ones have a completely fill letters with the white impression. 2) the "RB" in the nosepads of the fake ones look exactly like the ones you show here, a completely different typography and very roughly engraved meanwhile the authentic ones have a very fine engraved RB.
I have recently purchased Ray-Ban Aviators sunglasses that are XL, on the left arm it says "Ray Ban RB3026 AVIATOR FLAT Metal 001/51 62□14 2N" from what I see on the internet it needs to say "LARGE" not "Flat".
Which got me skeptical.
The store claims to be a Ray-Ban resellers and has a whole Ray-Ban display, but I never found the model with the same colors online.
Any experts that can tell me if they are Counterfeit?
If only they had Deuteranomaly color correction lenses that were also polarized.
Aesthetics and distinguishing details aside, how's the UV light test on both of them? It would have been insightful to know whether the fake had UV protection or none at all, and whether the fake can give the Luxxotica-monopolized original Rayban a run for its money in case their UV protection is just as good. Not to condone pirates and copycats, but doing a function over form test would be a more thorough review, than just nitpicking the tiny details.
thank you for actually knowing what you're talking about!!!
Exactly!
I tried to watch your video on that...couldn’t find it. 🤔
I did a UV test off camera and the REAL ones passed it with 100% coverage from UVA and UVB rays but the fakes were only 90% coverage.
This confirms that the fakes can BURN YOUR EYES and make you go blind. Because they are illegal they don't have to meet any standards set by the US or EURO government.
Exactly.
This is an excellent video with great tips. I used all of them to help me verify the authenticity of each pair of aviators in my Ray-Ban collection. Thank-you for sharing this.
on the authentic case, the inside velvety padding will be stamped with 'case made in china'. you'll need a flashlight to see that. not sure if the fake will have the same stamping.
Luxottica have factories in china. And that is where they make their ray bans
Mine are made in Italy. Do your research mate.
the ebay box looks like something a crackhead would try to sell me in NY
Haha yup
I bought a pair of ray ban aviators from sunglass hut back in the 80's and they were exactly like your Ebay sunglasses
But I’m sure your quality was better. Also yours would say BL Ray Ban
The B&L Ray Bans you bought in the 80's ARE NOTHING like the current production Lux Ray Bans or the many counterfeits for that matter. How incredibly clueless.
Hi shade, I have just acquired a pair of vintage Ray ban driving series chromax T-5R , I have researched them and understand they are very rare being given out in the early 90s by Volvo I have had them verified as genuine , my question is can you give me a rough valuation as I’d like to put them up on eBay , can I add they are in mint condition and look unworn complete with case and label many thanks
70 $ is not that cheap for knock off Ray bans. Ive got them cheaper.
Real Ray Bans are already cheap. Why do you need them cheaper?
Lol nice self exposing
$5 in Thailand
@@Sean-me4fv Ya ray bans are some of the cheepest deisigner sunglasses you can buy
Yeah.. We get those in India for like 10-12 dollars each
Please do a similar fake ebay vs genuine for Wayfarer and clubmaster models.
I will be definitely be doing more if this video dose well. Because I already owned this exact pair. But to make this video I had to buy a whole new pair so it gets expensive haha!
I recently bought a clubmaster for $55 from ebay. Now I will safely return it after seeing your video. Thanks a lot. I had one question, since you already have original one you are able to compare, how people will identify if they don't have original one to compare in first place?
Shade Review may I know why in sunglasshut or the certified resellers are more expensive than amazon almost double price?
@@pinakbhusanmohapatra8207 I also bought a clubmaster from Ebay. There were no signs of a knockoff as in this video. So I took them to sunglass hut and asked their opinion. They said it is the original. So, it seems that not all of raybans on Ebay are fake.
@@oksanakleo1176 I just got my sunglasses delivered. As shown in the video it turned out fake. Yes, if you bought from ebay at high price of around $100 then they may be original. But those $50-$80 are mostly fake. There is a video by youtube blogger Casey Neistat where he took the sunglasses bought from Amazon to Rayban store in newyork and store guys told it was original but he later found out those were fake. Now a days many people trying to fake Rayban. Best is to go to a store and compare your model with original thoroughly.
I got Ray-Ban 60s model mirror look with 12k gold frame ,anybody can tell whats the rate
My wife bought me a pair of Ray-Ban aviators for Xmas and they came in a brown leather snap case inside a silver cardboard Ray-Ban box inside of a black box with rayban in red on the top with ppwk , inside a brown cardboard box from Barbara at luxotica group in Italy,.....are they real?

Great video for anyone buying both a real and a fake pair and want to spot the difference.
Does anyone know where I can get a pair of fake ones I can't seem to find them on eBay
Never compromise in your eyewear...
12:50 a millimeter... lol 😂 it’s more like a centimetre at least
It’s millimeter he is correct on that. Fucken dumb ass.
@@nesco7615 no. No it's not.
So I’m looking at a pair on Poshmark that are brand new in the box of aviator shooter and it’s got pictures and on the side it’s got the ray band logo and it has the made in Italy do you guys think it’s safe?
If its too good to be true it probably is. On the other hand, if its preowned, odds are better its authentic.
If authenticity matters buy them from a legitimate online retailer or optical store.
The lens sticker on the fake pair is uncentered, that's obvious. I also think the lens itself is a slightly different shape, the fake ones look a little rounder.
😂😂 they scammed you on those fakes. They don’t even cost $15 on dhgate
Sunglasses can be a lot cheaper.. Luxottica deliberately keeps it expensive..you pay extra for brand names basically
Its their right, they bought the company (Person, Rayban, Oakley) they invested big money to buy the company its business!
@@henrypido3152 No it's not, they inflate prizes on a monopoly. Free market rules are against such behaviour. Now these are sunglasses, there are people who need glasses which prices are also inflated by the same company on the same monopoly. Fair trade? Healthy competition? Or being a predator on the consumer from behind a smokescreen?
@@ShannaNL Lmfao your so slow in understanding..Answer this question How do luxotica have the power to have monopoly on the prize of sunglass? The answer is THEY BOUGHT raybans, they bought oakley etc..In simple words THEY INVEST.
@@henrypido3152 And there are laws in all developed countries against monopolization. Luxottica has proven already with their +400% prices that they doing exactly what's agains the free market. If you don't know that, develop yourself with some education instead of dwelling in your tunnelvision.
@@ShannaNL Lol... Fuck the law! hahaha thats the biggest joke of the century. If theres a law you must be the first one to report luxottica.
fantastic, now there is someone starting admire fake products.
I spoke to a very experienced sunglasses hut salesman here here in Turkey. He says that if it doesn't say made in Italy on the top bridge, it doesn't mean that the sunglasses are fake. He says that it means that the sunglasses without it are made in Luxxotica's China factory and they are also genuine. I checked the sunglasses in the top dealers in Turkey and non of them sell glasses with made in Italy print on the top bridge. Only the aviators in Sunglasses Hut has the made in Italy print. Can someone please clarify this? I am really confused about this.
You're right. Certain models like Clubmaster generally don't have the “made in Italy“ signature.
I got a pair of Ray Ban at Nordstrom and it did not engrave Ray ban on the top bridge
