I know Im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Allan Lewis i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
My prescription Ray Bans that I bought from a Lens Crafters in Macy's do not have RayBan etched into the lens themselves. I have transition lenses on them, but now I'm afraid that they aren't official. Are my transition prescription glasses supposed to have that print on the lens?
Hello! Not usually for ophthalmic lenses (clear, not tinted). The lenses used may be of a different brand other than RayBan, but are still under the luxottica banner of lenses, so the quality is the same. However, the RayBan frame is more than likely authentic Ray-Ban if purchased through lenscrafters.
Be sure to confirm they are equipped with UV protection! Many fake branded sunglasses out there are do not include an UltraViolet blocker, which will result in a relaxing of the eyes, allowing harmful rays to pass through the lens and enter the eye, which can cause both short & long term damaging effects. This is why humans naturally squint in bright sunlight.
Hi I bought a pair of round metal glasses they look real and I’ve checked and they seem it too,only problem is there make a creaking sound is that normal and how can I fix it!
Hi Ryan! Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear about your frames. No, that isn't a normal issue to have on Ray-Ban frames. You could possibly try loosening the screws or applying a very small amount of WD-40 just at the squeaky parts. Hope this helps!
Hey! I have a pair of blaze wayfarer. They dont the metal in the temples. And they say the letter K on the right temple after made in italy. Is this genuine?
Hi Skye! Thanks for watching and reaching out! Authenticity is hard to pin point on just two characteristics so I recommend assessing the frame as a whole. There can be letters after the "Made in Italy" so that sounds normal.
@@sportrxeyewear thank you for replying. They look authentic and feel authentic. Im 99% positive they are. I think its just the lack of metal frame inside the temple that threw me as someone said all models have that. But i cant find much info anywhere on the rb4440 model 😊
Rob's got a pretty big dome so he rocks the 2132 RayBan new Wayfarer size 58 BUT you may require the 52 or 55 eyesize depending on fit! www.sportrx.com/ray-ban-rb2132-new-wayfarer-58-eyesize.html
I had been wanting a pair of Olympian’s, went to sunglasses hut and found a gold pair of olympian 2,s they say made in Italy so I think I got the real thing, they also have numbers on inside of temple arms. Thanks great video. Subscribed.
How about you talk about the monopoly on sunglasses.... aka Luxotica...they also saved Ray Ban back in the day. But Luxotica is the culprit for high prices
It's Essilor Luxotica now, so one company that makes lenses, frames, owns retail outlets, online outlets (like eyebuydirect), eyecare insurance, basically every step of the process.
My replicas even has all the logos and stickers, tags, made in italy ,code numbers etc, for $20.00 I can't complain about them and my aviators looks good on me.
Only problem, your replicas aren't actually blocking the UVs and at the same time the dark lenses dilate your pupils and damage your eyes. But other than that, cool!!!
Yep, haha. Good to know though. "They're getting really good at making fake Ray bans", that's all I need to know. These products are rarely worth the price these companies charge. You're paying for brand most of the time. Plus I've bought 'fakes' that have come from the same factory or a factory that imitates almost like for like the real thing, some times the material is just as good. I bought a lens filter for three quarters the price from a Chinese seller and compared it to my friends genuine filter and it worked and was packaged exactly the same.
The people who are getting scammed are the ones buying sunglasses at these ridiculously high prices just to say to their friends "Look I have real Ray Bans" 🤣. Same goes for clothes,shoes,jewlery...etc. You're wasting your money kids. BTW I learned absolutely nothing to actually determine fakes in this video.
You got the cheap examples. I have genuine rayban wayfarer and I could not tell the difference between a pair I bought online . They weren’t sold as fakes, they were just sold. As rayban type sunglasses . Metal hinges in the corner smooth strong opening. And the classic 7 tilt, I must say, if I made these I’d be very bothered about replicas being made. Lenses glass, the whole thing. I had to put a sticker in my real case just so we don’t get them mixed up lol. The replica Industry is huge
@@retrogaminggenesis6102 have a look at DHgate . The pictures have all logos removed . I didn’t know this then. I bought them because I liked the shape. Black and Tortoise brown are the best. So when they arrived I was completely shocked. Good luck.
Just bought some fake Ray Bans outdoorsman 2. They look so damn original with all the markings and everything. The letters on the frame look so good that you can not tell if they’re fake or not. However, when you hold them in your hands, you can feel the difference. The box is fake af and everything else looks fake. My whole idea was to replace the lenses for some original RB lenses,because i love the black frame on 62mm and RB doesn’t make them on black, only on 58. Don’t know if they fit or not, but i’ll try to do some Frankenstein RB 😂
If you're not buying a new pair, it can be extremely difficult to notice the differences. I suggest to try to scratch all the white letters with your fingernails, in a fake pair the letters will disappear almost instantly.
my real pair that ive had for years the white lettering as all scratched off over time. i just got a pair of good fakes and the white letters will not scratch off with my fingernail
Justamente en estos días estuve a punto de comprar en una óptica unos Ray Ban Clubmaster "originales". En este video, justo encontre el codigo que se ven en los lentes, y coincide con los falsos. Gracias por las especificaciones. Me salve de comprar los falsos.
fake ones are obvious. the question is how do you spot a replica, almost a clone. how to spot fake expensive ones that are not authentic? trust me there are good lenses on fake frames!
Is almost like if they trying to convince themselves lol dude all this video doe is make me realize I can pay for good glasses for a good price since all the say is how they did a good job immitation
i find the high dollar sunglasses not much or no better optically than many of the lower priced ones. i do find that the high dollar names put more attention into the frames, especially the hinges.
I had recently ordered 2 pairs from the Ray-Ban site and both pairs seemed used. They had fingerprints and micro scratches on the frames. I returned them because I would not pay for used glasses. I was not happy, and I don't trust Ray-Ban anymore. I then tried Amazon as the seller and they were the worst!
I recently bought on Offerup a pair of supposed Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classic sunglasses for 60 bucks, new with the box, and in the listing, it showed a receipt of proof of purchase from Sunglass Hut. What was supposed to be my first experience in owning Ray-Ban sunglasses, turned out to be my first taste of owning Fake-Ban's 😅😅. After I received them, it dawned on me the possibility that they were counterfeit, after all, the price was too good to be true. After watching this video, it confirmed my suspicion. But the quality of the counterfeit is top-notch, so is very hard to tell if they are fake, especially for a noob like me.
Guess i have an old Ray Ban cuz it doesn't have made in Italy on the top Edit : The optics is damn good , I've dropped of and it's scratched to hell on the front face but when i put it on it's clear, Tip : Get it with glass lens it'll hol up scratched very well and just feels crisp to the eyes as like cold to the eyes than the other materials
Hi. Can you pelase tell me what 'Ray Ban LR' means ? I have found a pair of brown 'Ray Ban L.A. lenses for sale, but i can't find any information on the net. Thanks in advance.
I'm not convinced. I have a nice pair of fakes with nice lenses. I had them tested and they are 100% UV protected. Only cost me $25 from Cina. I'm considering buying a couple more pairs from the same seller. I just don't feel like it's worth an additional $150 to know that they are "authentic".
Well, at least you go into it knowingly, eh? I would recommend having all of them checked for UV protection rather than just trusting the pair you've tested already.
The most difficult aviators to replicate are the ones with light gradient lenses. They have everything cloned perfectly, however when you test the lenses for UV protection you will find that they won't pass a simple UV test using a hand held UV meter. A significant amount of UV pass thru the lenses. For this reason I won't take a chance with this type of lens from sources on eBay or other 3rd party sellers. I will always buy direct from the source or an authorized dealer for these type of lenses. If you can find a pair of clones that are UV protected then more power to you. Most likely in standard or flash lenses but in my experience the gradient lenses always fail a UV protection test.
Don't forget about reliable quality and proprietary lens techs. If they are not made by a reliable source, how can you be sure they are going to protect your eyes properly? If they don't have UV protection (and that means more than a little sticker or sign that says "100% UV resistant!") then you would be doing more damage to your eyes than nothing at all because the darker lenses dilate your pupil allowing that much more UV through. It's definitely about more than just a name brand!
Just recently purchase RB3611 and RB4202 from Rayban Australia. The items where shipped from China? Will I get worried that I have counterfeit once? They came out with the boxes same with the fake on the video. But the codes and every details match the glasses.
Hello! Ray-Ban manufactures in both Italy and China so that is not cause for concern! It sounds like you purchased directly from the Ray-Ban Australia site which in that case, there is no need to question authenticity :)
Hey are Ray Ban that are made in China fake or real? It has all the real qualities like weight of the lens the serial numbers the arms everything but it says made in China not Italy. Does that mean they're fake?
Hi Jordan! Ray-Ban manufactures in both Italy and China so authentic styles will reflect one of those two countries. Yours sounds like the real deal :)
Bought several pairs in the Philippines at a Unitop mall. Of course I knew they couldn't be real. As they were only 45 pesos, which is under 1 dollar. But still fun to pick up just to give my friends' hopes up when I handed them out.
Hi, again. Can you please tell me what Ray Ban lenses 1/30-10K 60 means ? I have just bought a pair of RB3025 for 35€, they have BL on center of the lenses. Did i make a good deal ? They are like new. Thanks in advance.
Hi, i bought my clubmaster online. On right arm there is no “made in italy”. Its just a ray ban logo followed by “T” and CE symbol. Based on your experience, does mine is fake one? Thank you
i got prescription ray ban eyeglasses, to be honest they felt really thin and cheap flimsy, so i returned them straight away, i hope i can get my refund. really bad. ill be ordering from the official website for sure, no dealers
Licensed retailers, like SportRx, provide authentic RayBan items but it's good to check the return policy just in case! There are also many authentic RB's made with different materials that may feel 'flimsy' to some if the picture that helped make the decision to purchase gave the impression that the product is heavier or denser than what was received. Always a good idea to try on first before purchase if one can!
Give our a call Joe! While you may be out of range for RayBan's authentic labs, SportRx labs may be able to step in and accommodate your prescription to the RayBan frame of your choosing! 888.831.5817
Hello, can you tell me about the small logo on the left lens (RB) , which side of the lens should be engraved on, inside or outside? Thanks in advance!
I bought clubmasters in 55mm at an authorized dealer but they didnt have the temple size on the nose bridge yet it did have it on one of the sides is this common in authentic clubmasters
Hey Ricardo! Yes, totally normal. The location of the model, color, and sizing can vary by style. For a Clubmaster, the temple length should be listed on the inner temple so yours sounds perfect!
Fake it til you make it! Be careful though as some Fake brand models do not provide adequate (or any) UV protection. This means your eyes will relax behind the lens tint allowing the harsh rays to potentially cause damage in the form of Cataracts or Photokeratitis . Stay safe out there! 😎
Hi Chito! Yes, Ray-Ban prescription glasses do come with a different case than the sunglasses. Glasses come with a hard clamshell case while the sunglasses come with the softer button closure case.
I just bought the Ray-Ban’s Erica for a family member from Sunglass hut in Macy’s website They said that they’re made in Thailand I didn’t know they were made in Thailand I thought it was Italy
I know only one thing even it's $5 pair from convenience store it definitely will protect you eyes from UV. This price tag all about quality of the parts and advertisement costs.
I just ordered & received a Ray-Ban Clubmaster RB3016 in 51mm lenses. The weight & quality looks & feels legit, but it has a vintage-looking nose pads. Kind of like a Himalayan pink salt color looking nose pads. I ordered it from Macy’s store in person with a dealer & they had it shipped to my house. It does not have clear nosepads. So are mine fake? It was shipped from Macy’s wear house in Georgia, U.S. They costed me $230.
Hi! More than likely they are not fake, but a local optician should be able to confirm their authenticity, plus you can easily replace the nose pads for a different set at most optical shops.
@@sportrxeyewear Thank you! I actually do prefer the vintage-looking nose pads rather than the clear ones. I can still see the “RB” in the vintage-looking nose pads on my glasses.
Hi Samantha! That's a normal feature on Ray-Ban eyeglasses. Those lenses are meant to be replaced with prescription lenses so that's why you're seeing the black logo on the lens!
Hi! Need your help! Bought Highstreet in one of approved by Ray Ban stores in my country, but I have thoughts that this is fake. Maybe you can tell me if it's possible that hinge in original glasses could be extremely tight, so I just scared to move temple of glasses. Also the cloth wasnt usual for Ray Ban, it wasn't gray with accurate logo, it was bigger and had different color. Are there different variants of cloth or it is always the same?
Hi Alice! If you purchased from an authorized dealer, you will have authentic Ray-Bans. It is a bit odd that the hinges are so tight that you find it concerning so I would suggest reaching out to the retailer for an adjustment. As for the cloth, it may have changed over the years and is easily reproduced so I wouldn't recommend judging the authenticity of your frames on the cloth. Hope this helps!
I work at a return center for a different company and I can tell you that we don’t check all products that are returned for authenticity so anyone can return a fake product in place of the authentic one and then they are resold as new... I’ve also noticed they don’t check the authenticity at Macy’s locations when I returned a G-Shock watch... so there is that
I got mine from my optometrist I've been with for the last 10 years . Thank God. It's the same with watches . Omega fakes are really getting good. I hate fakes . I worked hard for my money. It took me a few years to save for my rolex. Now I someone can get a fake one in Hong Kong. Wtf .
First. Americans are BRAND people. Europeans are not. In Europe you buy things that are well made regardless of Brand. If the product is well made like these "fakes" then they are good. Americans feel that having a brand on them makes them feel richer or cooler... This is due to the great american marketing. They make you feel you have to have one. So in short. Buy well made fakes or anything except do not pay an extra $800 just for the Brand. And second; I know that some companies have their "near perfect" replica products manufactured by factories in China to which they print their brands on and are sold to the public. (This was disclosed at a world convention of high end brands) - I say If the copies are that good they are worth the price. Just make sure it is a replica or a real one.
Hi Vitosky! Thanks for sharing your feedback! You're right that there are some replicas that visually look very similar. Unfortunately, unless you go authentic, you risk quality and 100% UV protection. Things to keep in mind when you're wanting to protect your vision!
I have fake ones that i got from mexico and im glad i got them rather than the real ones they look amazing feel amzing have the logo and were only 15 dollars
Hi! I’ve had 2 pairs of RB3293 67mm aviators. My current pair says they’re made in China, the cases are entirely different than yours in shape and material. My cases have a matted logo along with a matted, more smoother finish for the case itself. This is an older model, I bought my first pair in 2009 and my second in 2016 and the latter pair took me calling all around the country trying to find them! I am buying some on eBay, and what I’m looking at is identical to my own pair…BUT…the case looks like your “authentic case” pictured in the video. My big question is to ask you how I can find these second hand, maybe what is the most trusted retailer of secondhand Ray Bans? If Ray Ban still sold them I wouldn’t be here :). If they made other comfortable glasses for people with giant domes, same. Thank you for the help!
Hello! We unfortunately don't know any authentic retailers for second hand RayBan frames as most are sold by private individuals online from sites like Ebay. You can sometimes find some old quality frames at local flea markets or swap meets as well.
@@sportrxeyewear Thank you. And another question is one of my of my Aviator, Evolve, both of its temple markings are chipping away. The right side is almost gone. The left side, half is left. I bought all of them at a legit Ray Ban store, department store mall. Is it authentic?
hey guys what about the different types of titanium round RB8147 913658 Ive see on different rayon sites many differences some of them saids ray ban titanium c e other ray ban titanium made in Japan ce and other ray ban titanium made in Japan n ce what's the difference between??
HI! RayBan is owned by Luxottica, who sources and manufactures the majority of their frame & lens components in both Italy and China. However, the quality and authenticity of their products has remained consistent.
Just got a pair of aviators (polarized) they are the all black. I saw a different video that said real ones say “made in Italy” on the top bridge but mine don’t say that. Is this normal?
