How to Spot Fake Rayban Aviator Sunglasses (highest grade fake RB 3025) 

if you are pilot wearing $10 glasses they think it was authentic but if you are bus driver wearing the real one they will think it was a fake..

Great video. I have a number of Aviator models in different frame designs and glass colours. Also a good way to spot a fake is to just wear it. As you stated, the fake ones doesnt fit comfortably right away. The coloring of the lenses is also easy to notice. I have a gunmetal frame with green/grey lenses and compared to the fake ones you review here, the lense has a deeper coloring, almost black. However it is still more comfortable to the eye when you wear them. Fake ones tends to be either too dark or too light when worn. Thanks again!

There is usually a little watermark on the left lens, that says RB. It is scratched on it, and you can only slightly see it. If that is there, they are real. They are on the middle to the far left of the lens.

Cheers, some scumbag on eBay sent me a fake pair, I reported it and made a case using info from this video and got refunded within a few hours! Excellent work keep it up!

Haha, I buy all my Ray Bans from an authorised (physical) store in Italy. And you know what? The boxes open from both sides. You may have gotten that part wrong (generalised). But the rest of it sounds about right, so maybe the newer ones are like that. My aviators are quite old now, although still RB-3025 code. I know your video is 4 years old but it is still helpful for many people my friend.

No such thing as high quality glasses because they're all made by the same company, Luxotica

Ray ban used to be an American owned company. But, it is under control by an Italian company. The glasses were make in Italy and licensing manufacturers in China. In US, you can buy Ray-ban that were make in either Italy or China. Most people prefer those that were made in Italy. But, those glasses that were made in China were not fake.

Thanks for this very in depth video dude, concluded that I bought real ones!

As you say, they are extremely difficult to tell apart, so I'm quite happy wearing my Fake sun glasses and no one has ever asked me if they were genuine, neither have they ever asked me if my Rolex is genuine, which it isn't:)

ray ban was originally founded by American company B&L, later sold to Italian company Luxottica...though the cost price is low..the shades and frames are very expensive...its monopoly.

Best video I have found on this subject

Thanks a lot. I was almost purchasing a fake one until I saw your video. Where did you buy the original one?

it's night here, i got up and checked my aviators which i bought 2 yrs ago online, i got worried, thankfully they're original

the gold one's you have their I got a pair for my bestfriend. I didn't know he wanted this style of rayban. . and when I gave them to my friend for a friendship gift. .. he told me that these were the exact one's he wanted to purchase. .someday? him being 6 5" they look perfect.... raybans are the most popular sunglasses in the world. can't wait for my rayban black and gold RB 3016 club masters to come in that I ordered. ..of course I made sure they are authentic from authorized dealer. .as well as sunglasses hut. . ( I don't trust others)

What does it matter if those "authentic" glasses only cost Luxxotica 30$ to make.. and not even in a sweat shop condition. People are stupid selling the idea that expensive GLASSES are worth the money.

They faked pretty good. You just help the bad guys for their marketing. Good job there! And you just told me the good guys RayBaned me $200 USD each time I buy their products.

Did they charge the same price as a real one?

I bought one pair (aviator but not polarise ) from Myer store in Sydney last week and to compare the video I got real one with the case what you said is fake. They said this type of case not fake in any way which is suitable for my ones.

The original 3025 are in brown or black case?

*ANYTIME YOU GET A FAKE, SEND IT BACK, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY FROM A REPUTABLE SELLER...YOU SIMPLY NEED TO LOOK AROUND*

So.. where do I get those high grade fake RB Aviators?

Okay let clear that out the only differences are that the "real" ones are created in a Luxottica factory and the other ones aren't they are probably made from the same materials and may even be the same quality, its just that Luxottica has bought most of the popular Eyewear brands or is actually designing their products. If you ask me I'd prefer the 30$ ones to the 200$ ones. :) (I wear ones created by a different company that isn't owned by Luxottica because I wan't to wear original glasses not a knock off, but I still don't want to spend all my money on a overpriced pair of sunglasses :) )

So I got two pairs of real ray bans from a yard sale yesterday in perfect condition for 10$ each, they're defiantly real, also my fiance got some name brand outfits with the tag still on them they their grandchildren never wore (seasonal clothing) So I think I won pretty hard. My opinion on real vs fake: It absolutely does not matter especially if the fakes are just as high quality, I'm very glad and lucky to of gotten two real pairs for so cheap but I would never spend a bunch of money on sunglasses

The shape is different because you are comparing a pair of Cockpits to a pair of Aviators. The Cockpits have a much more narrow lens, but similar style.

And u do get model no. In embossed On the nose frame In the original one

Who gives a fuck if they are fake? They are exactly the same. You just paying more to luxotica brand.

If the fakes are as good as the genuine then I'd be more than happy to buy the fake for what they're actually worth.

bhai Hindi mai bol na araam se kya dikkat hai?? copied fake English and super duper fake accent se bohot achchi lagegi aur apni baat bhi achche se convey kar paega!! besides, You should take pride in your mother tounge, whatever it be!!

Luxxotica has two factories in China, no wonder the replicas are good.

actual video starts at 9.29 before that is everything else except sunglasses.

When a brand tries to rip off your money, pirate products are always out there to help you.

Hi guys In my opinion as optician, there is no real and fake ray-ban except those who are made in underground in asia. Since luxottica has bought ray ban brand from b&l, they expanded their manufacturing to China, India, United States and Brasil The Group operates in China since 1998. There are also first, second and third category in some brands.

Nice observations. Also, seems to me people think that when you buy fakes you are paying half the price or something like it... Not so, I've seen fakes being sold for $170 and up and this is the MAIN reason why one would care to be able to spot a fake. If you know you want to buy a fake and pay a decent price for it, then good for you but if the seller misleads you and tells you they are real when they are fakes and you paid hundreds of dollars then you didn't do your homework.

I'd buy the knockoffs for $10 over the name brand any day...It will look good with my $5 Rolex.

Kyn american accent try kar rahe bhai Apna wala hi bolo na, aap american nahi ho

6 years ago, I have realized the $20 sunglasses from Walmart give me more eye comfort than those $100+ branded sunglasses I have bought at boutique stores.

Thanks, this video is very helpful. While the differences are so minor, you have really pointed-out what the tiny differences are. And it is really important to know, as best you can, that you are spending your hard-earned cash on something that is genuine, especially when it comes to designer wear. So, cheers Honey; your video has helped me to ensure (as far as possible), that I am getting what I paid for. I guess that the only downside is, that you have to buy a good fake pair of glasses in order to conduct a good assessment of the 'genuine' pair. Thanks 😃

Wouldn't it make more sense just to buy the genuine ones from a reputable dealer in the first place?

Where can I find the high quality fake raybans..... I could give a fuck about the name if its of similar quality at half the price.

technicaly all brands r fake , as all brands are made by luxotica .

As long as it is high quality fake and the price is right ,who cares. But the thing is no one will tell you it is a fake. They want to rip you more.

Ray-Ban and fake Ray-Bans are made by the same company Luxottica. They make 95% of all glass and sun glasses in the world. They own Ray Ban and many others.

Not 100% sure if the sunglasses are fake, those things on the logo sometimes happen (the B thing, sometimes is the R too) and the diference on the cases is because the bigger one is used on aviators size 62mm. Maybe just both cases are original.

I don't mind fake if the price is right, they both look identical.

You’re taking too long to explain each point that makes the viewer forget the differences !!!!

Watch at speed 1.25, thank me later!

so.....where can i get original looking fake glasses......

Since UVB & UVA, polarization protection and quality is most important to me, the differences you have pointed out are important. Love your attention to detail, thanks for taking the time to so this

I bought my Rayban Aviators from a store and they came with the "wayfarer" case.. so I wouldn't say that's a giveaway that they're fake

Lol bro if youre going to compare such distincts items you can atleast remember to try and get the same model items you totally confuse the items because youre wanting to compare them knowing they are different models lol. Duhhh you can easily tElL WhY ThEy DoNt LoOk AlIkE smh

and who owns all these brands??.....ans is LUXXOTICA

Ray Ban an American brand owned by the Italian company based in Italy the Luxottica which makes eyewear for everybody Gucci Tiffani Boss etc etc

a simple and Sure Test to know if its an Original Ray Ban from a fake is the etched letters BL on the top edge of the glass for each lens. If its only painted or that the BL initials are only found on one of the two lens.... then guaranteed it is fake. It also has a serial number etched on the shooter frame. I had my Ray Ban aviator for the past 20 years now and the gold frame has not even tarnished with all the sweat that I had throughout its everyday use for those 20 years!!! That was when RayBan was not yet bought by Luxxotica!!

Yep, pretty sure I bought fakes for 100. 🙄 now I only buy from Sunglass hut. Thanks for the video

How can i get a hold of those fakes? Where are they selling them

see, i appreciate the whole idea, but the way u r presenting it and the time u took to do it is very ridiculous !

whos checking...headphones or speakers at 5:18....i surely did..!!!

Very good discussion, but you didn't check for a polarized lens. It is easy to determine if a lens is polarized by holding two pairs of glasses up and looking at a light source through both lenses .if both lenses are polarized the light will not pass through unless the polarized lines are parallel. When you rotate one of the lenses causing the polarity lines to become more perpendicular, the light through the lenses will gradually darken until it becomes totally blacked out, when the polarity lines are at 90 degrees to one another. This process will not work unless both lenses are polarized

Comparing apples to oranges means nothing. One pair is polarized (Ray-Ban P), the other is not polarized (Ray-Ban). I don't think there are fake glasses on your table. What I see in your video is expensive glasses and cheap glasses. Same brand. Are you sure this is your real video or just another fake one?! LOL

both glasses are original they are different models.. you need to buy the exact same model so you can see the you do have original glasses

Luxxotica~ The John D. Rockefeller of the Sunglass industry.

This is a bummer! Thank you Behram Dienlyle for posting this video!

Why would anybody care? I bought my Ray-Ban aviators in a Ray-Ban store in 1986. Nobody has ever been rude enough to wonder aloud if they’re ersatz, but that’s not even the point. They are not appreciating collectibles and over-concern about authenticity is for the childish, jealous, and petty. Frankly, I more often wear my cheapy MIB shades for anything more active outdoors than shopping and lunch. Because WHO CARES about microscopic low-value discrepancies. My daily-wear Hugo Boss frames alone cost way more than Ray-Bans. 🙄

Ray ban laser etched their initials into the opposite lenses of the logo typically crystal lenses will have it in the front of the lens and Polycarbonate lenses will have it on the inside.

ONLY BUY FAKE!!!!!!! Ray bans are marked up 300% and they are of similar quality to cheap ass Walmart garbage. Most glasses are lost or broken due to dropping. TIny quality variants are not worth the extra 150 dollars.

u wont notice differences unless u buy 1 fake and 1 genuine and compare them side by side

Thanks for the great video, people buy ray bans because you can wear them all day and your eyes don't hurt. Clearly higher quality optics cost more money than cheap sunglasses. And the thing I have come to notice from buying thousands of dollars of sunglasses is that ray ban aviators are 500-700$$ glasses they sale for 150-200$. The quality cannot be beat for less. They have such crisp lenses that you can see, so many sunglasses, especially plastic lens distort one eye differently than the other, and after a couple of hours makes your eyes tired from compensating for the distortion. They also, because of how crisp they are the dark g15 lens can block out midday sun at the beach and provide excellent contrast and depth but also provide good viewing during lower light later in the day, and cheap sunglasses cannot do that. Overall, you cannot come close to the quality for the money, and their is not one brand of glasses you can buy for less than real ray ban glass lens glasses for cheaper

When comparing the fake from the real, can you please put the word fake and real to the item considered so we can distinguish them favorably. Tnx.

That was a long as video..I didn't even get past the pauch.. I was like fuck it I'll buy whichever lol... Hopefully he doesn't make a fake Rolex video.

I bought my aviator on the official homepage, theres nothing you could do wrong

one more thing u haven't tell in genuine ray ban on one lens it has written RB only inside the lens just like crizal lens on the extreme side.so plz check it out

it's all self preference. I am not ashamed of wearing a knock off. I am just smarter than to spend that kind of $$ lol Who is going to micro check your glasses or clothing? Only shallow and materialistic people.

Don't waste your money on Ray Bans. Get American Optical. They were issued to the military for years. They also went to the Moon on Apallo 11. Better qaulity at half the price.

It all fake. Maui jim is only company brand that isn't owned by lux. Japanese always does the best.

From what u say u require two set o aviators an original & an immitation , then what if both are immations ? Moreover , you don't know that ' bl ' on the older version & ' RB ' on there latest version is scratch embossed on the far outer part of the glasses . The best way to make sure u r getting an original is to pick it up from a Ray Ban show room . My openion is 90% of the Ray Ban in the Indian market are fake.

What does it matter? It's all Luxotica anyways. I'd rather have the fakes and not feel bad when I loose them when.

Can I just say that you are wrong about the case, both cases are real they are different because the polarised one is the case for polarised aviators and the normal one is the case for normal ones, the case I know the case is real because I have a case like that that came with my pair of Ray-Bans that I ORDERED off of THE Ray-Ban website.

Thank you for posting this. You actually spent money buying a fake one (or a real one) just so you can compare them. Thank you for that. I'm inspired to create my own real vs. fake on perfumes video. I'll do that now. :) keep it up!

Hell I'd buy either or both of them and NOT give a damn about the prices on them!! In fact, I already have!!!!

They both are original...u r making a mountain out of a mole.... don't make fake videos plzz...

Giá một cây kính RayBan sin mới về đến Việt Nam như hiện nay là bao nhiêu tiền USD

Oh my god...my Clubmasters are fake.

I felt annoyed watching the video, he's like this is original and this is not original. This has B and this not. Killed "this" than use Fake and Real 😤😠

presentation is too boring,i would buy a fake one rather then knowing the difference b/w real and fake through this video,too annoying.

If you want to know your rayban is fake or original one... Just trying to make a scratch right on the lens with coin... If your rayban get scratch..then you know what i mean ...

Like it makes any difference, lol. 30$ to make sold for 170 or 30$ to make sold for 200. Ehehehehehe.

Dumb video, not really talking about glass, he was more talking about what he'd observed. Damn

Well i bought 2 Ray Bans around Canal St NYC and as from today i still where them

I bought a pair of aviators from raybans.com and they dont have raybans or tbh on the lens so how else could I actually prove they are real? Tryi g to sell them but nobody believes me

Fake 15 dollars real Rayban 3,50 make a cuestion you still comparing the real and fakes

Original ones are embossed with the letters BL in the glasses. Rest are trash.Bosh& Lomb the co that manufacture rayban.

I saw a pair of used aviators in a 2nd hand store today but a few things made me walk away. First, the white "RayBan" printing on the right lens was too far away from the frame, maybe a full 5-6mm away from the metal frame. Secondly, there was no RB or BL etched into the lenses. The pair i saw were gold frame, non polarized G15 colored, glass lens, spring hinges. I want to look at them again but i just don't think they're real. Are there any real raybans without the laser etching? I have some old ass real ones and they all have BL, and every modern pair i've looked at has the RB on the lens.

i just got the auhentic rayban 3025. Btw, where can i buy the highest quality fakes ? any link ?

Still worth to buy the fake one can have many fake one's in one genuine price 😂😂😂😂

so it is wise then to purchase 2 ray bans a fake and real one to determine whether it is fake or not. the makers of the real one must put a control no on all their products and a no where we can verify the products being sold whether real or fake.

Check out AO General sunglasses. Just as much history, almost half the price.

Who cares about the box? It's whether the sunglasses give you any reason to believe if their fake.

not worth of watching the video for authenticity the guy doesn't have proper knowledge waste of time watching this video

luxottica making aviators in china which are cheaper made then italy a better choice is american optical aviators made in USA

I don't understand the reason for buying a fake one. Ray-Bans are not that expensive.
