Got these yesterday from a friend of a friend. Anyone know how to tell if they are real? The reason I'm wondering is because these Pit Boss color Root Beer are from $600-$700 on Ebay. The ones I got are really nice, they are definitely polarized and have great fit & finish but I paid half what they are selling for.

Ask your friend where he bought them...chances are if he bought them from a legitimate/authorized Oakley dealer, then they're legit; if purchased on fleaBay, chances are they're not legit. It never ceases to amaze me the ability of overseas vendors to outright get away with selling hot brand items at 1/10th the MSRP, and people actually buying them thinking they're getting a bargain.
 
They are fake. I am an avid Oakley collector. I have a pair of Authentic Pitboss I. The part number is wrong on the inner arm and the "screws" holding the plates should rivets. Another sign is if you fold the arms down there should be a raised "A" where the arm closes against the glasses on BOTH sides. One more sign is that the "SS" on the word PITBOSS on the inside of the arm will is not the same size or font as the "PITBO". Hope this helps. Sorry for the bad news.
