It doesn't appear to be, but that picture is terrible.

The colorway isn't on the database and there is no difference in the bottom and top of the frame, usually the splice frames have a huge contrast top to bottom.

it could be the 24K one, the base and the mirror is right for them

I'll say yes because there's a 50 percent chance I'm right.

like marcel said, looks like a black with a gold iridium but until u take a better pic, we wont be able to give u a straight answer. If u bought it in asia then theres a good chance it is a fake :-)

Ask for a better photo. Most of the time when you see a photo that bad they are fake (if its from eBay that is)

i'm trying to get a better pic or a sku # since the seller says it's authentic. it's from my local yahoo auction.

The only thing, didn't got every splice the oakley logo on the nosepiece?

No, the Oakley logo on the nosebridge is a variation thats all.

Dont risk buying fakes from such bad pictures and from a seller who obviously is selling fakes.

Ah, ok.

But back to the first "Splice" which is offered. They look like the Mac Kennseth, but the real one got the logo on the nosepiece, right?

I'll revise my smartassed opinion: They look fake. I wouldn't risk it.

i have to agree with marcel. all could be fake.
seller has not response or "unable" to response to all my queries on sku # & box etc.

Fake. There are no orbital gaskets, and no space between the flex couplers and the orbitals. Those are not Emerald Iridium lenses either...I wouldn't but any of his stuff if I were in your shoes.

Really? I would have erred on the side that it is real. I don't know how you would see the orbital intake ports from that angle anyway (but you -can- see the orbital gap in the picture), and the flex coupler looks normal to me.

Nonetheless, given the other stuff and the shady pic, it's still dicey.

ATTENTION DANNY: THE GUY ADMITS HE SELLS FAKES!!!!

I agree with EC, that Juliet does appear real. Question is, do you really want to hand over your hard earned money to a guy who deals in fakes? That pair of Juliets is readily available everywhere you look. The dude is desecrating the O by admittedly selling fake Splices, so buying from him is tantamount to giving the middle finger to Oakley in my EXPERT opinion! Drop this guy from your search and move on and deal with a legit seller. Let's not keep this thread going on and on.....

That degenerate isn't the only one selling fake Splice on eBay. Check out item # 250142124562. I e-mailed the seller telling him they were fake & received a belligerent reply that they were not, along with additional e-mails stating that he was told "by Oakley" that they were real. Yeah, right.
