Four Ways To Pick Out Imitation Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses have been about since the 50's. To call them favored is an understatement. Flip the pages of an entertainment magazine and probabilities are there will be 1 photo of a celeb with two Ray-Ban Wayfarers on.
But being an iconic eye-wear model which is arguably the best-selling sun-glass model ever, has one serious downside - the presence of numerous fakes.
Fake Ray Ban Wanderer models are everywhere, on the internet as well as at your friendly neighborhood mall. Fakes are getting harder to recognize as many come quite close aesthetically to the originals. But using fakes may lead to damages to your precious eyes in the longer term because fake Ray-Ban Wayfarers lack the original's technology.
Fortuitously there remain a few ways you can spot a fake.
The Price
This can seem a bit too plain but you are not going to find a brand new pair of real Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses for $30 anywhere. Even the Junior Wanderer models costs more than that. Nonetheless because a pair of Ray Bans cost more than $100, does not necessarily imply it is legitimate. It could be just some sneaky seller trying to improve his margins by hiking up the price to deceive naive purchasers.
New Owners
Not a great deal of realize this but Bausch & Lomb sold the Ray Ban brand to Milan based Luxottica in 1999. So models made after that date should have the text "100% UV Protection - Ray Ban - Sunglasses By Luxottica" imprinted on the seal on the case. Any model post 1999 which has "Made in USA", "BL" or "Bausch & Lomb" printed on it is a sure fake.
Some fakes get all of the detectable prints correct but still have the initials BL etched on the lens. Undoubtedly because they did not need to waste the lenses. Originals will have the initials "RB" etched on the corner of the left lens.
Inconsistent Model Number
Wanderers come in several models and each model has a model code. As an example, RB2140 and RB2132, which represent the first Wanderer model and the new Wayfarer model respectively. Occasionally, the fake sunglasses do not display the correct model number on the inside of the churches. So be certain to check this out when you purchase a pair of Wayfarers.
Logo On The Outside Temple
Fake Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses also have the Ray Ban logo on the outside of the churches like the originals. But on better investigation, you will notice the fakes have the logos glued on while the brand on original Wayfarer style sunglasses are really part of the temple.
In summary,
- Wayfarer Ray-Ban sunglasses are one of the most copied styles in existence
- Just because the price of a pair of Wayfarers is high does not necessarily mean it is authentic
- A dead giveaway that a pair Wayfarer sunglasses is fake is the ridiculously low price
