I saw the film "How to Detect Fake Ray-Ban Wayfarers & Review" which made me laugh! The girl has 50.000 view's and is showing you how to tell if your wayfarers are fake, when her's isn't real at all! So i decided to make a movie, so that you can se for real, how to detect a REAL pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer 2140 (the 901 model in this example)

You all know about the box, and how it is supposed to look, but it's quite easy to fake that one as well. No recycle logo on the box! The same goes with the hard-cover for the glasses. NO RED interior and there has to be a rayban logo on the button.

So i will in this movie tell you how to tell, if your wayfarers are the real ones, the genuine ones!

Worth mentioning is that the text on the temple arms "Wayfarer ® Hand Made in Italy K CE" is also soooo damn easy to fake :-)

The full model name for the ones i have in this video is "RB 2140 901 50#22 3N" so it is the 50mm model

I am getting a pair of the white and black ones soon, so i will test out, if it is also possible to do the same with the multicolor models :-) But it works with the standard wayfarer 2140 901 model :-)

I payed 190 $ for mine, here in Denmark
by the way, this is the movie i was talking about

  • Your pair of ray ban are fake. You make a movie showing a fake ray ban. You have only see at "RB" in the left lens, is a láser engraving, but is not the original "RB" because the ""R" should not be closed, and the same for de "B"... So i recommend that the most important to check if a pair of Ray Ban is original still reminds the láser engraving. The new fakes alreafy come with laser engraving...

  • @fed1386

    get your facts right dude :-) This is exactly how the RB laser engraving in the lens should like :-) maybe the photo doesn't make a clear enough in 360p resolution

  • As an optician 4 over 25 yrs I have to say Nice Video! I see a tons bogus info...your vid is good. BUT there are plenty of good ebay sellers - honest ones selling authentic RBs at little profit. ebay is competitive. The only way to sell is with very little markup. They make about $10 profit, that's all. Now, if you see ebay RB's for less than $95 it's counterfeit. You can't sell RB 2140 for less and make a profit. And a 99% feedback by ebay standards - is TERRIBLE. Look for 99.5% or higher.

  • @lilybartbet

    Nice to hear you like it. eBay is a jungle of fake and genuine products, that's why i suggest that people buy from an official optician or so, so that they are sure not to be scammed. But good point about the pricing ! Of course the honest ones can sell them cheaper when not having to pay rent for a shop etc. but you have to watch out on eBay :-)

  • ha ha are you having a laugh? Where's the science behind this? How can you film through black acetate and then be able to have xray vision and see through the other arm?

  • @eltb82

    and i guess the science in this, is that if you hold op a colored filter in front of a camera, the camera will not be able to detect the stuff with the same color as the filter, that's why it's possible to see through one arm (the filter) and see what's in side the other arm :)

  • Can I just use a magnet?

  • What color lenses are those?

  • hey i just wanna ask...what if the types on the right arm are "WAYFARER Hand Made In Italy B CE" ? In your rayban is K CE....so is my mine original?

  • @xxigeekTechxx what isn't special about them? 

  • So it's a myth that the cardboard box for the Wayfarer needs to have a recycle tag on it to be real? Everywhere I've been looking says it needs to have one, but a pair I just ordered off Amazon has no recycling logo anywhere on the box.

    So are the boxes WITH recycle tags fake or is it not an accurate indicator?

  • RB2132 does not have metal bar in arm. I have verified at Sunglass Hut, check yourself other indicators in video are good. I have 40 pairs I'm selling on eBay for a highly respectable large corporate client, and I'm a highly legit Powerseller, I think I'm selling them below cost, but I have no idea what the wholesale cost is, I'm not giving them away, but you can't always say that if it's below a certain cost they aren't real (not sure if you said that in this video, but others have..

  • hello the new waifarer 2132 dosn't have that metal throught the arm like 2140 please make a rewiew if you can

  • You sure do be dropping yo glasses
