Got a pair of Markos... authenticity question

readpaulbreadpaulb Cleveland, OhioPosts: 86MI6 Agent
Hi all,

Just received a pair of Markos and I'm really impressed with the packaging and design etc, but I do have some doubts about authenticity.

Can anyone upload a close up picture of the left temple inside and out? Everything seems to be okay but the serial number is what I'm questioning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Paul

EDIT: If someone can tell me what color the etching is on the left inside temple that seems to be my only concern at this point. My serial number is white!

    Thanks for the picture. That definitely matches mine but I was actually curious about the numbers on the temple further down whether or not those were white.

    Sorry, for reference this is the part I'm looking for a picture of:

    Everything about the glasses seems 100% authentic, but other models of Tom Ford sunglasses have different temples it appears so I wanted to see if that was just something with these Markos, or if I received fakes.

    As a Marko owner, all of these will apply in order to satisfy your glasses are authentic as the Marko have all the features mentioned, I have seen the replicated version and they are missing the mental plates that say "Tom Ford" on the end of the legs.

    I actually read that article and everything matches 100% except the etching as mine is white and that one is just etched clear. But they use a different model so I was hoping for a comparison. Everything else is there including the metal plates, proper packaging, etc.

    Thank you very much! Confirms that mine are real. Got a pair that was returned to Amazon for $117 so that turned out to be a phenomenal purchase.

    $117? Exceptional deal. {[]

    Mine are also off Amazon. A little bit more costly than yours, but still only the retail price of some Ray-Ban Aviators at the mall.

    I guess this means we should get some great deals on Bond 24 TF sunglasses in 2017-2018. :D
