Need Help Authenticating Oliver Peoples Airman

So, I bought a used pair of OP AIRMAN on a whim to wear as daily beaters but I'm having doubts on the originality of the frame. I checked it with a watchmaker loupe. Could it be a early frame maybe?
On the right temple tip there's printed "Frame Japan" while on the left one there is "TITANIUM"
On both temples there aren't any size markings, VFX logo nor the OP logo. I don't know if these prints wear off with time.
On the bridge the etched OP logo is present
On both lenses the VFX breathe mark is present.

James Bond: I tend to notice little things like that - whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette...
Tiffany Case: And which do you prefer?
James Bond: Well, as long as the collars and cuffs match...

I can only see out- of focus pics and wonder if anyone could properly identify them like that.
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

I have seen a lot of fake TF models, but never came across fake Airmans.
