Counterfeit identification help: Tom Ford Henry Sunglasses

The last time I purchased Bond sunglasses, I bought a pair of Persol online for my honeymoon from an online retailer. Well, this morning I picked up a pair of Tom Ford Henry's off of the Facebook Marketplace....for $60. I know that prices that good generally mean fake, but I've gotten some incredible deals before. The glasses are used but in excellent condition, the case on the other hand wasn't taken care of, and has the cleaning cloth. No box or paperwork. The seller was a younger man, maybe late 20's who said he received them as a gift and they weren't his style.
I paid attention to the fonts, serial number, spelling, etching, arm inlays, and I think it's legitimate. Let me know what you think

    They look genuine to me. Fakes have a very poor font size as well as a really lousy serial impression. Also, for Henrys in particular, they are completely straight as opposed to the slight curvature that the gen Henrys have across the face. Sounds like you got a great deal. -{

    Great news! Can you or anyone shed some light on the model numbers? I see Bond's in Spectre referenced as FT0248 and these are TF248.

    The 0 in any of the model numbers are for cataloging purposes only, because some garments as well as shoes share the same model on the manifest. The "0" is what distinguishes eyewear apart from Ready to Wear.
