Celebrity Ray Ban sunglass i.d. thread

I just purchased a 2140 but I am quite worried that it is a fake as I noticed a few differences from the pictures on the internet. I bought it from an online store in the UK who also has a physical store so it makes things even worse. It appears to be genuine but, as I said there are a few differences in the packaging

Images I am using to compare with
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Clothing/U...sses/Other/photos/a-275960936/p-121366097.htm

1) There is no recycling logo on the box, but the sticker is there (Image 2)

2) Instruction booklet doesnt appear to have a box for warranty stamp etc (Image 3). Mine also says Luxottica instead of Luxottica Group as in the picture.

3) Somehow there is a K between "Made in Italy" and "CE", whereas in Image 3, there seems to be none.

4) It doesnt come with a warranty card??

Can anyone shade some light on this please? Is it just different in the UK? Also there are two mini booklets introducing Ray-Ban products in the case.

Here are the photos you requested, please tell me if more is needed. I am sorry for the large sizes though, I thought imageshack would compress them.

Thanks for taking a look.
 
:D Good news =) They're genuine. Looking at the photos, and I've compared them with my 2 wayfarers which I know are definately genuine. All the temple writing is correct and the case/cloth and little booklets and warranty papers are all spot on. I'm positive they're genuine :smile1:

Enjoy the wayfarers, they're rocking!

Great! Thanks for having a look, I was quite worried there. I emailed the store a few questions and they said that Ray-Bans in the UK doesnt come with paperwork. Now I am at ease :yahoo:
