To honor
Narciso's idea, and try to clean up some of the authenticity clutter, please use this thread to ask "is this real?"
by consolidating all of the threads on authentication - we can clean up the diesel section, and lend a helping hand to those unsure of a pair's authenticity.
so please, post all authentication questions and pictures in this thread - thanks for your time!

the curvature of those whiskers is unlike real pairs, and is extremely similar to the parallel whiskers that can be found on many fakes

i still think they ones in question are fake.
the whiskers that do curve, curve upward slightly, rather than downward "U"

Im sure some fakers set up the factory to do a large run of these babys. They went for a good buck when they were new. So it must have been worth the money to take the time and make some fakes.
Also , the real 708 wash looks much more evenly ditributed ( grey dirt and fading). These look like they missed parts when they were dying them...
