Hey everyone,

I recently posted my Casio G-Shock GM-2100 for sale on r/HyderabadBuySell, but someone commented that the watch might be fake. This has left me unsure about its authenticity, so I'd appreciate an honest assessment from people experienced with Casio G-Shocks.

My previous selling post:

Some details about the watch:

- Model: Appears to be the Casio G-Shock GM-2100-1A

- Condition: Excellent, very lightly used

- Usage: Worn only twice

- Original Casio box included

- No purchase bill, as it was gifted to me from KSA (Saudi Arabia)

- Silver metal bezel, black resin strap and analogue-digital display

I'd appreciate your help with two things:

1. Authenticity check

Do the dial, indices, hands, bezel finishing, caseback engravings, strap, buckle and overall construction look consistent with a genuine GM-2100?

If anything looks suspicious, please point it out and explain why. I'd rather know the truth than unknowingly sell a counterfeit watch. If the photos aren't sufficient to confirm authenticity, please let me know what else I should check.

Hey everyone!

I bought a Casio G-Shock DW-5600RL-1DR on Flipkart, and it was delivered today. Since it's my first time buying a G-Shock, I just want to make sure everything looks legit before I decide to keep it.

Here are the details:

- Model: DW-5600RL-1DR

- Module: 3525

- Warranty: 2 years of Indian manufacturer warranty, as mentioned on the invoice

One thing that seems reassuring is that I registered the watch on the official Casio India website, and the registration was approved. It also shows an additional 183 days of warranty.

I've attached a few pictures of the watch, including the front, sides and case back.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few things:

1. Does everything look right to you, especially the case-back engravings, screws, buttons and dial printing?

2. How much confidence should I have in the approved Casio warranty registration? Is it a good sign, or can that happen with counterfeit watches too?

3. Are there any specific things I should check on this model to make sure it's genuine?

4. Would it be worth taking the watch to an authorised Casio service centre to get it checked?

I'm not saying it's fake or genuine just yet. I just want to be sure I got what I paid for, so I'd really appreciate any help from people who own this model or know G-Shocks well.

Thanks!

If it’s fake I can return it please reply and tell as soon as possible

I order it it from flipkart it shows brand authorised seller ( wizrob fashion)

Heya bought 2 watches, is one of them fake or are both both are made in thailand. Came from Italy but one is more silvergold another is more pink gold.

EDIT: Both are well made and the viewing angles are good on both, one is more washed.

I'm almost certain this is a fake, but would appreciate others thoughts before I start a refund / report process on Ebay.
Purchased 'as new' in Australia from a seller who has 99.8% positive feedback, sold over 2 thousand units, has 230 followers and has around 200 watches listed, mostly Casio, G-Shock, Seiko and Citizen (among a few others, all Japanese brands I think?)
For starters it has 'Japan' on the back.
When I start the stopwatch the last digit of the 100's of seconds constantly displays '9' unless stopped (my other Casio's visibly display last digit even though it is obviously very quick).
There is no visible dot near the 24H part of the screen when I depress all buttons, which confuses me as I thought it would be larger, like on the image commonly shown here to identify fakes. But there is no dot at all. Bonus question, can anyone tell me when that dot is displayed in normal use?
The sound of the chime is much louder, but the same tone (to my old ears anyway) than on any of my other Casios (A700WM-7A, F91W, A158WA).
There was also no instruction manual in the box, and other signs such as not as good a finish on unit, unit weighs 62 grams, not 50 as specified on Casio site, etc, etc, etc.
Please see pics and let me know what you think.
Thanks :)

PS: edited to add, pretty certain I set time accurately upon receiving item yesterday, it was about 6 seconds out today!

I bought this model on... well... Mercado Livre. The price wasn't *that* low, though it was a good deal (30% off). What made me suspicious was the "Made in China" mark on the back. I looked it up and saw that Casio does indeed manufacture some models in that country. However, the AI ​​told me there are strong signs it's a replica—such as potential text misalignment and the wrong module number on the back (A158 models should have number 3298, not 593, which is used on F91W models). That said, I performed the test where you hold down the right button, and "CASIo" appeared, just as it does on genuine models.

So, what do you think? Is it actually a replica?

P.s.: I'm Brazilian, and yes, there are fake Casios here. I don't know how common this is in other countries.

Is this fake or genuine plz? FYI: It still function very well even under water.

Conseguem dar opinião se é original?

Is this a good deal?
