Same here. The Bape ones has pretty fake-ish fonts...Maybe that's why it's so hard to differentiate...smile.gif

yeah. their choice of colour & design somewhat made the original ones looks fake. at first I thought somebody just made them up until I found out that there are original ones that looks exactly the same sweat.gif

I can't make out what model is that but based on that photo, I doubt you'll be able to find a replacement bezel.

Anyway, there are new GD models, the GD-350. Looks rugged and really tough. Love the 9 o'clock position digits.

RM410 is a really good price but documentation alone would not be sufficient to prove the watch to be legitimate. but most of the times cheaper price also means the watch is original, but the warranty is not from the official importer/distributor, Marco Corporation and the shop owner must have outsourced them from elsewhere. fake G-Shocks is very easy to differentiate since they are very poorly made, plus sometimes they're produced the ones with colours that's not available in Casio's catalog

if yours is a GA-110-1A then it should look exactly like this:

also, here's some examples of fake G-Shocks: *beware of eyesore*

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


and here's a good example of build quality, as shown with the original (top) and fake/replica (bottom) of the model GA-110A-4

Our contact shown us on last weekend, there is no way can differentiate original or fake GA now.
They already got some fake stock from the market looks and works 100% like original.
Not sure what is their next plan to stop this.

previously GA-110 & GA-100 are some of the easiest ones to differentiate since the small indicator on fake ones are not functional, just being there for looks

haven't encountered the ones that you mentioned, but surely worried about it. next time I'll be sure to only get my future G's from legitimate sources

maybe you can try bringing it to a G-Factory outlet and ask them whether they can have the parts ordered

speaking of which, I was planning to restore my DW-6600 but always forgot to bring it to them laugh.gif

Yes it is. Well I think it is, based on the 'Vibration' wordings on the watch itself.

If you can read Japanese, the press release is here. Maybe there are more info in the press release. smile.gif

For new collectors like you, the best is to buy from G-Factory.

If you prefer to by online, try http://projecthullabaloo.blogspot.com/ . They are based in Johor and very reputable. Their prices are quite ok too. Some of their models are slightly more expensive but some are a lot cheaper than what you see in the shops. A lot of forummers but from Hullabaloo.

For limited/special editions, I usually buy from eBay. Most G-Shocks sellers from eBay are from Japan so mine are usually from Japan.
I always buy from these two - bitrade and jr-rc but they sell older/vintage models. Not a lot of new ones though. SUPER FAST delivery.

Locally, it's Project Hullabaloo for me. I've never bought from G-People or DAVIS but I've heard of them enough to know that they are reputable.

The unofficial G-Shock Malaysia FB fanpage had plenty of sellers last time and I bought a huge chunk of my collection from these sellers. Too bad the admin of that page decided to close off comments from other people and only sell their own stuff.

Hope that helps. smile.gif
