Hi guys,
Very glad to hav found this topic specially for G-Schock collectors.
I'm new to G-shock, currently just own 1 G-shock (GD-100-1B).
Would love to buy more if $$$$ allows.
Guys, pls share your experience about buying G-shocks online through local sellers.
As im from Sarawak, the price of G-shock here is high and choices are limited at retail watch shops.
I saw online like some sellers at Lelong really offer low and attractive prices. Are they really original G-Shock as promised?
And i also noticed some G-shock posted online hav this shiny round sticker marked "S" stickered to watch back. What does this mean compared to MARCO distributed ones?
Hope seniors can help me out here.
Good day guys!
I from Kuching, sama sama Sarawakian

This you have to do research and gain experience as you visit watch shop and look at the watch shop displaying REAL watches.
Usually outside their store there will be a Fake GShock cabinet with all the fake ones on display with ridiculous colors that Casio Never produced (like a YELLOW color GX56). Observe the difference between Real and Fake G Shocks.
Visit the G Shock Asia/Japan site , see what sub Lines G Shocks have: 6900/7900/8900 series ; Master Of G series: Aviator Series; GA110 series, that will help you make sense of the watch that you are looking at. It will always be " Same Design . Different Color" concept.
But if the prices at Lelong are too good to be true like RM39 - RM150. then it should be fake and the seller is expecting you to know it by pricing it this low and expecting you not to make noise/complain later. So you know lah.
"noticed some G-shock posted online hav this shiny round sticker marked "S" stickered to watch back."
Just think of the sticker "S", "AB" like AP sets of mobile phone. The watch is sourced from other parts of the world like Europe, US by company "S", then watch shop who wishes to buy from that company can do so , prices maybe cheaper or on par with what we have by MARCO, depending on whether the model is popular or not , warranty wise have to claim from the shop that sell you the watch. Unlike Marco you can send to any Casio Dealer or direct . Usually thats what we consumer do, goto the shop that sell the thing to you to claim warranty right? So if you buy from Shop then everything "S" or "AB" is alright because you can comeback if anything goes wrong. Shopping online then maybe have to think a bit. Usually , G Shock watch is very durable and at most require battery change or belt change only. That any shop will be able to do. So "S" or Marco really depend on price.
