Two tone watches are an easy tell. Look for scratches on the gold portion, if the underneath metal is not gold then it is a fake as Rolex Two Tone only use solid 18k gold on their gold parts.

There should be scratches on the bracelet. Look for deeper scratches and see whether if the underneath metal is the same color as the top metal.

Yes I did change my DW6900 battery early this year by a ahpek watchshop. Done within 10 mins.

After replacing with new battery, just remember to reset the G-Shock by connecting the AC point to the back of the battery.

If it was scratched up and the color does not look different between the areas where there are no scratches and the areas with scratches, then it is a real gold watch.

There is a reason why steel watches are the most popular counterfeit watches worn by posers. Fake gold watch, after a week or so of wearing it, will show that it is a fake due to the scratched areas looking either black or silver.

Nope. I don't think so as Sapphire glass is around RM1000 cost for around 32mm diameter.

You can however get a Swatch skeleton watch for less than 2k but it will have a plastic glass.

Yes AD is Authorised Dealer.

Fossil and Michael Kors are mineral glass and not Sapphire. Go check their website.

Besides, to a lot of us, Sapphire glass is an afterthought and not that important. We don't see the allure of Sapphire glass. Even the Moonwatch is hesalite and not Sapphire.
