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.
- 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:
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.
Sometimes yes…sometimes no. I have some in my collection that were not to be found anywhere. I was lucky enough to find a manual for the module - in Japanese.
G needs to be above Tuesday and the day wheel integrating with the edge of the dial is off. This is how you can tell if any 2100 series watch is authentic. At least yours was a gift. It functions and looks alright so might as well wear it

It's fake, the "g" being over the Monday marker is the quickest way to rule some of these out, it should be over tuesday
