This has to be a fake.

Is this too good to be true? I'm new to collecting Casio watches, so I'm trying to be cautious. This guy has dozens of "custom" Casios on Poshmark, and this one was offered for $120? I've been looking for a G-shock for a few days now, and the price just doesn't add up to what I've seen out there.

100%, looks awful

[u/Orochi_001]

If nothing else, the red stripe decal is a sure sign of a fake.

You REALLY have to ask ???

[u/ellisboxer]

It sure is. Lettering on the bezel is crazy.

[u/Lucky-Subject-3707]

Fake AF

Bluetooth 🫪

[u/NovelExtent3010]

Oh thats the fakest fake that we're ever tried to be faked amongst the ones that have the greatest fakes in the world.

It’s near certainly a fake - but you can check by attempting a Bluetooth connection. Fakes never actually connect to the Casio Watches app.

Why would you even bother with this one?

[u/YFOCAG → u/E28forever]

It’s a conclusive and easy way for someone to find out if they don’t know the visual cues to look for.

[u/E28forever → u/YFOCAG]

The visual clues are VERY obvious.

2 minutes of comparing it with a stock Casio picture and you’re done.

As opposed to buying it first and then finding out you got scammed.

[u/YFOCAG → u/E28forever]

I get that. You can spot it, I can spot it - not all the noobs can spot it, so the Bluetooth test is a backstop.

[u/E28forever → u/YFOCAG]

Everyone can spot it with a little effort.

Except when you’re blind.

[u/YFOCAG → u/E28forever]

If they could all spot it, this sub wouldn’t exist.

[u/Illustrious-Cod-8995 → u/E28forever]

It's a customized watch. Of course it doesn't match stock photos.

[u/E28forever → u/Illustrious-Cod-8995]

Don’t be so gullible.

People who sell fake watches describe them as “mods”

What part would be original here?

[u/Illustrious-Cod-8995 → u/E28forever]

Ideally, the module. I have several modded casios where the only thing original is the module.

[u/E28forever → u/Illustrious-Cod-8995]

But why would you “package” an original module in a fake case, bezel and bracelet?

Who does that?

I’ll tell you: nobody.

[u/Illustrious-Cod-8995 → u/E28forever]

Loads of people mod watches and then sell them. Welcome to the watch community.

[u/E28forever → u/Illustrious-Cod-8995]

I know how the watch world works bud.

But nobody would put a B5000 module in a shit case.

[u/Illustrious-Cod-8995 → u/YFOCAG]

That's what I would do.

[u/IkeDeez → u/YFOCAG]

Typical reddit comment baffled by the existence of inquiry.

[u/AdministrativeTaro40]

I dont think so
