Those all look real ismy.

Fakes of older models like those are usually very obviously fakes.

The fakers are getting better, the newer model fakes are very good and it's hard to tell real from fake.

[is that my watch]

yes or no ? don't think have seen this model before ?





mean it looks right ?

[Greg]

Looks genuine to me.

Erm interesting...

I know g shock always do these limited ones but not sure I like the idea really kinda always like the fact most g was easily affordable so it was a working mans / ladies watch. but with them doing some supper expensive ones it is losing that and to me this is a shame as could put people off and some time those paying more for them are losing more as some of the gorilla stuff can be had for half the price second hand not all of them but the 6900 have seen cheap for one and other models too

just wondering is their any money in modding g-shocks.. I thought not as I did a mudman mod and think in the end was out of pocket on that. ok at the time did not build it to sell just what with the stiff buttons and case shape it did not suit me thought I would gain on it but sold for what I had bought it for before the mod bezel / strap ect ... but seen some buy now mod model at more then they would be un modded so is their a market it for it do you think ?

am waiting on parts to do a 5600 mod and was thinking of doing a 6900 mod too can you see these possible making money on them ? possible thinking of combining my hobbie with making a few quid too ?

Really not a good way to make any profit unless it's a very rare, vintage collectable. Other than that, probably best to hope for break even or not lose too much and just enjoy the hobby.
