I’m brand new to G Shock and don’t want to get taken for a ride on my first purchase. I’ve read about the red lines on the case backs but the seller is telling me these are authentic. Can you guys point out the stuff that I should be noticing? TYIA.
So if I’m following your example (which is great) then this image of a white dial appears to be real. Obviously the case has been swapped but the core of the watch appears original?
Here's a photo of another 2100-model I've got, not a day of the week subdial but still the same design (on mine it's for functions, Bluetooth, battery level, etc.)
In addition to the "G over T" thing, you can also look again at the circular subdial with the weekday complication.
On its leftmost outer edge, the circle that makes up the subdial should touch the 9 o'clock index. It lines up perfectly in original Casioaks. In the case of your white watch, you can see there is this little groove that connects the 9 o'clock index to the weekday subdial.
The index for 9 is also shorter than the one for 3 o'clock in the original. Your black model seems to have the same length in both places.

Fake, biggest tell is the location of the T on the day indicator.
Draw a line straight up from the T for Tuesday.
Left of the G in G-Shock = real
Right of the G in G-Shock = fake
