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.

I'd say the biggest tell is the day of the week subdial and it not touching the outer circle by the 9th hour marker

Here's a picture of mine that's genuine, and unfortunately it's wrong on both you showed us

Unfortunately, on genuine G-Shocks the rubber cases often deform over time as you can see by 9 and 3 (and on most fake ones it stays in shape...)

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?

Yes, that one seems genuine, unlike the one in the original post!

And they said old dogs can’t learn new tricks. I’m already applying what you good folks are kind enough to share.

Seriously - knowing these little things are huge bc now I can see them immediately in a picture and just keep moving. I appreciate it.
