Question for the G-Shock Experts

[AlephZero]

Been looking for a nice cheaper G for a while, and I stumbled upon this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Casio-Sport-Battery-Digital-Mens-G-SHOCK-Watch-G-8900-1D-G-8900A-1D-/161653359405?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

Any way to tell whether or not it is a genuine G-Shock? It always puts me on alert when I see "Free Shipping"

[dks]

In no way an expert - very little knowledge, but:

The  price seems genuine and the feedback seems good.

also look at this search:

Did you check our own lowtech has many g's forsale. Like DW-8800, wich looks a bit like one you want. And his prices are great as allways.

It seems legit to me though I have not researched the price

[lowtech]

The price is in the right league (overly cheap sales should set off your alarms) and the pics show real G-Shocks. It has been reported taht sellers use stock Casio pics and ship fakes, but given the feedback rating, I´d say you are safe. Free shipping is often offered to get more prominent search results and better ebay scoring for professionall sellers.

Edit: I nearly forgot to blatantly advertise my own sales thread...

Thank you for the info, lowtech 

I did check your sales thread, but unfortunately I have quite specific requirements for my first G (namely the metallic blue color)

[lowtech]

It´s good to know what you want. Otherwise you end up with cases full of nice watches that are somewhere inbetween good and excellent but not quite what you are looking for. Ask me how I know...
