Is this a real Casio G-Shock? Very cheap if so..

I've found these on Ebay, they are advertised as Casio Gshocks but with 'BAPE' branding.
Does anyone know if they are authentic? Good value if they are!

"Real". Well, there are fake Gs out there, so does anyone know how to identify a fake?

no it is a fake, sorry.

The original Bape G-shocks were in very limited numbers, a few hundred pound's new and they are worth a bit more now.

My friend got caught and bought one of these from the bay, however since it was only 20GBP, he was fairly ok about it.

They usually all have the same serial number, and the packaging is not as high quality, you could say they are homage's, in the same design, but they are not the real deal.

If it has Casio and G-shock, it's not just a homage!

True.
