I've never seen any fake 5600s. Lol well im not to sure if I have or not. Some one else answer for me lol. All I know is there are Tons! Of fake 6900s

The G-shock lettering on the bezel seems a bit odd to me.... The letter W in the display also looks off.

Otherwise I think it looks legit.
You are right about there not being a lot of fake 5600's, but Bape's are the exception

Here's the face of my dw-5600 the "w" looks similar.

I'm sorry but the one you have is a fake. I have the authentic version of this watch (extremely rare) Notice how the words "Protection" and "G-Shock" are very clean looking on my watch, and not smudgy like the one you have. Also where is says "ape shall never kill ape" on my watch is lasts the length of 5 strap holes, on yours it lasts for seven (6900 fake bapes do that as well) also the dash between month and the day of the of the month (top right) is way too high, see on my watch how it's evenly in the middle. Another way you can tell that yours is a fake, is look at the top left button (adjust) it protrudes out of the watch equally to the rest of the buttons. It's supposed to be a lot closer to the bezel, thus making it harder to accidentally press, and change the time by accident. I hope this helps.

Just re-read your post, I originally thought you already purchased it. Glad to see you were just looking at it.

Thanks for the comparison.... I thought I had struck gold. I was going to run out to buy it tomorrow but I definitely had my doubts after seeing your pictures on the wruw thread.

well good thing you realized it. Where did you see this watch?...at an actual store?

Pawn shop (another reason why I doubted its authenticity)
