I just picked up this unusual orange g shock from an op shop. (Thrift store) If you ever think used watches have an a lot of dna on them, imagine what you can find I and on a Mudman! I should have taken progressive shots! It was gut wrenching. 1. Take front and back case and band off. Dried mud that looked like coal and fibrous matter that may or may not have been hair. Clean with toothpick obvious matter. 2. 2x Ultrasonic clean with detergent 3. Tooth brush and detergent. It was gross but it got rid of most of it. Will probably do another. I love it. This particular variant of the Mudman gives the usual g shock features: Auto illumination Day date month 12/24 hr time ect This one has dual stop watch with a 5sec countdown. Really cool if you want to set your watch to time you then run or ride or paddle. It has count down timer with repeat and interval warnings at 1 min once you get close to your endpoint It does flash alarm. At the gym or during exercise who can hear the alarm.... It flashes the backlight. It displays the time during all the other modes in the smaller display window. I will be doing tough mudder later this year. Guess what I'll be wearing.

Used G Shocks can be a bit dicey outside of collector circles. People actually beat on them...go figure. The 9000 series is my favorite of the mudman models. The Dual Illumination is still worth the admission price.
