G-Shock 35th anniversary is already over and we are looking up next for
g-shock 40th anniversary but while waiting like five years from now
why not lets revisit back for previous releases and today we'll have a look at
G-shock 25th anniversary G-9025A-1DR, operates on 3031, this is for
the international release and release year was 2007, so if you are an old-timer
you probably have a rough idea of what's inside the box because it is a G-9000
which means the master of G mudman models, well casio release 2
version of this one for JDM one who.. one for a non-JDM, the JDM version
will came with a trunk case box and non-JDM will look like this, people
always after in the JDM and I hope you guys knows where this JDM and non-JDM
things originated from, because way back casio used to differentiate within these
2 and people love JDM version more. Anyway this box was designed by the same
person that designed our to 35th anniversary. ERIC HAZE obviously you can
see the stars and arrow over here and what else we have similar thing over
here G shock 2-5 over here, four stars I'm not sure why 4. he should add 5,
but you have sixth over here and sorta like a tag pretty cool so the watch itself is
just a mudman model, I really don't have to talk a lot about the watch that's why
I'm focusing most of the time talking about the box because what makes this
watch special is the packaging and also a little bit about a watch bit more on the
packaging you know because it looks very very rare, so this should be the manual
book, alright this is the tin case a lot of stars and arrows pointing to this tag
over here 25th anniversary and yeah nothing else this is also the first time
I review a non JDM 25th anniversary g-shock watch by the way I review a
similar one before like a couple years ago in 2016
6900 model but yeah that's pretty much it I didn't review a lot of 25th
anniversary, but this one though, I... you know what, since we are still in this
spirit of 35th anniversary, why not you know, grab this thing and just share to
all of you guys what things were looking like back in the old days like 20.. yeah
10 years ago right?, I believe this one is from G-Shock DAWN BLACK series, Casio
released five color variations similar way they're released five variations on the
Big Bang Black G Shock watches so that's why you're looking at a basic black with
a little bit of gold accents so in a way it does kind of like the Origin Gold
Series as well except this is five variations five different models
actually and each five came in JDM and non JDM so you guys already knows that. Okay
this is how the watch looks like, that's it, nothing else, no special function that
is all, so.. anyway let's have a look up close, probably there's something
different and this is the first time review this thing anyway as far as the
texture I would say the Big Bang Black feels better, they have a different
texture, the one over here feels normal but it does come in all black unlike
usual generic mudman releases that came in dark grey this one came in full black so
that's good. Fully matte-finish with dual illuminator
should I say..decal over here, the one over here has mudresist, the band keeper is basic
it came in this double buckle over here in gold it looks like a rose gold from this
camera but it is actually yellow gold with Casio Japan signed at the bottom
of it so that's good right and you'll see this uhm, a trademark of a
mudman, this texture a tire traction texture similar on this side as well
and you'll have a code down here, PUR; polyurethane material, Shock resist
over here and g-shock over there, so the back plates obviously came in two five
stamp in the center for 25th anniversary you'll have Casio, 3031
G-9025A, stainless steel back made in Thailand and water resistant to
twenty bar and a lot of this texture to be similar to every mudman 9000
series out there, looking on the side it came in this three screws to to lock the
watch band and one for this bezel I mean look this one to lock everything anyway
so it came in gold which is nice different but for today's standard,
obviously this is nothing, I mean we receive a lot more more rare more weird
colored mudman, but at that time in 2007 this whole thing is a big deal the
colorway itself just different it makes the watch looks much better so at the
front you'll see G shock and shock resistant over here, it came in dark gray
over here, so it blends very well it didn't look as cluttered I like that a
lot very minimalist and a lot of gold accents on the watch face plate obviously
to show you all the features the function that this watch have, which is
quite a lot. The Mudman I believe to be one of the most favourite entry-level master
of G among every collectors out there because of how tough it is, and it is
also small size, it provided great fitting, and the price is extremely low,
and it is super super tough, but I rarely review this because nothing I mentioned
is many times because the button is hard to use for me I mean you're gonna need
to exert a lot of force just to press a single button it's kind of annoying
sometimes, so let's have a look at the backlighting though. Alright do we have
any logo at all? mmm seems like yeah there are no
backlighting logo, quite sad, I'm hoping to see 25th anniversary logo of some
sort but keep in mind this watch has dual illuminator yeah the engine somehow is a
similar to basic mudman model. Okay we're back the buttons came in black for both sides,
in this side goes in round, this side goes in square. I bought the watch
in mint condition, not used condition the price for this is already expensive to be
double than original retail which starts at 14,000 Japanese yen so if
you're looking to get this one today expect to pay more than retail price
especially in mint condition in used condition however probably you should go
lower than that and you can see more gold accents around
the bezel for the metal plates to guard it
oh wait, my pet is coming on here, anyway just ignore him alright we'll
see more gold accent on the watch face, it came in positive display with gold
accents well, I didn't see any one of those mesh metal textures, so I have
assumed is just basic sheets of gold plate and what else we have, first
function you'll have your 1st stopwatch let's run this thing
2nd stopwatch, lets run this thing as well, you can see it move
upwards and move downwards, and next you'll have your countdown timer it runs
this to 24-hour range press this mode button will go to alarm you'll have one
two three four five including snooze and then you'll have your signal, next you
will run into our world time mode there it is, and go back to home
timekeeping. That's.. that's all, yeah obviously could swap to 24 hours time if
you wanted to. So my thoughts or opinion I will say again you guys could guess
already right it is incredibly simple. Hold on..
round at the back, alright, and it's just black and gold I would say although they
named this DAWN BLACK but basically it just uhm, sorta like one of those gold
and black series G Shock watches so yeah, except it came in black, from the
camera it looks darker than it is, but in personally look the less darker then you're seeing
right now so expect to see something lighter in tone, but it is different tone
from this gravitymaster I believe, yeah it looks different so side-to-side, there it
this very very gorgeous things to see both of these, I mean a lot of change
over time right
okay now I'm gonna wear to watch and let's see how it will fit, the last time
I review a 9000 mudman was like two years a go, so it has been a while.
alright so why not take this and review this I bought the watch on December of
last year obviously, but it takes too long to arrive and it's already 2019 so
that's why you're seeing this today, I should have made this video last year
but yeah I don't know man, it's just the delivery is taking too much time, with the
the whole holiday season you know and also I'm getting quite busy at that time so
this is it, alright, fits very well regular mudman
fitting, really comfortable to be worn, I believe I already disassembled this
watch to show you guys how the construction is from the inside I'll
probably gonna do that again except I'm gonna go even deeper in there
just to have a look at whats its look like underneath that display panel you know
so for now that is it, I hope you guys found this video a little bit useful
informative and entertaining thank you very much for watching guys this is GHF and I'm...
out
