When I was going on vacation 2004 I saw a DW-8500 Codename on auction. I couldn't bid, because the auction was ending in the middle of my vacation. A pity, because red is my favorite color.

The seller is a frequent visitor of the Watch U Seek G-Forum. I mailed him after my vacation for some info about his watch, because I thought it was a Mudman. He said it was actually a Codename, but it was housed in a Mudresist housing, like the Mudman. He also told me the watch wasn't sold and made me a good offer.

Now it's in my collection and yours to view. Thank J.C.
