Grabbed this '94 5300 for
$31 & free shipping on eBay. Must admit I love the ol'school basic G-SHOCK look and
this particular case shape.
The first thing I did was immediately remove the former owner's DNA by a thorough application of mild soap via a disposable vibrating toothbrush over the entire watch and strap. Now completely clean - but with a light post-soap/wash residue that I seem to remember goes away...

Despite the replacement strap, I think it was a great price for its working condition (including the light). Looks like the module is slightly tilted (I'm assuming an easy fix). The back is clean, scratch-free and the screw heads show no signs of stripping.

Have only recently realized that the 5300 is
NOT the Cruise worn watch from the '96 M:I movie...
