I attacked mine with some meguiars and an old toothbrush , came up nice and white again !

Washing machine??

Waterproof and all that so should be fine.

Might fk the washing machine drum. Try a dishwasher instead.

What about the steam in the dishwasher? Would that penetrate the case?

[ShadownINja]

Might be worthwhile searching on youtube. I'm sure someone's already done it. IIRC someone's boiled a G-shock as a test.

I use an ultrasonic bath, hasn't hurt any of mine. Prior to that I just chucked them in my jeans pockets on a full wash load once in a while, again - never hurt them.

Second the dishwasher comment. Give it a good scrub with a toothbrush and some APC, then bung it it the dishwasher on a normal wash.

ETA: Just thought - if this is a BAPE and it's white, maybe don't put it in with anything covered in tomatoey pasta sauce

I don't know if I would willingly put a watch in a dishwasher. Those things get pretty hot.

Yeah, but this isn't about "a watch". It's about "a G-Shock".

Here's the kind of abuse they'll put up with.
