GW-6900 NASA24-1
My third G-Shock ever. I like this because……

1. NASA
2. Auto-EL doesn’t turn off by itself after 6 hrs.

I want a tough solar square now.

#TLDR:
I broke the crystal on my new GA-B010 by dropping it while disassembled. And I bought a very expensive bezel that doesn’t even fit.

 

## First FkUp is…

I got an inner ring for GA-2100 thinking it *might* fit.
Short answer. No. It doesn’t.
To get to inner indices ring, I couldn’t get it out from the back.
I pushed out the crystal, tried to fit the GA-2100, found out it doesn’t, and tried to press the crystal back in.
Thing is crystal kept falling out after I pressed it. I barely have any experience working on watches, so I thought I didn’t do it right. Then, I dropped the crystal.

## The second FkUp is…

I wanted to swap out the bezel. I looked everywhere. No one has it other than black one on EBay. At least, not in the states.
Then, I found this Spanish Casio authorized seller site. They had the orange GD-010-4 bezel that I was looking for. Shipping was…… twice the price but, at the time, I thought ‘fuck it. Let’s try it’
Fast forward, the GD-010-4 bezel arrives in the states via DHL Express. I knew I have to pay the import duty.
After a few days, I finally get an email requesting some info for me to fill out. Then, on their site, it says this package has 2 items. WTF?? I fill out whatever I can for the first item. For the second item, I just wrote “there is not supposed be a second item” and submitted.
After about 4 days, I get another email from DHL that I need to correct some info asking for 2 goddamn items. I called their customer service. Shit got resolved.

Then, yet another email from DHL lands in my inbox saying that I owe them 4 days worth of storage fee amounting to $200+whatever I was supposed to pay. I call them again. They waived the storage fee.

All in all, this orange bezel that costs 13 euros ended up costing about $75.

And the kicker is…it doesn’t fucking fit.

I thought, ‘Surely, GD-010 bezels look pretty spot on with GA-010. This could work.’ NOPE.

I’m a dummy who has to learn the hard way.

Hello.

So this picture is in our garage. Right above this is where our water heater tank is seating. We got our water heater replaced the last December and this started happening.

At first, I thought the plumber made a mistake or something or roof was leaking but I noticed later that water was overflowing out of this pipe whenever we had AC running so I’m assuming this is AC drain pipe. AC unit is sitting in the attic.

Should I just get a manual auger and try to clear it first before I call a plumber?

 

So, first, turn off the breaker to AC unit.

Then, go to attic, try to disconnect the drain pipe and pull it upward to clear this drain pipe in the floor.

Auger.

Profit???
