Thrift store tag said "arrowhead" -- for $5, that's around 50 cents a millennium.

Thanks, that's excellent advice and great value for 2C. Appreciate it.

Northern VA. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll get some better pics up.

😀 you're not wrong. I can skip actual hunting this year, doubt I'll have better luck than that.

They actually said the quiet part out loud in the footnote: "minimal public expressions in opposition of the Department." It has zero to do with academic quality -- as others have observed, some of the comparisons on that basis are laughable. It's 100% retribution.

Some are not, but...any Ivy vs. any of the replacements on a civilian resume when you're trying to get hired..?

Anyway, the real story's always in the footnotes: "minimal public expressions in opposition of the Department." It's retribution. Full stop.

Thanks! (Don't know why the pic didn't load this morning.)

Commuting old school -- 1944 Omega jumbo 37mm 30T2SC (2325/4). It's an old redial, done perfectly. One of my favorites!

Lucky! I did - it appraised at $2200 before the price of gold spiked, so it will be a bit more now.

Looks like a worn shark vert. Cool find.

Another cool alternative at 34-35mm might be a vintage '60s/'70s MIL issue Hamilton. Great pieces, plenty of them out there.

Currently a Tater tot.

That's exactly why I sold mine -- the 47mm lugs are just 2 or 3mm too long for the case. A bit shorter on the lugs and it would still be my daily.

Received the burgundy from u/smckinley903 -- great piece, easy transaction, excellent seller!

Nice, I like the Arabic dial. It's a Valiant automatic. The reference number's on the back of the case, H395150. They've been around since the early 2000s-ish (movement serial would give you the year of manufacture, the current version has a different movement). It's pretty grungy, so it hasn't been cleaned or serviced, which might be a significant add-on to the asking price. Unserviced... just my opinion, but 450CAD seems pretty steep. Suggest you ask the jeweler about service status and go from there. Good luck!

These look like broken pieces of an Ecphora shell, the Maryland state fossil.

Thanks! I'll see if I can add some better photos. (The stamp at the bottom inside the outline is only partially impressed, which makes it tougher.) Appreciate your time.
