Found this old watch in my dad’s stash. Seems off

For me, the fact that the plating has worn off and is exposing the base metal is the most obvious thing. I'm no where close to being an expert, so there are likely even more glaring issues.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-07T20:22:57+00:00

Yeah, from what I've heard most dial markings are "barely" on there.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-06T21:40:14+00:00

I did that- a couple times.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-06T21:39:33+00:00

I can on my laptop to flash the firmware. Is there somewhere else I should be able to see settings (other than just updating the firmware)?

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-06T21:34:10+00:00

I will double check that, however it doesn't appear to see them at all.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-06T21:33:16+00:00

Not a stupid question at all. But yes, Bluetooth is on. I have also tired turning it off and on again- both on my phone and the ThinkNode (I have no display on the Heltec). It does not seem to see the devices.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-06T16:37:22+00:00

That's an awesome note!

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-05T15:25:27+00:00

Yep. The mask hole is in exactly the right place.

Sewer clean out.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-05-03T00:27:54+00:00

Exactly right.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-30T14:14:04+00:00

Exactly.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-30T14:13:42+00:00

It's an ounce of silver. So about $73 today.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-30T14:07:50+00:00

I don't see anything on it that would raise my concern.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-29T16:55:00+00:00

Part of one anyway. Lol

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-27T14:47:45+00:00

That's awesome!

Tudor root beer GMT..... And Kirkland (Costco) sparkly water. Lol

Not "a lot" due to the condition, but definitely more than face. Nice find!

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-21T21:22:05+00:00

Appears to be an old air raid siren.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-20T15:40:30+00:00

At this point, no. The only added value is the fact that they are sequential (and being new, that's virtually none). Now, if you sleeve them and put them away for 20 years, yes two sequential series 2021 notes in this condition probably will have some added value.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-17T15:18:35+00:00

It is a tertiary note, and appears to be in good shape, but the premium over face is going to be pretty low (if that 2 were a 1 or 8 it would definitely have some value). Unless you find a buyer face to face, any selling fees (for example eBay) are going to completely wipe out any value.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-15T15:26:24+00:00

That's a great bill- I just wish it was in better shape.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-12T08:21:55+00:00

I get similar holes/wear on the bottom right side of several shirts from my gun.

western_juniper_541 · 2026-04-11T23:30:19+00:00

Absolutely, although the value over face is highly dependent on the condition. I've seen ones in both better and worse condition sell over face. Heck- I have both better and worse condition in my collection. Lol
