mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 06/29/2008 3:25 pm I was browsing the infamous ebay for fugio stuff and came across the one below in the picture. I don't know a lot about them, but this one appeared a little different because of something rectangular behind the linking rings (as highlighted in red). Has anyone seen this before or does anyone know what this is? Mike Report this Post to the Staff

As you look at the picture the straight line at the bottom of the "rectangle" is the top of the exergue from the other side below the sundial where the motto "Mind your business" is found. Again looking at the picture, inside the 11:00 ring you can see the D from MIND, and inside the 1:00 ring is the O from YOUR. Report this Post to the Staff
