THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 01/28/24

Bill Sohne · Jan 28, 2024

hi everyone.

Just a FYI . this is still a work in progress..... The Things With Springs Clubhouse room is meant for a Live watch forum experience with a small GTG. We are striving for a collector to collector conversations.. having collectors either email me photo of there watch ( or they can join the forum and reply to this thread ) so we can " chat" about in real time... Just to be clear we dont have to talk about a posted watch ... this is a free flowing room on topics on vintage watches and things around watch collecting ... And at the end of the GTG when everyone leaves the CH room... and the room no longer exist ... This thread will remain as a quasi record of the event and we can later go back and refer to.... Hear you at 3:00 pm EST Sunday ....

Gave new life to my 14381 this week with this 1035 flat-link.

Also, I picked up this unknown reference. I originally thought it might be a 2640 (center-second version of the 2639), but now I'm not sure.

Origin of the Nixon bracelet name. https://www.fratellowatches.com/i-cant-believe-how-much-i-love-the-nixon-bracelet/#gref

This really surprised me. I measured this 1968 6105-8009 with my Geiger counter and it is very hot. I didn't think that Seiko used radium.

I am still trying to figure out what reference this vintage Omega is. The diameter is 33.8mm, 18mm lugs. The movement is a 344 and the serial number is from 1952. It was suggested that it was a 276X but all the pictures I have found of those have different lugs and case back design.
