THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 02/16/2025

Bill Sohne · Sun. 1:39pm

Hello Everyone

Just 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 conversation.. Having collectors either email me a photo of their watch ( or they can join the forum and reply to this thread ) so we can " chat" about it 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 exists ... 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 DST Sunday ....

Remember the Clubhouse room is only as good as the collectors that join in.... please post a watch, timepiece , clock etc you want to chat about.

Join the room !

Personally I would always opt for a MKI example of a watch..... but that is just me ...

Good Hunting

Many references are in the most demand for MK1, for sure. But as always, a fun example of why personal tastes make a market. To each his own! But I think pound for pound, MK2 of the Polerouter subs tend to go meaningfully higher than mk1.
