THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 05/19/24 / Your Top 5 Non-Omega watches!

Bill Sohne · May 19, 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 DST Sunday ....

Was inspired by @CBM1590 post asking about your top 5 Vintage Non-Omega watches....
So that will be our starting topic of todays clubhouse meet up .

THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 05/19/24

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

Probably been covered but I didn’t find it and I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts. I’m building my collection search list. What are your top 5 non-Omega vintage watches? A few caveats: they must be reachable (for me) price-wise (let’s say under $3000), they must be pre-1970, and nothing over 42mm. Let keep it to wrist watches. I have a good idea of my list in the pocket watch realm.

I don’t have a top 5 pounded out but my list might include Longines, Universal Geneve, Seiko, Nivada Grenchen, and I’d like to have a true military piece…I know I’m missing some great ones, hence the question. That list is certainly subject to change. Pics from your collection would be great! Fire away!
