THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 06/04/23

Bill Sohne · Jun 4, 2023

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 4 pm EDT Sunday ....

Early type ii waterproof wristlet zenith private label. 35.5 mm in diameter ....

Type 2: The second design is a more conventional case with a screw back and bezel. These are simple to open, on the back there are usually the words “To unscrewrq with an arrow that shows you which way to turn it and a milled edge to grip. It is a normal right hand thread so it is not really difficult to work out which way to turn it if there is no arrow. The front bezel unscrews in exactly the same way. The examples that I have seen of watches with this Type 2 case are smaller than those with the Type 1 case.
