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 .... THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 07/31/22 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. Be Safe Good Hunting Bill Sohne

My Westclox branded AS based alarm fresh back from service. Not like the usual dollar watch quality but a nice high quality Swiss water resistant SS case

A nice 1941 Omega that I missed out on on eBay but last week. It looks like the crystal has been broken and scratched the dial and then the owner has put it in a drawer for about 50 years because the movement looks so clean. I loved the Art Deco numerals though. .
