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 ....

Saw this on the wrist of one Mr James May when I met him on Tuesday.

In the late 1940s, Rolex unveiled a unique Oyster Perpetual model, characterized by its gracefully arched lugs. Collectors have since fondly dubbed these models "Rolex Bombé" or "Bombay" in the Americas, inspired by the lugs' distinct, twisted with rounded shape. While this term isn’t official, it has become a beloved reference among enthusiasts.

5016 5018 has been refered to as " Bombay Bubblebacks" due to the twisted and curved lugs.
