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 ....

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

Be Safe

Good Hunting

Bill Sohne

Very nice Bill. Here is my Gruen driver’s watch. According to @Canuck it is circa 1955. His is a bit nicer with a signed crown. The lugs are articulated. I believe that this allows a driver to wear it on the side of the wrist, by the thumb bone. This makes sense if your hand is on the steering wheel. Steve

A couple of Japanese arrivals this week. A Seiko Seahorse "pre-diver" (with a 62MAS-style dial) and my first vintage Citizen, a 1976 Challenge Diver (ref 62-6198).
