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

I have this Omega movement marked 268 on barrel/winding bridge and marked 30T2 on the main plate. Dan S was wondering if that was normal or perhaps parts were swapped.

IMO, parts were swapped.

Need to check out plate as a plate from a 267 should fit. The plate it marked “PC” for shockproof . Not sure why it would have been replaced as the movements overall condition would not warrant it. As plating looks to be in same condition between the plates …..

Exactly and ... exactly. I've never seen one like this before and how would a 30T2 plate still be used in the early 1960s. On the other hand, everything appears to match. 😵‍💫
