rosnik Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi guys. One silly question: were can I find a GEN Rolex spring bars reference code list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolexmaniac88 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 That is a very good question I unfortunately don't have the answer to. However, I'll add another one for the good soul who is probably going to answer your question very soon: where can I find GEN rolex spring bars? How can one source this kind of "parts"?

Gabus Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Any Rolex dealer has them, get friendly with one. I can get them from a dealer where I travel frequently. Will be in that town next around the 11th of Oct. Think I paid 15 for a pair last time. If all else fails PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCocktosten Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 That is a very good question I unfortunately don't have the answer to. However, I'll add another one for the good soul who is probably going to answer your question very soon: where can I find GEN rolex spring bars? How can one source this kind of "parts"? I have a trusted seller on the vintage rolex market/forum that I've bought many sets of OEM 2mm bars from. He usually gives me 3 pairs of bars for $20 shipped. We're both in the CONUS, though. Not sure of your location. PM if interested in his contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I bought 5 pairs of humongous stout bars on EBay for $.99 a set. I cannot bend one. Good stuff and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I bought 5 pairs of humongous stout bars on EBay for $.99 a set. I cannot bend one. Good stuff and cheap. I've never had good luck on the bay.. All of them I ever tried ended up being the slightly smaller ended yuki like bars. However, I am tempted by that obscene price and have PM'ed you for seller info if you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I bought 5 pairs of humongous stout bars on EBay for $.99 a set. I cannot bend one. Good stuff and cheap. In my experience, I have never had a problem with aftermarket springbars bending. However, virtually every aftermarket springbar I have purchased (even those reputed to be gens by less than genuine sellers) have had soft/weak internal springs, which translate to brief lifespans for the pins. Because of the weak springs, I have had a number of springbars simply let go, which results in serious problems. Whenever they are available, I always try to buy gens, which are rarely cheap. If you are offered cheap 'gen' springbars (less than $10/pair), I think it is safe to assume they are genuine aftermarkets.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 i got some decent ones from believe it or not wholesale outlet, survived many installs, but i feel the ends are a little shy of proper length. i have made a solemn vow to never buy anything from them again after parts that are advertised as 1:1 actually are not and i would encourage you to do the same. @rosnik 32-9291, sorry thought you were asking about bars for a sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 FlyingWedge, sorry but I looked back through my EBay history and I can't figure out who I bought them from. I've been using them for 6 or 7 years and they're still strong and stout. I used them in my gens and they fit fine. I have a spare pair left and gave a pair away. Sorry! Man I should have bought a fistful of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywood Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I've had great luck with the aftermarket spring bars sold by Jules Borel. The quality is superb and the price is right too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I bought a whole bunch from Mr Slimeball990 on ebay years ago. I got 20 sets of 2mm bars and they've been great for years. I do however agree that the internal springs are much weaker than gen Rolex bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Well, I don't know either as I was recently looking for the same. When I bought my 78390A bracelet, I didn't know Rolex would be kind enough to include spring bars, so I bought a set from Wholesale Outlet on Ebay while I was waiting for the bracelet to arrive. Well, as it turns out, there's really no difference between the generic and the ones from Rolex, so far as I can see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
