woof* Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The only place I've seen gen Rolex spring bars so far is The Vintage Market on VRF. Dr B sells them from time to time. They are not cheap, I don't recall daytona prices but sub springbars are around 60$ a pair. I don't know if it's true, but I've read a few times Rolex AD's won't sell them loose unless you have a watch to show them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ofreis are great. Star times are not bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Older Daytona spring bars... "Anyone have an idea?" I believe they are the same 19mm sb used in a rolex 1500 opd etc and if so, they are easy to find. Swiss made aft/mkt rolex replacements are just as good as oem and I seriously doubt rolex makes their own sb anyway. I used to buy oem sb when we had a parts account but there was no difference in the oem and swiss aft/mkt at all. I have a set of aft/mkt swiss submariner sb that I use for fitting hoods/bcts and they have been r/r probably 100 times and spring tension is good as new. "I don't recall daytona prices but sub springbars are around 60$ a pair." They were $4 each when we had a parts account iirc. I do not doubt for a minute that a 'friendly rolex AD' would try to get $60 for a pair though. I know I sound like a shill for Star Time Supply but I have been using their swiss made rolex type sb for 10 or 15 years with no trouble at all. sb p/n RP23-6694S for 1500/6694 etc are $1.75 each sb p/n RP23-1675SW for early submariner/GMT are $1.75 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
