Chinese Springbars Kaput... Where

[Watchwatcher]

I don't know about you, but I find that the chinese made springbars don't hold up for more than a few months until the end pieces begin to warp a bit from center tube and become loose...

I'm looking for some of the 20mm long, thin 1.3mm, double flanged bars in the highest possible quality, 100% stainless steel. (If they were available, i'd even pay up for a dozen in titanium)

OFREI, does of course have good quality ss springbars, but only if you buy 100 at a time. I do not need 100 yet (give me another year or two). http://www.ofrei.com/page232.html

Anyone have any suggestions on sourcing high quality springbars. THX

group buy?

that an idea. maybe pick out the 3-5 most common sizes everyone wants, order 100bag of each from OFREI and then I'd split them up and ship them out... probably US only though to keep the S&H simple... for $6 ($10 x 5 +$12shpg), you'd get 10bars each in 5sizes.

It's a little bit of an effort for a few lousy pairs of springbars... thoughts?
