watchguy51 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I like the look of when vintage Rolexes with drilled lug holes have the spring bars poking through. But they're not ordinary springbars. We know they're thicker (2mm). But it also looks like their ends are rounded. Is that true? Where can I get similar spring bars, thick with the rounded edge? Are they available in other sizes and thicknesses? If anyone can shed light as to whether they do have special rounded ends, and if there's a source for similar ones, that'd be great.

tomhorn Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 These are the aftermarket version most recommended by those building 1016 Explorers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/280268065798?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misiekped Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Nothing beats the genuine bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Nothing beats the genuine bars +1 I tested almost all the aftermarket 2.00mm bars, they are all bullshit, and fits bad on the case. You can sometimes find some genuine bars on VRF I bought 2 sets of bars for $50 1 month ago... It worth the cost !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchguy51 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 But do they have rounded ends? And do other spring bars also have rounded ends in the same fashion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 If you go to most any AD they will sell you spare spring bars, I buy mine locally for $12/pair. Most aftermarket I've bought suck, they are nowhere near as strong as the gen -they bend easy and the springs give out in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchguy51 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I can't go gen I want to place a bulk order (~1000). So I'm trying to track down a supplier for the next best thing If you go to most any AD they will sell you spare spring bars, I buy mine locally for $12/pair.
