Can I use this? I'm newbie and want to hear some words from you guys who r experts. For me it is 2mm and for 20mm rug . The shape of it looks similar to those which r used for 1016 bracelets.

Or, I ordered folded bracelet from josh. Does it have fine spring bars?

The best aftermarket option is the "Aussie" aka "Fasci" springbars from eBay seller "twente(o)".(http://www.ebay.com/sch/twente%28o%29/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=).

 

This assumes your case accepts the fat springbars, or has been drilled to accommodate them, and that your endlinks can accept the fat springbars as well.

I can confirm, the Fasci 1016 springbars are quite good!

 

They have a much thinner mid section making them compatible with as good as all bracelets aftermarket or gen. (no need to modify the bracelet).

The Josh vintage folded bracelet "7836" I received needed to be drilled out to accept 2mm bars. Both the bracelet and end links. The end links were not a great fit on my Jmb 1016 case and WSO 580 end links fit better. Initially I used WSO spring bars but have switched to ST. Maybe if I used these other bars recommended above I would not have needed to modify the bracelet but I do believe it was set up for 1.8 bars.

I'm just eyeballing it, but these look like Submariner-sized bars. If you were to use these on a 1016, I'd recommend filing them so the tips don't protrude from the lugholes. Also, if you check my past threads (link below), I compared several aftermarket springbars with genuine 1016 bars.

I didn't have to do anything to Mary's 7836 for my build, but I did use the WSO 580 endlinks for fat spring bars instead of what came with it.

 

I used a gen 16014 case, and the lug holes did have to be drilled to accommodate the Aussie springbars.
