bluesme519 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Anyone tried this out?http://m.ebay.com/itm/400816707783?_mwBanner=1 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? Edited December 25, 2014 by bluesme519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) 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.

blue. Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 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).

droptopman Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 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. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

lhooq Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
