Serenity Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 No problem. Do you know how they compare to WSO springbars? The Ebay ones I mentioned have flat tips so I ended up not ordering them. I'm using my Yuki bars for the time being, which actually aren't that bad after all. I think it's just my leather strap that is interfering with how they sit. When they are installed in the watch head alone they look fine. Honestly, I've never personally had the WSO bars, but I've read that they lose spring tension/strength after a few removals. It might been luck of the draw for those particular bars, but I can't be certain. The Startime bars have held up very well though, including through many removals as I mess around making leather straps and test fitting them.

Do either of you by any chance have any spare ST bars you want to sell? I looked at setting up a watchmaker account, as was described in that thread above, but there is a minimum order plus shipping. I don't have any other needs at the moment. No worries if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Great looking watch! 2 days ago I sent a mail to Francis asking if one of these is still available... You can even choose between 200m=660ft and with Mark I or II dials. I hope to get one too, because I love them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 And they are available! Wooohooo!! Great Glad to hear it. It really is a great base for modding. You can even use a gen dial with these cases. Not that you would put a gen red dial in here, but a white certainly could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
