altesporsche Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 On 2017-02-10 at 1:11 AM, dbane883 said: Hey guys. Thought I'd drop in to say hello. Also wanted to share some analysis of 20mm spring bars I've "discovered". For the past couple of years, I've sworn by ST (Startime) spring bars. Unlike most rep and aftermarket bars, the springs don't crumple, the ends are nicely rounded, and they are made in Switzerland. They really are terrific. But I have an account at a part supply company called Beco-technic in Germany. I've ordered stuff from them a few times, but never thought of trying their spring bars until my most recent order. To my surprise, they are superior to ST bars and I suspect genuine Rolex bars are made by the same factory. Side by side, the ST bars are nearly identical to the Beco-Technic (BT) bars. The ST bar ends are rounded, and the BT bar ends are conically tapered: Now here is a comparison of the BT bars (on the left) and gen bars (on the right). Both ends are conical: Keep in mind, that these observations are based on a random and very small sample size and no two spring bars are identical . Now here is a shot of all three together (ST on left, BT in middle, Gen on right: Conical or rounded, I don't think anyone will care. But a more important contrast is the strength of the internal springs. I've always found the ST springs are "noisy" when compressed. The BT and gen are much quieter. Further here is some VERY unscientific measurements of the force required for full compression (using a kitchen scale). The gen bars, are not new, but measured 506 grams on the scale; equivalent to 4.96 Newtons (if my math is correct. I have a Physics degree but I don't remember jack [censored]): The brand new BT bars measured a whopping 580 grams (5.68 N): And finally, brand new ST bars averaged 380 g (3.72 N): Had the gen bars been brand new, I imagine the springs would be slightly stronger. At any rate, I think my go-to bars from now on will definitely be the Beco bars. If you try to order from them, keep in mind you will need to be approved. Also, I had a lot of trouble accessing their website recently (www.beco-technic.com). I'm in Canada and could not load the page for unknown reasons. So I changed my IP address to Germany and it worked fine. Odd. Frankly, I think 20mm ST bars (or equivalent) are just superb for any watch that accepts them. But the BT's are as close as I have ever seen to what you would get from RSC. Thanks for the info !! You are in Canada ? Happen to have any extra kicking around ? I'm needing 2 sets of bars lol was actually online last night looking lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmaker Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks heaps Bart. Do they have any minimum order requirements if you've ordered ??Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 No minimum order, but the ad is not clear. It is not specified whether the price is for a bar or a pair. I ordered 1 and received a pair. Then a friend ordered 4 and received 2 pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Ok thanks Bart. I'd try ordering and let everyone know. Great find.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rower Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm looking for a Spring Bar too...preferably one that serves some really great bourbons! Most bars serve year round. Not just in the Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 So I tried to order from the link Bart posted above. I guess it's only viable options for members in Europe. Because the shipping alone is costing me €45 to Australia. But as Bart mentioned, there's no minimum order requirement.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
