WTB vintage "springbars"

[Cats]

Just received a vintage PAM with these spring ( screw ) bars.

Here is a pictures of them:

And here is a drawing with the dimensions:

Does anybody know where to buy them.

Judging by the overall length I assume these are from a 47mm case. My very first Panerai style rep had this screw arrangement which is almost the reverse of the preV Panerai set-up. The preV 44mm models had a solid bar, the same dimensions as the normal later tubes, with internally threaded ends that took a short stuuby screw of a similar thickness to the later, long screws. If you can visualise the tube being solid and a short screw threading into each end where both lugs are unthreaded you can understand the preV setup.

I don't think that the arangement that you have was ever a Panerai feature and apart from the cheap and nasty first rep that I had I haven't come across it since. Your only hope is probably to go back to the supplier of this watch to get spares.
