vlydog Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Greetings, I have been working on constructing a Hybrid bracelet for my WM9 sub. I removed the clasp from the WM9 and attached it to a TW's best bracelet. The word on the street is that the TW's best end links are the finest around for proper fit and authenticity. To my surprise, the spring bars that came on the WM9 sub would not fit through the inner diameter of the TW's best end piece. How many different diameters exist among Rolex spring bars? Does anyone have a spare pair I can try? Thank you, vlydog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 It looks like Otto Frei has both 1.8mm and 2mm spring bars for a 20mm case. Maybe I need the 1.8mm size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 You can always use a file to make the hole a little bigger or use a samll drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hopefully the 1.8mm spring bars wll work. The rep bracelets often times are smaller than the Rolex bracelets in that respect. As ciborgman says, you can drill them and enlarge them that way. But you need a vice and a drill press. Since no one sees the spring bars on a late model sub, i'd stick with the smaller ones and skip the drilling. The drilling isn't easy, IMO.
