I'm picking up a new bracelet for my GMT tomorrow - I originally bought it on the leather strap.

Will the new bracelet come with spring bars/will the AD fit new spring bars?

The spring bars on the leather strap seem quite sturdy, so would like to keep those for using on the leather/have a spare set...

I think those questions are better suited for the AD. Please report back their responses.

When I ordered my GMT bracelet it came with spring bars. And yes the AD should certainly size the bracelet and use the new spring bars.

Not a BB bracelet but when I ordered my North Flag bracelet, it arrived with new spring bars. My AD has a watchmaker in house and he fit it for me though I could have easily done so myself. I got the old spring bars back.

In some cases the leather straps use a different spring bar than the steel bracelet. Good news if the steel bracelet has new spring bars.

I did it the other way, bought it on the bracelet and ordered the leather strap. I believe they just used the springbars already in place when they put the strap on. TBH, my plan was to wear the strap in the cooler months and bracelet in the warmer ones, but I've enjoyed the leather so much, the bracelet has just sat in the box.
