That chart is for aftermarket Esslingler spring bars for just about all vintage case numbers.

It comes from their blog at: https://blog.esslinger.com/generic-r...ing-bar-chart/

All the cases you asked about use the same replacement spring bar (highlighted below) For the most part, if you are using a genuine bracelet, they are 1.8mm.




But if you order a size up (i.e., 2.0mm) - like the 9291 - be aware that the nominal pin length may be slightly longer. By doing that the pins may protrude a bit (“stand proud”).

I don’t use generic spring bars unless I’m bending them to accommodate a leather strap with curved ends.

That’s not because I have any knowledge of they are inferior to Rolex - in fact, I believe Rolex outsources their bars anyway.
Thank you for posting this.

I just picked up a 7017/0 that needs new spring bars and I was unsure which were correct
